There is disclosed a paving member comprising: a body having a base configured to be supported on a ground surface and a surface configured to support traffic thereon, the body comprising a combination of aggregate and cement mixed at a ratio of 5:1 such that the body is permeable to water to facilitate collection of water therein and delivery of said water to said ground surface.

This invention provides an artificial turf infill material including a microporous zeolite mineral having a selected gain size smaller than 5 mm and a porosity between 15% and 30%, where the microporous zeolite mineral has a grain size distribution as follows: 90% to 100% of the grains have a size in the range 0.4 mm to 5.0 mm.

A sports field comprises a base structure and a cover. The cover is at least partly permeable to fluid, especially water. The base structure comprises voids for containing fluid. The base structure forms a substantially continuous deck supporting the cover. The cover comprises or is formed by an artificial sports layer, such as artificial grass. At least a number of the voids are in fluid communication with each other. Wick elements are provided fluidly connecting at least a number of the voids with the cover for supplying fluid from the voids to the top layer.

A method for manufacturing a synthetic non-perforated drainable material is disclosed herein. Generally, the method includes injecting a coating material with air, applying the air-injected coating material to the first side of the material, and curing the air-injected material such that it adheres. Once cured, the material has a highly efficient drainage rate that remains consistent throughout the life of the material.

Various embodiments of a system for monitoring drainage of a permeable pavement system are provided as well as various exemplary installation scenarios. In particular, embodiments of a permeable (or pervious) pavement management platform are disclosed herein. In embodiments, the pavement management platform provides a service that allows the user to determine vacuum maintenance needs for permeable (or pervious) pavement systems. Advantages of the platform include: subscription-based asset management platform as a service (PaaS), customized off-the-shelf water-level sensors, off-the-shelf tipping-bucket rain gauge, observation well installation consistent with industry standards, can be implemented in residential, commercial, municipal, county, and state systems, lithium-ion battery powered sensor, LoRA sensor to hub data transmission network, cellular data transmission from hub, electrical power for cellular data transmission hub (can be solar panel powered), real-time dashboarding of surface runoff storage, real-time dashboarding of ground water recharge rate, and permeability (clogging) threshold alerts, among others.

1. A panel system is provided that includes: a first and second panel each having a top side providing a road surface and a bottom side opposite the top side, where the bottom side contacts a ground surface, and a plurality of lateral sides. At least one of the plurality of the lateral sides of the first and second panels include a feature that interlock adjacent lateral sides of the first and second panels against vertical movement relative to each other.

An interlocking tile includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and marginal faces disposed along a perimeter of the top surface. The tile also includes at least one male coupler disposed on a first marginal face and at least one female coupler extending from the bottom surface and disposed on a second marginal face. The at least one female coupler includes an arm, the arm comprising a first notch for engaging with a corresponding male coupler of an adjacent tile at a first position, and a second notch for engaging with the corresponding male coupler of the adjacent tile at a second position.

A plastic patio paver block comprises a top panel, a sidewall depending downwardly from a periphery of the top panel, a plurality of internal support members that depend downwardly from an inner face of the top panel and that are spaced inwardly from the sidewall, a plurality of drainage openings provided in the top panel, and a granular UV resistant material embedded into an upwardly facing plastic face of the top panel, wherein a portion of the granular UV resistant material is partially embedded in the upwardly facing plastic face.

A kit including a plurality of interior paving blocks and a plurality of edge paving blocks.

A plastic multipurpose component that is suitable as a building block and is filled with filling bodies is used to form a sheet-like assembly from a plurality of components. The multipurpose component has double-walled outer frame parts (2) with an outer frame wall, an inner frame wall and a tread surface connecting them, at least one coupling device (6, 8) for connecting two adjacent components being provided on each of the outer lateral surfaces thereof. Where appropriate inner walls (4) divide the interior of the outer frame (2) formed by outer frame parts into a pattern of cellular lead-throughs (6). Inner bottom support frames (11), and where appropriate, bottom transverse struts on the double-walled outer frame and inner frame serve for stabilizing and supporting at least one filling body introduced in the plastic multipurpose part.
