Pavement Cells
Pavement cells are an essential component for modern roadway infrastructure. They are a specialized type of permeable pavement, which have an interconnected system of cells with a permeable surface below. This system allows for rainwater to be stored in the cells, then slowly released into the surrounding soil. Pavement cells are beneficial from an ecological standpoint, as they help to reduce runoff, which can lead to flooding, soil erosion, and other negative environmental impacts. Additionally, pavement cells help to reduce air and water pollution, as the runoff is naturally filtered and does not carry pollutants into the nearby environment. From an economic standpoint, pavement cells help to reduce maintenance costs associated with roadways, as they require less frequent repairs due to the porous surface. Finally, pavement cells can help to improve safety, as they tend to drain water quicker and more thoroughly, thus reducing the risk of hydroplaning and other hazards.
