The Bio-Aquifer Storm System
Flexible,
segmental paver systems are a desirable pavement choice, especially
when 20-year, 30-year, or 50-year life cycle costs are used to evaluate
proper pavement selections for site development.* The Bio-Aquifer Storm
System (BASS) expands the base design and integrates specifically
designed pavers in an engineered system that will allow for collection
of stormwater runoff and support heavy axle loads for roadways and
parking lots. In addition, due to the types of aggregate used, a
natural filtration process will occur and pollutants that are removed
from the runoff will be broken down by bacteria contained in the
aggregates.
