NEUPAVE
Permeable Pavers
A Permeable
Eco-Friendly Beauty
As the first in Malaysia to
manufacture this new paving
technology, NeuPave is a paving
alternative to more traditional types
of hardscape flooring materials,
where water is now allowed to
permeate through the surface to
underlying soil.
An
Introduction
With more than 25 years experience in the paving industry,
you can be assured of our expertise in advising you on the
appropriate paving solutions for your home and landscaping
project. Sunway Paving Solutions Sdn Bhd manufactures
and supplies compressed concrete paving slabs, which
are prominently featured along many of the streets and
walkways throughout Malaysia. Our products are also
exported regionally to Australia, Hong Kong, China and
Singapore, leaving lasting impressions on the minds of
those who walk on it.

NeuPave
Normal concrete pavements do not allow much water to
infiltrate particularly if they are mortared in place. The flowing
water would normally hit the surface and then flow down to the
nearest drainage channel, becoming storm water runoff.
NeuPave differs vastly from the above as its hard surfacing
allows water to percolate to an underlying reservoir base.
Permeable pavement can be used instead of standard
concrete for surfacing sidewalks, driveways, parking areas and
many types of pavement surfaces. As the usual concrete is
considered to be impermeable, water that falls usually stays on
the surface and cannot flow through the surface to the soils
below, but rather runs to the lowest points to be drained away.

General
Information &
Specifications
This phenomenon is commonly found in most
cement-based products. However, the effect is
usually disappears over time due to weathering.
Typically it takes about six to twelve months to
clear the efflorescence through rain water, and
in the worst case scenario it could take about
two years.

The average infiltration rate is equal to:
All permeable paving system designs are
subjected to following criteria checking:
Slope
- Paving system slope should not exceed 1
in 20 (5%).
Traffic Volume
- Design traffic should be determined in advance,
in order to avoid using permeable pavers in heavily
trafficked roads.
Land-Use
-P
ermeable system should not be located
downstream of high sediment generating activities.
Stability
- Infiltration from the base of permeable paving
should not be undertaken where soils are
susceptible to instability.
Discharge Type
-T
he ‘no-infiltration’ method of permeable paving is
to be adopted, except in circumstances where site
soils are identified as suitable for infiltration.

Sub-base
Suitable for existing subgrade (ground) with good permeability,
System A allows all water falling onto the pavement to infiltrate down
through the constructed layers below and eventually into the subgrade.
Some retention of the water will occur temporarily in the permeable
sub-base layer allowing for initial storage before it eventually passes
through. No water is discharged into conventional drainage systems,
completely eliminating the need for pipes and gulley, and making it a
particularly economic solution.

System B – Partial Infiltration*
Used where the existing subgrade (ground) may not be capable of
absorbing all the water. A fixed amount of water is allowed to infiltrate –
which, in practice, often represents a large percentage of the rainfall.
Outlet pipes are connected to the permeable sub-base and allow the
excess water to be drained to other drainage devices, such as swales,
ponds, water courses or sewers. This is one way of achieving the
requirement for reducing the volume and rate of runoff and will most
likely remove the need for any long term storage.
System C – No Infiltration*
Where the existing subgrade (ground) permeability is poor or contains
pollutants, System C allows for the complete capture of the water. It
uses an impermeable, flexible membrane placed on top of the subgrade
level and up the sides of the permeable sub-base to effectively form
a storage tank. Outlet pipes are constructed through the impermeable
membrane to transmit the water to other drainage devices, such as
swales, ponds, watercourses or sewers. Importantly, the outlet pipes are
designed to restrict flow so that water is temporarily stored within the
pavement and discharge slowed. System C is particularly suitable for
contaminated sites, as it prevents pollutants from being washed further
down into the subgrade where they could reach groundwater.

Installation
Procedure
1. Basecourse
3. Laying The Blocks
Taking the existing sub-grade/soil
conditions and the anticipated traffic
loading into consideration, and adequate
thickness of well compacted base
course must be provided to ensure good
pavement performance. Existing bitumen
or concrete surfaces need not be removed
and can act as good sub-grade.
Paving blocks are placed side by side on
the sand bed with gaps of approximately
2mm between adjoining blocks. Fine
sand is then spread and swept into the
joints. Paving blocks can be cut to fit
edges and awkward corners.

4. Pavers Compaction
2. Sand Bedding Layer
A layer of sand should be loosely spread
and screeded to uniform thickness such
that its compacted thickness would be
approximately 30mm - 50mm. The sand
bedding should be compacted prior to
installation of the pavers.
The pavement is compacted with a
hand-guided plate vibrator until it is
firmly embedded.

Note: For permeable (fine) finishes, a gunny sack
(burlap) sheet is placed on top of the pavement
before the compaction is done.
5. Completion
Normal Paver
Water does not infiltrate but
flows sideways, becoming runoff.
NeuPave
Water permeates through the surface.
The permeable pavement is now
completed and fully functional.
