Description of the pavement ECOCRETO®.
 
The permeable concrete ECOCRETO® is the first concrete 100% permeable, ecological and of high resistance, developed to use it in the construction of pavements and floors of all type in order to that these are permeable that are not deformed and allow that the rain water infiltrates freely to the underground, by means of a simple constructive system, helping this way to the recharge of the aquifer mantels of the cities and providing other advantages that the common pavements don't have.
 
 
Main characteristics.
 
The material is a very similar to hydraulic concrete but manufactured without sand, which is substituted by the additive ECOCRETO® that increases their resistance to harden. The result of the mixture is a very malleable product, half liquid, with partial sinking zero, easy to use and to strain, with very high resistance to the compression (more than 250 Kg/cm2 on the average) and very good resistance to the flexion (more than 40 Kg/cm2 on the average), of very porous and pleasant aspect, to obtain a plane surface, very comfortable to walk along it.
 
 
Among the main advantages of use they are the following:
 
  • All the surfaces made with ECOCRETO® are 100% permeable.
  • The puddles disappear immediately, since the material can contain water in its interior while this infiltrates in the underground, that allow to reduce or eliminate the pluvial drainages.
  • It eliminates the aquaplane of the tires of the cars.
  • It is compatible with other materials used for pavements with the purpose of that permeable surfaces are possible when combining with these floors.
  • It doesn't require of specialized manpower, neither of sophisticated machinery for their installation.
  • The surface is nonskid, but plane and less noisy that other pavements.
  • It acquires their resistance characteristics in 72 hours.
  • It can make in several colors and with different stone types.
  • Their base and constructive system is more cheaper than the traditional ones for this reason the final cost is not more expensive than other pavements.
  • You can manufacture directly in work by means of the use of spinning tops or shaker machine for concrete or the mixture is hired in mixer plants of concrete.
  • It can settle by hand by means of the traditional method of having strained, you can apply with a finisher machine for asphalt pavements, you should get to put 1,500 m2 for day.
  • Can have several presentations: in base cement (gray or white), or base resins, depending on the measure attaché and in several colors using colorings for cement, what allows to make signals in the pavements using the own color of the ECOCRETO®.
  • Their use diminish the investment in drainages until in 40% for the handling of pluvial waters.
  • It is a product that not pollutant that helps to improve the ecology of the cities.
  • It is a clean product in their application that isn't producing gravel neither garbage.
