Turning Pavement into a Stormwater Solution: The AquiPor Innovation
Urban flooding, aging infrastructure, and polluted waterways are symptoms of a broken stormwater system — one that wasn't built for the climate challenges cities face today.
Urban flooding, aging infrastructure, and polluted waterways are symptoms of a broken stormwater system—one that wasn’t built for the climate challenges cities face today. At AquiPor, we’re changing that.
Every year in the U.S., more than 10 trillion gallons of polluted stormwater runoff flood into clean waterways. With urban areas expanding and impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt covering the landscape, rainwater has nowhere to go. It overwhelms drainage systems, picks up pollutants, and flows directly into rivers, streams, and oceans—harming ecosystems and public health in the process.
We believe the ground beneath our feet should be part of the solution.
Our Technology: Concrete That Does More Than Just Pave
AquiPor’s next-generation porous concrete is engineered to manage stormwater where it falls. Unlike traditional paving materials, our concrete allows water to flow through it—filtering out harmful pollutants and helping to reduce runoff at the source.
This isn't just about permeability. It’s about performance. Our material filters stormwater and supports natural aquifer recharge, helping cities manage water locally and more sustainably.
On top of that, we’re tackling the climate impact of infrastructure. Our concrete is produced with a low-carbon, partial net-zero aggregate, reducing the CO₂ footprint typically associated with concrete manufacturing.
A Distributed Approach to Water Management
In addition to our surface technology, we’ve developed a patented distributed water system that reinfiltrates filtered water safely back into the ground. This decentralized approach alleviates pressure on municipal systems, reduces flood risk, and restores the natural water cycle in urban environments.
Why It Matters
Cities can no longer afford to treat rainwater as waste. With increasingly extreme weather, infrastructure must evolve. By integrating smart, sustainable stormwater solutions into everyday urban surfaces, we’re helping build climate-resilient cities—street by street, block by block.
