Aqua-Loc Permeable Interlocking Concrete Paver System
Willow Creek's Aqua-Loc paver system can create usable spaces that previously were unsuitable for paving especially on urban commercial sites subject to new federal Clean Water Act storm water regulations. The Aqua-Loc system permits storm water to drain through voids between the pavers into subsurface detention areas, where it's directed through a series of natural filtration processes before gradually exiting the system. By creating subsurface detaining and filtration areas, the need for space-wasting detention ponds is dramatically reduced or even eliminated. Also, because of their flexible surface, Aqua Loc permeable pavers tolerate movement from freeze/thaw cycles without damage, making them especially well suited to harsh Northem climates.
