Programme Highlights
The functioning of modern day road requires an intricate
Drainage and Sewer Systems,. Architects and Engineers have been seeking
solutions to better manage precipitation and improve our storm water management
system by reducing runoff, reducing flooding and reducing pollution.
Structural soil was created in the late 70’s to mimic
nature as a hopeful for the job. Many products are invented for the purpose of
storing stormwater for reuse, recycle, and recharging the ground water table;
suspended pavement system for sustainable planting, growing big trees, and to
achieve the removal of heavy metals and contaminates in our soil and air.
A look at some of these products on the market in their use
and application and how our environment can be benefited from designing and
building an underground bioretention system by employing this natural method in
managing precipitation.
