On the parking lot flood control, are there any erosion issues with all of that water draining off like that? On a side note, places like Mexico City could use something like this for their city since with the place being ceiled over it stops the water from getting to the underground lake that Mexico City was built upon, which is one of the reasons they are having so many problems with their foundation down there. Taking all of that water out of the underground reservoirs/lake without putting any of it back is causing voids to be created. Without the support of that water, the ground will subside and even collapse. Don’t know if they will ever get that problem solved before it is too late to save the city from major damage.

if I recall correctly, the parking lot material has to be laid on a very specific foundation of layers of clay, sand and gravel, to ensure that it doesn't erode away underneath and the ground is able to absorb the water that is being poured onto it. That channels the water out and away to the wider area where it just becomes part of the water-table. I presume - though they didn't mention this in the info I have seen - that they also ensure that the foundation and the asphalt is laid on a slight camber, highest in the middle and sloping down fractionally towards the edges, so that the runoff will happen in a safe direction. Most roads are built on a camber like that anyhow, so they should be able to be relatively easily converted to this new material.

@@flyboy38a What was missed in the video clip and Bethyngalw's answer is the permeable concrete is also structurally weaker. Using it on a parking lot it will break down fairly rapidly instead of a 25 to 50 year life span of regular concrete. These mixes have less actual concrete than normal so are naturally weakened. If you were to set beeswax rods in a grid where you are going to put the concrete then pour regular concrete, with the base built for drainage, the heat of the curing process will melt the beeswax leaving drainage holes through without the major structural loss. beeswax being 100% natural is not going to pollute anything.

StormMeister hands down the best most logical one for homes. I wonder if they have something for Garages and regular Windows.

Your dam right

even in some countries like Malaysia and recently in Australia, the weather forecast Warns"of "heavy rains of above 300mm" in the coming days/weeks and such rain pattern can be predicted or forecast in some months.. so installing such structures BEFORE the Heavy rain seasons, would be ideal..

That top mix product can also fix issues with group water we have, I also kinda filters impurities. And damn easy can used to quickly store water in dry rural area where rains is less.

I'd really like to know how well that absorbent parking lot can handle a cold snap after it absorbs a lot of water

The last one seems like a good little swimming pool you can stack away:)

I think the permeable concrete is a pretty solid idea, but the biggest issue that I can think of is that the concrete may crack easier than traditional concrete if water freezes inside the concrete

The hesco blocks, plastic barriers, absorbent bags, all of those are useful. The hesco blocks will absolutely protect your entire house, and the other two can divert water in a lesser flooding event.

Everyone in Florida needs this

In most developing or otherwise poor country, people often just use sandbags or water bags to kept their ceiling intact, in some extreme cases, uses it as a barrier to block water, but it is rare as flooding usually reaches up to 2 meters or more.

What is needed to kept plants from growing through the topmix pavement? I mean they can even push through normal road surfaces. What would keep the from pushing through porous surfaces that get tham acces of water and nutrients? 8:37 Why not attach some straps at the end that get rolled up. You then just grab the straps and walk along making the barrier unroll itself. So you don't have to unroll this being hunched over.

Interesting, but I think some of them wouldn't stand up well when real world tested and others would have short fail times. The door block methods may be good for some structures, but most homes aren't built to be submerged. Water will come through the walls. A lot slower yes, so if the flooding is short, then okay. If it goes one for a while though, it'll still get through eventually. Also, that pavement one that allows vast quantities of water to flow through it seems like a terrible idea. Sure, it may help in minor flooding conditions, but water under roads always spells disaster. Has the company done extensive testing to see how allowing so much water through will affect sink hole formations? All that water flowing through is going into the ground underneath and fast flowing water takes soil with it. That's how bridges fail in floods. It's like paying to someday have cars fall through the pavement in your parking lot.

Presumably, the houses themselves are built to resist water ingress, but the doors aren't. Something I could easily see happening on a known flood plain Permeable pavement isn't really a means of avoiding flood damage directly. It's more to reduce the risk of floods in general by increasing the local storage of rainwater (Instead of funneling it all immediately into storm drains). What they don't mention is the concrete is poured over a similarly permeable foundation that eventually leads to catchment ponds or drains. It's a pretty clever idea, but the big problem is that if the concrete freezes while holding water, it's wrecked.

@@watchm4ker I honestly don't think they change construction methods for different flood zones. They typically drop the land values and such so poor people tend to buy in those areas. It's like how in tornado and hurricane zones they still build houses that have overhanging roofs that the wind takes ahold of to rip the house open like a tin can. I guess they do anchor them to the foundation, but that's really only so good. I thought about an underlayment for the pavement, but you end up in the same place as before. Either it's directly under the pavement and you end up with pooling because it has to funnel the water to a drain anyways, or it's down a ways to give more capacity, but then you end up with the dirt between the cement and the pavement being displaced and you just end up with a shallower sinkhole. In any event, multiple layers would make the cost extraordinarily higher than the regular pavement method, which would greatly reduce it's popularity. Especially as it would only help to a certain extent. Even if the ansorbamcy rate is increased by quite a bit, the ground and even drain systems have limits as to how much they can absorb, so when the water reaches a certain level, and probably not that high, it will simply fail to keep absorbing. It's an interesting idea, but has some major fundamental challenges and I really don't trust it much past it's fancy display of dumping a bunch of water on a single spot.

@@watchm4ker I understand the benefit. I am just doubting they have really looked into soil movement. Any water flowing in any great amount under roads will remove soil and create a sink hole. It's a simple fact. Unless they are applying pavement several feet thick, they will either have to rely on soil or some hard surface, which will ultimately limit it's intake of water.
