Services
Permeable Pavers
Our permeable interlocking concrete pavers manage stormwater runoff through patented designs that allow 100% surface infiltration. Meeting EPA BMP criteria, they reduce detention infrastructure needs while maintaining durability under vehicular traffic. Ideal for commercial plazas, municipal projects, and industrial sites requiring sustainable drainage compliance.
Heavy-Duty Pavers
Engineered for high-load environments, our UNI-Anchorlock and UNI-Optiloc pavers feature L-shaped interlocking systems that withstand port, airport, and storage yard demands. Mechanized installation reduces labor costs while maintaining structural integrity under repeated heavy vehicle traffic.
Design Resources
We provide comprehensive design manuals, case studies, and software tools to assist professionals in creating code-compliant installations. Resources cover infiltration rate calculations, ADA accessibility standards, and freeze-thaw resilience strategies for both permeable and traditional applications.
Maintenance Solutions
Our maintenance protocols ensure long-term performance through regenerative air vacuuming and sediment management. The UNI Rapid Clean System maintains infiltration rates by removing surface debris without disturbing aggregate bases, extending pavement lifespan while minimizing downtime.
Educational Seminars
We offer CEU-qualified workshops covering permeable pavement design, stormwater compliance, and installation best practices. These sessions combine technical expertise with real-world case studies to help professionals meet evolving environmental regulations and sustainability targets.
Questions
How long do UNI concrete pavers last?
UNI pavers have a 50-year design life based on field performance, with European installations exceeding 50 years.
Can permeable pavers handle freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes, our permeable systems are designed to withstand freeze-thaw conditions through aggregate base expansion spaces.
Are UNI pavers ADA compliant?
All permeable pavers meet ADA requirements for firm, stable surfaces, with Eco-Priora offering optimized accessibility features.
How do permeable pavers compare in cost to asphalt?
While initial costs may be higher, permeable systems reduce long-term expenses by eliminating detention infrastructure and lowering maintenance needs.
Can permeable pavers be snow plowed?
Yes, our permeable installations withstand snow plowing and demonstrate faster ice melt due to surface infiltration.
How are infiltration rates maintained?
Annual vacuum sweeping removes surface sediment, preserving infiltration rates. Studies show regenerative air sweepers restore 100% functionality.
