BAGATTINI Drainage Pavements

BAGATTINI drainage pavements, permeability tested and certified

BAGATTINI has been manufacturing outdoor drainage paving for more than four decades.

Products in Drenopav’s Draining or Filtering lines have permeable capacity tested and verified based on a series of permeability tests conducted in the laboratory.

Compared with other drainage solutions, they allow rainwater infiltration into the subsoil and compliance with CAM permeability requirements and the principle of hydraulic invariance.

All BAGATTINI drainage pavements have a 100% permeability certificate: tests conducted in the laboratory show that the solutions proposed by BAGATTINI can drain all the rain.

BAGATTINI draining self-locking paving slabs are able to meet every requirement, both in terms of load resistance and the percentage of green or surface uniformity required for pedestrian and bicycle paths.

What are the benefits of filter flooring?

Permeable pavements help restore a natural hydrologic balance and reduce runoff volume by trapping and slowly releasing precipitation into the ground instead of allowing it to runoff into storm drains and receiving waters as effluent.

Permeable pavement can reduce the concentration of some pollutants either physically (by trapping them in the pavement or soil), chemically (bacteria and other microbes can break down and use some pollutants), or biologically (plants growing between some types of BAGGAGE pavements can trap and store pollutants).

By slowing down the process, permeable pavements can cool the temperature of the urban environment, reducing the stress and impact on the environment of waterways or lakes.

By controlling runoff at the source, permeable pavement can also reduce the need for or required size of storage systems such as lamination ponds, expansion basins, and dispersal ditches.

ENVIRONMENTAL WELL-BEING

  • Summer ambient heat mitigation effect
  • Makes rainwater available for plant maintenance

IMPROVED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

  • Groundwater maintenance
  • Ensures the improvement of the environment in relation to the water cycle
  • Reduces runoff to streams (resulting in less susceptibility of streams to flood phenomena);

LOWER COSTS OF MANAGING DRAINAGE NETWORKS

  • Reduces the conveyance of dirt and foliage into storm drains (which cause flooding);
  • Reduces sewer overloads, particularly during storm events;
  • It reduces the load at treatment stations where they convey sewage systems, resulting in an increase in their performance.

COMFORT AND SAFETY FOR PEOPLE

  • Virtual absence of puddles
  • Road Safety (no aquaplaning)

FILTRATION OF SURFACE POLLUTANTS AND PROTECTION OF GROUNDWATER

Floors with increased spacers

MVB has developed specific screeds with oversized spacers that, in addition to their drainage property, also retain excellent self-blocking and load-bearing capacity. These concrete screeds are made with oversized spacer profiles so that once laid, they create wide joints between them that can drain rainwater.

Obviously, the drainage capacity increases as the ratio of joint surface area to slab surface area increases.

With this type of paving, it is good to carefully consider the shape of the element to be used, which, if not specially designed, can compromise the bonding characteristic inherent in self-locking paving stones.

Porous pavers

Modular elements made of porous filtering concrete. The concrete constituting the screed is made from a specific mixture, which has a pre-determined porosity. As a consequence of this production process, the entire pavement becomes draining, while remaining completely self-blocking and, most importantly, maintaining a continuous surface.

Grid pavers

Grating elements are perforated plates, usually square or rectangular, ranging in size from 20 to 50 cm and in thickness from 8 to 11 cm.

Their draining capacity increases in proportion to two factors:

  • Value of the void/full ratio of the pavement element
  • void filling material
