Benefits of technology

[0015]Each block may be defined as having an upper surface, a lower surface generally parallel to and spaced apart from the upper surface, a first, second, third, and fourth side, each side having a height and connecting the upper and the lower surface. A first side may be

Problems solved by technology

Thus, it is a previously recognized problem with paving systems that stormwater runoff needs to be managed.
However, such a permeable pavement system has not been fully realized without incurring various disadvantages.
While these paver blocks, as disclosed, allow stormwater to drain down the sides of the block, they are still susceptible to one of the major drawbacks of existing permeable pavement systems: they are dependent on the aggregate interlock and ag

Abstract

Systems and methods for a permeable pavement system are described. The permeable pavement system includes blocks designed to facilitate water seepage between the blocks and to permit water storage within the blocks. The blocks may be cabled together to create paving units that facilitate installation and maintenance of the pavement system. The permeable pavement system may also be heated to a predetermined range with one of electrical energy and hydronic heating.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to and is a nationalization of international application no. PCT / US2014 / 027753 filed on Mar. 14, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 791,776, filed on Mar. 15, 2013, the entire contents of both which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates in general to the field of paving systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a modular, permeable paving system. Specifically, a preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a permeable paving system utilizing paving units made from blocks cabled together and providing fluid storage within the blocks.[0004]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005]As is known to those skilled in the art, paving systems historically create a surface impervious to rain. The water that falls on the paved surface runs off the edge of the p...
