Pervious Concrete
BDR NatureCrete
BDR NatureCrete is a low-fines concrete solution designed to recharge the groundwater table. Water does not flow over this concrete; instead, it percolates back into the ground due to its pervious design, thereby reducing surface runoff and flooding. A high cement paste content combined with an interlocking aggregate pattern ensures a long service life of the pavement.
