The Impact of AquiPor Concrete
To demonstrate the impact AquiPor’s concrete can have on managing stormwater in our communities, we modeled how much stormwater runoff AquiPor can save by simply replacing one-mile of traditional sidewalk infrastructure in a city that gets 15.5 inches of rain per year. By paving just 1 mile of city sidewalks with AquiPor concrete, we estimate that approximately 2 Million Gallons of stormwater can be returned to the natural water cycle over the course of a year*.Â
This savings represents water that doesn’t need to be treated at wastewater plants, nor imported from hundreds of miles away as is the case in the Western U.S. Instead, AquiPor’s concrete surfaces can naturally capture and manage stormwater, representing economic savings for every gallon of stormwater that naturally returns to the water-cycle.


*Model was produced internally and is based on the assumption that AquDrain sidewalks would be placed on both sides of a neighborhood street for a half mile in length. Using property lots we’ve estimated the total surface area that would drain rainwater into the AquiDrain sidewalk system. A single lot is expected to be 100 feet in length and include the following surface areas:

Street (half its width): 100’ x 12’ = 1,200 ft2
Sidewalk (one side of the street): 100’ x 4’ = 400 ft2
Driveway: 400ft2
House roof and patios: 3000 ft2

Therefore, this model project would consist of 52 total lots (5,280 ft / 100 ft), with each lot containing 5,000 ft2 of surface area that would drain rainwater into the sidewalks system. Additionally, we estimated that 15% of rainwater on this surface area would travel along the gutters into the city’s water drainage system and flow to water treatment plants. The remaining 85% would be returned to the ground because of the installation of our technology. Based on these assumptions and using the annual rainfall rate of 15.5 inches of rain per year, AquiPor would return an estimated 5,490 ft3 (or 41,068 gallons) of water per lot into the ground. Total annual water savings would be 285,480 ft3 (or 2,135,536 gallons).Â


Stronger Concrete, Lower CO2 Footprint
AquiPor’s porous concrete technology is a near net-zero material that is sourced from industry byproducts. Because of its chemical profile, testing has shown that it can improve the hydration and strength profile of concrete.* This suggests that concrete manufacturers can lower the amount of portland cement in their concrete without sacrificing strength. Less cement means a lower CO2 footprint, giving end-users a greener concrete alternative with AquiPor.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION INTO CURRENT MANUFACTURING
AquiPor's technology integrates seamlessly and efficiently into standard concrete production workflows. AquiPor transforms everyday concrete into Infrastructure-Grade Porous concrete—whether for pour-in-place, precast, or dry-cast paver production enabling on-site stormwater management, flood control, and groundwater recharge.
