Uni Rapid Clean™ System
The new Uni Rapid Clean System address permeable interlocking concrete pavers Achilles' heel when permeable pavements are not properly maintained and answers the question - How can I quickly and easily clean my Uni permeable pavements?
A novel and practical solution is exactly what the new Uni Rapid Clean System provides. Specially designed, patented openings called 'cupules' allow fast cleaning with standard street sweeping equipment.
Benchmarks:
- Infiltration rate identical to original UNI Eco-Stone®
- Full ADA compliance (< 1/2" gaps)
- L-shape advanced interlock
- Easily identifiable as a permeable interlocking paver
- Tested 'rapid clean' features
- Research at University of Guelph accompanied by full scale tests in Ayr
