Grasscrete has
been a Bomanite System for over 20 years with
installations throughout North America in all types of climates. Achieved
through the use of two different techniques and three different tools known as
"formers," Grasscrete is void structured concrete--a
pervious pavement system that does not rely on fine aggregate
concrete. Grasscrete can be cast using proven mix designs with
no potential for freeze thaw or clogging issues. It can be used as an exposed
utilitarian product for functional applications or as a concealed system with
vegetation such as grass or
native ground cover installed over the concrete.
Grasscrete helps LEED® accredited professionals in accruing
points toward a LEED certification of a particular building or project.
The selection of a Bomanite Pervious Concrete System is one of the
easiest ways to achieve points in the reduction of heat island effect,
management of storm water runoff, use of recycled content
incorporated in the application
process, as well as in the concrete and sub-base, and satisfies the long life
span and low-maintenance requirements. Bomanite Pervious
Concrete Systems are highly sustainable with a low life cycle cost and have the
ability to be recycled and used in a future project
Our flagship system, Grasscrete, has been utilized since 1982
throughout the United States with millions of square feet installed to
date. The latest developments with the Bomanite include
bio-degradable formers or molds, as well as improved application techniques and
processes allowing for the construction of exposed surfaces.
