Aqua-Bric PERMEABLE PAVERS Essential Pavers for Plazas, Walkways, Entrances and Parking Lots
Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Permeable Pavers PERMEABLE PAVING IS A DESIGNED APPLICATION TO MANAGE STORM WATER RUN-OFF FROM PAVED AREAS The Belden Brick Company presents pedestrian-friendly storm water management fired clay permeable pavers called Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Permeable Pavers. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric is the only clay permeable paver currently on the market that can be used for machine installation. The smooth, flat surface created using Belden Brick Aqua-Bric meets ADA standards and is a superior choice for areas with high foot traffic. It is Ideal for plazas, walkways, entrances and parking lots and qualifies for additional LEED Certification Categories. EXTRUDED Use of Belden Brick fired clay pavers as the wearing surface provides aesthetic quality, strength, and durability. They are cost effective, easily installed, and low maintenance. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Permeable Pavers can also be a strategic component of sustainable design practices for a project based on its permanent color and solar reflectance index. Advantages of Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Permeable Pavers They can be designed to handle the impact of 100-year storm and provides microbial action to break down contaminants. Temperate cross section provides for natural melting of snow and ice, thus less use of salt yielding lower costs and maintenance. Again, use of fired clay pavers in these permeable paving designs is a viable approach in attaining the desired benefits of the system. Paver units having lugs or perimeter geometries to increase pore area in the paving surface can effectively handle the worst of storm events. Typically, a fired clay paving surface having 8% - 12% void area will provide for the effects of the 100-year storm. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Pavers are packaged in a way that allow layers of units to be lifted and set mechanically. They can be hand installed or installed by machine for larger jobs to drastically reduce labor costs. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric meets or exceeds the severe weather requirements of ASTM C 902 or ASTM C 1272 depending on traffic type and loading. MOLDED Belden Brick Aqua-Bric is engineered to accept, filtrate, drain, (possibly) collect, and ex-filtrate storm water through the system components. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric is specifically designed and manufactured for permeable paving. Belden Brick Aqua-Bric is color fast, durable under the affects of freeze thaw action and easily cleaned due to their low absorption properties. 2
BIO-AQUIFER STORM SYSTEM TM BENEFITS OF OUR PAVERS: Belden Brick Aqua-Bric are available in extruded (machine setable) and molded (cannot be machine installed). Can be used to meet EPA storm water requirements. Provides ADA compliant surfaces with minimal openings to make walking more comfortable. Allows for rapid removal of storm water through void openings. Eliminates standing water for plazas and walkways without sloping. Maximizes design flexibility by enabling a wide range of creative patterns. Available in several colors for design flexibility. PERMEABLE PAVERS BEDDING CONCRETE CURB BASE SUB BASE SUB GRADE DRAINAGE PIPE Flexible, segmental paver systems are a desirable pavement choice, especially when 20-year, 30-year, or 50-year life cycle costs are used to evaluate proper pavement selections for site development. 3

Belden Aqua-Bric Simplifies maintenance in climates with ice and snow Are used as : walkways, driveways, parking lots, commercial vehicular entry ways and any number of vehicular and pedestrian uses Belden Brick Aqua-Bric pavers serve as the wearing surface for the pavement. These are brick units fired in a kiln to develop necessary strength, absorption and durability properties. HERRINGBONE RUNNING BOND 5
SUSTAINABLE ADVANTAGES Belden Brick Aqua-Bric Pavers can be a part of sustainable design for projects. In applying the principles of permeable pavements on a project, several sustainable design categories can be affected. In the case of LEED projects, permeable pavements can add credit in the categories of: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, and Materials and Resources, depending on the design strategies selected. These advantages make fired clay pavers a natural choice in permeable pavements servicing walkways, driveways and parking lots. 6
