Trusted Permeable Paving Solutions
Virtus Concrete delivers permeable paving systems designed to combine durability, functionality and effective water management. Our solutions help reduce surface runoff by allowing water to pass through the paved surface and into the ground or drainage system.
Our range includes patented permeable concrete, plain or coloured finishes, permeable resin-bound stone, gravel grids and permeable paver installation. Each solution can be selected according to the site’s requirements, appearance and intended use.
From residential driveways and pathways to commercial carparks and civil roads, we provide permeable surfaces designed for long-term performance.

Permeable Surfaces with Performance and Purpose
Permeable paving provides a practical way to manage water at the surface while maintaining a durable, usable finish. By allowing water to move through the surface, these systems can help reduce runoff and support more effective stormwater management.
Virtus Concrete provides permeable options for driveways, paths, carparks and roads, with solutions selected around the project’s application, appearance and performance requirements.
1. Initial Consultation & Project Requirements
We start by understanding your project, intended use, site conditions and preferred finish. Whether you need permeable concrete for a driveway, pathway, carpark or road, we discuss your requirements and identify the most suitable solution for your application.
2. Site Assessment & Solution Design
We assess the site, existing surfaces, levels and drainage requirements to determine the appropriate permeable system. Based on the project, we can recommend options such as permeable concrete, resin-bound stone, gravel grids or permeable pavers.
3. Preparation & Installation
Once the solution is confirmed, our team prepares the area and installs the required base and surface system. We focus on correct preparation, levels, drainage and finishing to ensure the permeable surface performs as intended.
4. Project Completion & Final Checks
After installation, we complete the required finishing and inspect the completed surface to ensure the project meets the agreed requirements. We leave you with a durable, functional and visually appealing permeable solution designed for long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Question
What are permeable concrete solutions?
They are hard surfaces that let rainwater pass through rather than run off. At Virtus Concrete, permeable solutions encompass permeable concrete, permeable resin-bound stone, gravel grids and permeable pavers. We help you identify the most ideal solution for your project.
What is the functioning of permeable concrete?
It is made up of large stone aggregates that are bound with a thin film of cement and may contain very little or no sand. This leaves spaces or holes throughout the slab. Rainwater passes through these holes and saturates the soil via a gravel base.
What are the advantages of permeable concrete?
It eliminates puddles and stormwater runoffs. Soil and pollutants are filtered and trapped before reaching drainage systems and waterways, therefore improving water quality. It can be an effective measure in achieving the council’s Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) requirements.
Where can permeable concrete be installed?
It can be installed on pathways, driveways, patios, car parks, courtyards, and other low-speed local roads. It is recommended in areas where water pools.
Is permeable concrete suitable for driveways and car parks?
It is especially suitable for these applications. The base layer is critical for both driveways and car parks. The base layer should be designed to support the loads imposed by vehicles using the surface; therefore, the area should be assessed prior to any work being undertaken.
How is permeable concrete different from standard concrete?
For standard concrete, the water runs off the surface into pit and pipe drains. In permeable concrete, the water runs down through the surface and is captured in a layer of stones. Also, permeable concrete has a more open and rougher surface than standard concrete.
Is maintenance required for permeable concrete?
There is very little maintenance required for permeable concrete. Of course, dirt and sand can block the holes, but that can be taken care of with good sweeping and maybe vacuuming or pressure washing every once in a while.
Is permeable concrete able to lessen flooding?
Yes, permeable concrete can aid in addressing small-scale flooding challenges. Its primary work is to help catch the water where it falls and let it pass to the ground, thereby preventing the water from spilling into the drainage systems and helping to reduce the quantity of water drained into the streets. It may be of very little help with large-scale flooding, but it can help to mitigate the issue of water pooling and runoff around your property.
What is the price range for permeable concrete?
Since permeable concrete takes more material to produce, it is a little more expensive than standard concrete; however, since a permeable system requires fewer drainage pits and pipes, it can actually be cheaper than standard systems. Since the cost varies case by case, a quote is given for each individual project.
What is the expected life of a permeable surface?
As long as it is properly installed and maintained, permeable surfaces can last for at least 25 years. Clogging the holes can cause the surface to wear out faster, so it should be regularly cleaned.
