Orbost Path

Jul 9, 2026Footpath, General, Permcon

Our new Permcon permeable path provides a safe, durable, and sustainable walkway for students, staff, and visitors.

Constructed using Permcon porous paving technology, the path allows rainwater to pass through the surface and naturally infiltrate into the ground, helping reduce runoff and improve drainage. This environmentally friendly permeable paving solution blends seamlessly with the school grounds while creating a practical, low-maintenance outdoor space.

 

Project Considerations Before Specification

Before installing a Permeable Footpath, site conditions should be assessed to confirm suitability and expected performance outcomes. This helps ensure the system is matched correctly to environmental and structural requirements.

Key considerations include:

  • Soil type and infiltration capacity
  • Local rainfall intensity and storm patterns
  • Sub-base design and drainage planning
  • Expected pedestrian and service load conditions
  • Surrounding infrastructure constraints

Next Steps: Planning To Specification

A Permeable Footpath provides a practical approach to managing stormwater while supporting durable, functional urban surfaces. It is suited to councils, developers, architects, and contractors working on infrastructure, public realm upgrades, and new urban developments.
