Permavoid has been recognised by a number of organisations for its ability to support the creation of green urbanisation in our cities. This includes winning Green Building Product of the Year 2020 award in the MENA region. We have supplied Permavoid to a number of prestigious projects in the region such as Dubai Expo 2020, National Bank of Oman and Passivhaus-Baytna Sustainable Villa in Qatar.
Permavoid is our award-winning water management solution, designed to provide shallow water storage for attenuation, detention or soakaway/infiltration applications.
Shallower attenuation, detention or soakaway /infiltration structures are often necessary in the Middle East because the ground at greater depths can present construction challenges. This could be the presence of chemicals or contamination left over from previous land use, underground watercourses or – more commonly in this region – an unusually high water table. A shallow approach is preferable because it does not rely on expensive pumping equipment and also has a reduced environmental impact due to the reduced excavation and work that needs to take place on site, making it the ideal green infrastructure solution.
