@@evaahh9584 It's already been tested, both freezing and burning. Ice doesn't flow, so it doesn't move into free space, it expands, pushing whatever material is containing the water apart - breaking the material apart, leaving loose rubble.

The water doesnt tend to stay in the road layer. That's kinda the whole point =) It's going to flow into the substrate before it gets a chance to freeze.

Seal round the front door with silicone, then nail a blanket across. Any water that gets through will be filtered by the blanket, so silt will not enter. It should seal the blanket. Get into the house through a window.

On the parking lot flood control, are there any erosion issues with all of that water draining off like that? On a side note, places like Mexico City could use something like this for their city since with the place being ceiled over it stops the water from getting to the underground lake that Mexico City was built upon, which is one of the reasons they are having so many problems with their foundation down there. Taking all of that water out of the underground reservoirs/lake without putting any of it back is causing voids to be created. Without the support of that water, the ground will subside and even collapse. Don’t know if they will ever get that problem solved before it is too late to save the city from major damage.

@@Noone-vv9yb of course the earth will die, we’re just speeding it up a little

[@bethyngalw]

if I recall correctly, the parking lot material has to be laid on a very specific foundation of layers of clay, sand and gravel, to ensure that it doesn't erode away underneath and the ground is able to absorb the water that is being poured onto it. That channels the water out and away to the wider area where it just becomes part of the water-table. I presume - though they didn't mention this in the info I have seen - that they also ensure that the foundation and the asphalt is laid on a slight camber, highest in the middle and sloping down fractionally towards the edges, so that the runoff will happen in a safe direction. Most roads are built on a camber like that anyhow, so they should be able to be relatively easily converted to this new material.

[@flyboy38a]

@@bethyngalw Thanks for the update.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@flyboy38a What was missed in the video clip and Bethyngalw's answer is the permeable concrete is also structurally weaker. Using it on a parking lot it will break down fairly rapidly instead of a 25 to 50 year life span of regular concrete. These mixes have less actual concrete than normal so are naturally weakened. If you were to set beeswax rods in a grid where you are going to put the concrete then pour regular concrete, with the base built for drainage, the heat of the curing process will melt the beeswax leaving drainage holes through without the major structural loss. beeswax being 100% natural is not going to pollute anything.

[@nck4888]

[@akoll6138]

I think the permeable concrete is a pretty solid idea, but the biggest issue that I can think of is that the concrete may crack easier than traditional concrete if water freezes inside the concrete

[@BOOTYMANTHAGOAT]

It's probably better in places like Florida where it doesn't usually get cold enough to freeze.

[@ToyotaTrucks9]

The hesco blocks, plastic barriers, absorbent bags, all of those are useful. The hesco blocks will absolutely protect your entire house, and the other two can divert water in a lesser flooding event.

even in some countries like Malaysia and recently in Australia, the weather forecast Warns"of "heavy rains of above 300mm" in the coming days/weeks and such rain pattern can be predicted or forecast in some months.. so installing such structures BEFORE the Heavy rain seasons, would be ideal..

[@Nicomancer001]

All that prep for the "Car Saran Wrap" when they could've just driven out of the area. And before anyone else says "what if they don't have enough gas to get out of there?', you should always have enough gas to have a car in the first place. Leaving it empty defeats the entire purpose of having a vehicle.

Price is most likely one of them, and people not taking thing seriously until they happen is another big one.
