01.
Identification
The solution offers the possibility of turning inaccessible roofs into attractive, modern and safe areas for recreation and fun. This transformation is possible thanks to combining Hydromedia pervious concrete technology and Nidaroof water storage capacity membrane. Thanks to this solution, investors can save on construction costs due to the downsizing of the rainfall drainage system. The habitants gain durable and safe areas to socialize, meet and relax. Cities reduce risks of peak rainfall floods and reduce the urban heat island effect.
