info@geo-fix.org.uk House showcases systems from Jackon
An impressive new house in Devon highlights the benefits of Jackon’s Jackodur Atlas insulated concrete raft system and Thermomur ICF blocks for internal and external walls. Used together, these systems enable more rapid construction and in this project produced
an insulated slab with a u-value of 0.15 and external walls with a u-value of 0.15. On some projects use of the Jackon systems enables even lower u- values to be achieved. Laing Bespoke Homes developed the property and were amazed by both the ease of use of the Jackon systems and the very high energy efficiency of the completed building.

New developments with Permeable Paving and SuDS
T
he trade association Interpave has published a new edition of ‘Understanding Permeable Paving and SuDS’, an essential
introductory guide to all aspects of concrete block permeable paving for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) – and much more. This compre- hensive guide explores the latest innovations for new and retrofit paving, and potential with wider benefits for the urban environment. Concrete block permeable paving is uniquely
placed as an essential, multifunctional SuDS technique, providing an inherent drainage system that requires no additional land take for water storage. It combines proven engineering design solutions with water management replicating nature near the surface. Permeable paving can be used for direct infiltration of attenuated, treated water to the ground or conveyance to other SuDS or sewers. It should also cost less than conventional paving and piped drainage to install and maintain, as the guide demonstrates. The new edition then explains how to use straightforward flow controls to maximise storage and other capabilities of permeable paving, offering further cost savings. And permeable paving is also very effective at

removing pollution from surface water runoff, notably vehicle pollutants, identified in recent research as particularly harmful to our rivers. In fact, permeable paving provides a gradual supply of clean, treated water as an asset, supporting landscape (including trees), biodiver- sity, water harvesting and safe open SuDS features downstream. But the wider benefits of concrete block permeable paving are also discussed in the guide. It offers ‘cool pavements’ helping to reduce the urban heat island effect, making our cities more comfortable in summer, with evaporation of rainwater from the surface and within the paving. This enhances the already high albedo – or heat reflectance – offered by concrete block or flag paving generally. One particular innovation covered in the
latest edition of the guide is set to play a major role in the post-pandemic public realm. Retrofitting concrete block permeable paving as an overlay to existing streets offers a low-intervention technique to transform the public realm in response to the raft of recent active travel and open space initiatives.
