Stormwater enters trough a permeable pavement/road or through a street gully in the cavities of the Bufferblocks, after which the water infiltrates into the soil or is redirected. The Bufferblocks have a water storage capacity of 266 to 532 liters per square meter and can resist heavy traffic loads. The Bufferblocks are designed to be inspected and cleaned by commonly used sewer inspection equipment.
