PERMCON SOLUTIONS
WHAT IS PERMCON
PERMEABLE CONCRETE?
This makes it ideal for areas where stormwater management, land-use efficiency and environmental performance are important.
How It Works
The open structure of Permcon allows rainwater to:
- Soak through the concrete, reducing surface runoff.
- Filter out pollutants before water enters waterways.
- Recharge groundwater naturally – mimicking undeveloped land.
This reduces the need for stormwater pits, tanks or rain gardens – and adds flexibility in site design.
Properties
- Infiltration 8,000 – 10,000mm/hour.
- Compressive strength to 25MPa.
- Slip resistance P4 0v.45 – 0.54 BPN.
- Run-off coefficient 0.3.
Installer Note
Always work in consultation with a qualified engineer, architect or landscape architect to ensure compliance with:
- Local council rules.
- Regulatory requirements.
- Site-specific design conditions.
Important: Only trained and accredited installers should carry out installation of the Permcon system.

Permcon CarbonLow – Permeable Concrete Made for New Zealand
At Permeable Concrete NZ, we look after the whole job – from the first site visit right through to the finished surface.
Our team designs and installs Permcon CarbonLow permeable concrete for driveways, car parks, footpaths, and landscaped areas across the country.
Every pour is planned for the site – how it drains, how it’s used, and how to make it last.
This concrete lets rain soak back into the ground instead of running off into drains, cutting down flooding and erosion while helping recharge local groundwater.
It’s a practical way to deal with water and a smarter option for homes, businesses, and public spaces.
We’re a New Zealand business with hands-on experience and local knowledge, backed by years of proven results from our partners at Australian Permeable Concrete.
Our aim is simple – build strong, tidy surfaces that hold up over time and make every property more sustainable.
