Permavoid for Drainage, Conveyance and Capillary Irrigation showcased at the Middle East Landscape Summit

Held under the patronage of Government of Dubai and Dubai Municipality, the fifth edition of Middle East Landscape Summit took place at the Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa on 15^th and 16^th May 2017. As one of the only landscape conferences in Dubai the event focused on the region’s overall commitment to the sustainable growth of green spaces whilst outlining various innovative approaches to create green transformation.

Polypipe were proud to join this significant event as a networking sponsor and predominantly showcased Permavoid, a robust geocellular system providing drainage, conveyance and capillary irrigation system for a variety of shallow applications including podium deck, roofs and urban landscaping. Permavoid is water conservation system aimed at managing surface water at source, as close to where it falls as possible. Its high strength and integrity allows it to be designed into pavement structures, and means it is ideal for use in projects requiring shallow soakaway, attenuation or detention such as in contaminated ground and in areas with high water tables. When combined with other parts of the Permavoid range, the complete system allows for superior management and improvement of water quality.

In comparison to traditional systems, Permavoid saves on construction costs, maintenance, labour, water and energy consumption and replanting. The Permavoid system has been used in some of the major projects in the region including the National Bank of Oman and Passivhaus in Qatar.

A huge amount of interest was gained from the event which was attended by more than 200 attendees including the major developers, architects, designers, landscapers and consultants.
