On Friday 22 October, a brand-new carpool parking lot was opened along the E17 in Kruisem by Minister of Mobility and Public Works Lydia Peeters and Mayor Joop Verzele.
The parking lot is a special project, given that it was the first time that our StadsDRAIN was installed in an official project of the Flemish Agency for Roads and Traffic.
The increase in paved surfaces prevents stormwater from penetrating the subsurface. StadsDRAIN is a revolutionary pavement that can capture and buffer large amounts of precipitation for further seepage into the subsurface. This reduces the pressure on our sewers and allows us to maintain the ever-decreasing groundwater level.
