Abstract: This study focuses on a new feature of StormPav Green Pavement System. Not only it is designed to store stormwater, it could act as a conduit to flow stormwater in a typical commercial environment. This StormPav system is simulated to convey stormwater from roof and road catchments that is subjected to 3-hour 10-year average recurrent interval design rainfall. By applying the visualization technique offered by SolidWorks Flow Simulation, the simulations demonstrate that the StormPav system is capable of conveying and storing stormwater under the studied duration of the design rainfall.
