Chikmagalur is famous for coffee plantations and vegetation, and it gets good rains every year. This good rain can be a blessing, but rainwater needs to be managed carefully to ensure groundwater storage and construction stability.Water flows into the drains instead of soaking into the ground leading to shortages in summer because of rapid urbanization. Segmented Concrete Co. offers concrete products that are realistic, practical and environmentally friendly addressing these problems. 


The top 5 concrete options in Chikmagalur, that improve building strength, and ensure long term water security are:


1. SEGMENTED PRECAST CONCRETE RINGS

Our segmented concrete ring solution is the most trusted entry into recharge wells, soak pits, and borewell structures.


  • Cost effective and easy to install.

  • They allow rainwater to percolate and recharge groundwater.

  • They last a long time and are virtually maintenance free.


In places like Chikmagalur that receive a lot of rain, these rings collect lakhs of litres of water every year, storing it underground.


2. PERMEABLE PAVER BLOCKS

Traditional pavements prevent water from entering the ground. Permeable  paver blocks have pre-defined gaps and joints that allow rainwater to infiltrate the soil.


  • They are ideal for driveways, parking spaces, sidewalks, etc.

  • They minimize surface runoff and pooling.

  • They have great strength and durability and are environmentally friendly.


They have been used for residential developments, estates, and commercial property throughout Chikmagalur.

3. SAUCER DRAINS

In hilly areas, the drainage of water from heavy rainfall, if not properly diverted, may cause damage to roads or the adjoining areas. Our saucer drains facilitate the direction of water without soil erosion.


  • It redirects rain firsthand and prevents soil erosion.

  • Simple to install and very durable.

  • Can be used to create recharge pits for enhanced water storage below ground.


These are a good solution for roadside projects, and for farm layout projects.

4. KERB STONES 

Kerb stones not only present roads and pathways in a tidy manner, they also have multiple design and water management functions. 


  • Directs water to saucer drains and recharge wells. 

  • Gives roads an extra edge against cracking. 

  • Provides long-lasting stability to road and footpath design. 


In Chikmagalur, kerb stones are a value choice for urban projects and estate roads. 


5. PERVIOUS CONCRETE SURFACES 

Unlike normal concrete, pervious concrete has small holes that allow water to pass through and infiltrate into soil. 


  • Excellent for gardens, courtyards, and open spaces. 

  • Minimizes waterlogging and improves stormwater management. 

  • Allows aquifers to be recharged directly from rainwater. 


Thus, Pervious concrete surfaces are one of the most sustainable options of paving being that water will easily pass through and into the ground aquifers.
