KBI's Perma-Drive™ provides the "eco-friendly" solution
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2021 / Atlantic Wind & Solar Inc. (OTC PINK:AWSL) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, KB Industries has completed the installation of its Perma-Drive™ at The Emery/Weiner School a co-educational, independent Jewish day school in Houston Texas. Thus, delivering on its mandate of environmentally friendly paving with architectural flare whilst remaining economically feasible.
In 2017 The Emery/Weiner School in Houston, Texas engaged the services of Dillon Kyle Architects to design additional parking spaces to deal with the growing population for its robust after school programs and growing athletic needs. Their challenge was to either utilize a structure in an existing parking lot or find a beneficial and unique way to utilize the remaining green space in front of the campus retention pond. With these challenges in mind, their goal was to provide aesthetically appealing architectural flare along with long lasting functionality and simulate the grass area while acknowledging the importance of integrating underground storage tanks with a porous parking surface.
In order to provide The Emery/Weiner School with a result that would go above and beyond the client's desire, Dillion Kyle Architects worked with the management at The Emery/Weiner School to think "outside the box'. Their extensive research revealed that porous paving made from a proprietary combination of crushed aggregate and colored to custom blend the parking space and surrounding area; would not only meet their high goal of providing architectural flare, it would also provide long lasting functionality economically. Dillon Kyle Architect is quoted as saying; "We are proud that we are able to bring our creative abilities and that of the management at The Emery/Weiner School along by selecting to use KBI's Perma-Drive™ on this and many other projects".
