Fully automatic permeable brick production line: integrating the “sponge” concept into the entire life cycle of project construction

Water brick pavement, sunken green space, ecological priority, combination of natural approaches and artificial measures. In many large and medium-sized cities, many square green spaces, park streets, and residential projects have begun to follow the construction concept of sponge cities. The so-called sponge city is to give full play to the accumulation of rainfall by primitive landforms, the infiltration of rainwater by natural underlying surfaces and ecological background, and the natural purification of water quality by vegetation, soil, wetlands, etc., making the city like a sponge, capable of absorbing and releasing rainwater, and flexibly adapting to environmental changes and natural disasters. At present, with the increase of ecological and environmental protection efforts, permeable brick products are mostly produced without production using fully automatic permeable brick production lines.

Sponge cities cannot be narrowly understood as rainwater collection, storage, and reuse, nor are they water conservancy and flood control or drainage and waterlogging prevention. On the whole, they take low impact development as the core guiding ideology, take water ecology, water environment, water security, and water resources as strategic objectives, and achieve sustainable development through the combination of gray and green infrastructure. Compared to the later transformation and maintenance, the planning and construction in the early stage and the establishment of a long-term management and control mechanism are more crucial. It is necessary to strengthen the top-level design at the beginning of development and construction. Honcha is a domestic service provider that provides cutting-edge intelligent equipment for fully automatic permeable brick machines, and the permeable brick products produced by the company’s equipment have been used in the construction of sponge permeable projects in major alkali city street squares in China, such as the Bird’s Nest and East Chang’an Street. We believe that the concept of “sponge” should be integrated into the entire life cycle of project construction. Especially in the production of sponge permeable bricks, the contradiction between high water permeability and wear resistance and compression resistance must be overcome in order to build a high-quality sponge city. Because poor quality sponge permeable bricks can not only make the construction of sponge cities fall short, but also bring greater pressure on subsequent maintenance.
