Side access to sports centre.
The resolution of the landscaped areas on the slopes, as well as the risers of the steps, have been the risers of the steps, have been resolved with 8 mm thick galvanised steel sheet.

Installation of drainage cells.
Installation of the conduction elements, drainage cells, which allow the water to be conveyed to the retention and storage areas, crossing existing installations and construction.
These cells are made of polypropylene, a recycled and recyclable material, and are about 30 mm thick, which have a tongue-and-groove joint system for the union between the pieces.

Meeting of the pavement with the green area.
Detail of the meeting point of the permeable urban paving made up of ceramic pieces with low commercial value with the green area where a base of volcanic gravel on which ivy grows has been installed. This encounter is resolved in a very simple way by incorporating a galvanised steel sheet that serves to contain the earth and limit the paving. The project has increased the existing green and wooded area by 75%.

Installation of ceramic flooring.
Once the installation and levelling of the aggregate layer (e=3cm) of Ø2-6mm granulometry has been completed, the ceramic modules are installed. In the case of the demonstrator, as it is a rig with continuous joints, wooden strips have been used to allow the installation of the modules with 6mm joints, thus guaranteeing the separation and alignment of the joint.

Installation of ceramic flooring.
Once the modules have been installed, the wooden slats are removed and the joints are filled by sweeping with washed silica sand with a grain size of 1-2 mm. Subsequently, a rubber mallet is used to ensure the penetration of the aggregate between the joints.

Life CERSUDS system during a rain event.
Permeable pavements make it possible to restore permeability in urban environments, renaturalising runoff water management and improving infiltration capacity. Moreover, in combination with other SUDS techniques, they allow rainwater to be reused and revalued.
The European LIFE CERSUDS project (Ceramic Sustainable Urban Drainage System) is developing sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) that use ceramic materials of low commercial value as a filter system for construction or paving. Its main objective is to improve the capacity of cities to adapt to climate change and to promote the use of green infrastructures in their urban planning for the rehabilitation of such urban areas. To achieve this, LIFE CERSUDS has developed and implemented a sustainable urban ceramic drainage system with low environmental impact. A demonstration has been developed for this purpose in the municipality of Benicàssim (Castellón).
