Developing porous concrete technology to capture and filter stormwater while scaling manufacturing, pilots, and engineering for licensing deployments.

• Porous concrete built into standard mixes: AquiPor integrates a porous hydrate material into conventional concrete to create infrastructure-grade porous concrete.
• Stormwater capture and filtration: The technology captures, filters, and manages stormwater at the point of rainfall while independent testing reports filtration for common stormwater particles and tire wear toxins.
• Fits multiple product formats: AquiPor can be added to pavers, pour-in-place concrete, and precast units for flexible installation options.
• Strength and durability support: The material is designed to improve concrete hydration chemistry during curing, supporting strength and durability.
• Scaling manufacturing and pilot deployments: Proceeds are intended to expand manufacturing capacity, scale production processes, and fund pilot projects, site assessments, engineering support, and hiring for commercial growth.

AquiPor intends to apply the raised capital to increase manufacturing capacity and expand commercial operations for its porous concrete technology. The company plans to continue research and development and third-party performance validation of AquiPor Inside additive, optimize product lines for porous pavers, precast panels, and cast-in-place concrete, and scale raw material supply and manufacturing processes with production partners. Proceeds are also earmarked for pilot projects and business development, including proof-of-concept installations, site assessments, engineering and design work, and building a pipeline with municipal and corporate stakeholders. Hiring plans emphasize engineering, technical sales, and operations, supported by finance, HR, and marketing to support near-term licensing activity.

AquiPor’s technology creates porous concrete by integrating a porous hydrate material into conventional mixes. The resulting product captures, filters, and manages stormwater right where it falls, helping paved surfaces function as stormwater management systems. AquiPor can be added to pavers, pour-in-place concrete, and precast units while matching or exceeding strength characteristics of traditional concrete. Its connected pore structure enables high-rate water flow through the concrete while filtering pollutants at the surface. Independent testing reports filtration performance for particles commonly found in stormwater and for tire wear toxins. The material is designed to improve concrete hydration chemistry during curing, supporting durability. By enabling infiltration and groundwater recharge, the technology supports water quality protection and stormwater compliance for cities and developers.

Company Info

AquiPor develops an additive and related engineering services for making concrete porous to capture and filter stormwater, supporting urban flooding mitigation and groundwater recharge.

AquiPor develops proprietary porous concrete technology that is incorporated into conventional concrete mixes to create a durable material with interconnected pores. The hardened surface allows water to infiltrate while filtering pollutants carried by stormwater, turning paved areas such as sidewalks, driveways, and parking surfaces into on-site stormwater management assets.

The company supports project adoption through engineering services including mix design, drainage modeling, and performance specifications with QA/QC oversight, and through a licensing approach that supplies the technology to concrete and precast manufacturers. The same additive can be used in cast-in-place, precast units, and pavers, enabling scale across different construction types while helping reduce runoff volumes and support groundwater recharge in cities.
