Unpredictable weather events are dropping more rain in much less time and the impervious street and sidewalk infrastructure of our cities prohibits rain from soaking into the ground. The result is destructive urban flooding and huge volumes of polluted runoff that ends up in clean waterways every year.

The combination of urbanization, increased average rainfall, and deteriorating infrastructure is threatening clean water sources throughout the U.S.

Urban flooding from stormwater is displacing entire communities and the National Climate Assessment estimates that more than 300,000 properties in the U.S., worth approximately $136 billion today, could be rendered unusable by routine flooding.

At the same time, the Western United States is experiencing a megadrought where groundwater depletion is threatening the water security of regions throughout the West. When it does rain, it has become more critical than ever before to capture and manage stormwater naturally in order to recharge aquifer supply.

AquiPor has integrated its permeable concrete technology with a novel engineering approach to manage large volumes of stormwater from roadways, parking lots, and alleyways.  AquiPor’s permeable surface technology features the strength and durability of traditional concrete, but features water flow rates that allow large volumes of rainfall to pass through it naturally while sifting out particles, dirt, and debris commonly found in stormwater.

Underneath AquiPor's permeable hardscape surface, our permeable detention tanks receive water from the upper surface area and allow it to slowly dissipate into natural soils, ultimately moving filtered stormwater back to the aquifer. With engineered design based on the geotechnical and hydrological characteristics of a given location, we are developing our solution to help communities address a number of water-related challenges - from improving water quality, to mitigating urban flooding and recharging aquifers.

Our advanced solution to old-school concrete embodies a fraction of the carbon footprint that normal concrete does, but still maintains strength and durability that rivals high-strength concrete and features permeability rates that can handle most 100-year storm events. Unlike existing permeable pavements, this material features sub-micron porosity and has shown the ability in internal tests to filter out the majority of sedimentary pollution without clogging.

AquiPor permeable material is precast and can be made in an array of sizes and colors, ranging from large sidewalk panels to smaller architectural pavers. Its production process uses reclaimed construction aggregates and DOES NOT use highly pollutive petroleum-based or portland-based cements.

As the U.S. looks to revamp critical infrastructure in the face of climate change, Billions will be spent to improve water infrastructure in the next ten years, with an estimated $32 Billion needed specifically for municipal stormwater upgrades each year.

As more cities adopt Green Infrastructure approaches as part of their stormwater management plans, the projected value of the global permeable pavement market is expected to eclipse $22 Billion by 2026. 

AquiPor plans to operate as an engineering, procurement, and construction management (E.P.CM) company that facilitates site engineering, the procurement of materials, ensures the quality standards of all concrete made with "AquiPor inside", and oversees the construction of on-site stormwater infrastructure projects. AquiPor plans to negotiate contracts directly with project owners and plans to utilize its value chain partners in civil engineering, material sourcing, concrete manufacturing, and heavy civil construction to build and guarantee the quality of each project.

As an E.P.CM, AquiPor believes it can maintain more control over its own projects and can ensure proper design, installation, serviceability, and maintenance over the lifespan of each project. 

AquiPor plans to earn its revenues through the coordination of project design and engineering, the procurement of turnkey material supply, and the oversight of all construction that utilizes our proprietary stormwater and mixed utility technologies. 

Having recently acquired option rights to new water utility, renewable energy, and broadband technologies, we believe the E.P.CM business model will potentially generate robust revenues and enable the delivery of scalable green infrastructure.

Our target market will be urban and suburban neighborhood and community developers of all types. 

Based on the sheer volume of neighborhood streets in the U.S., we see tremendous potential for this model and have been developing large-scale supply and construction relationships to satisfy expected demand. Please note, at this time we are in the research & development phase.

A Next-Generation Approach to Infrastructure Development

Our E.P.CM approach also lends itself to a project financing model that we believe will speed up the adoption of our technologies to more quickly address climate change. AquiPor plans to work with both private companies and public agencies to initiate, finance, and deliver green infrastructure projects throughout communities in the U.S. As the climate crisis strains critical infrastructure systems, the need for an infrastructure rollout is paramount to the success of our nation's fresh water future. AquiPor plans to be able to quickly scale its EPCM model and work with preferred turnkey suppliers to deliver green infrastructure projects directly to communities.

Licensing

In addition to the E.P.CM model, AquiPor plans to license its permeable technology to third party paver manufacturers and resellers, earning royalties on each paver produced and sold in North America. The paver market is mature, but as legislation incentivizes green infrastructure, new technologies like AquiPor’s are desirable in the permeable paving sector.

In this model, AquiPor will ensure that paver manufacturers meet our quality standards on each unit produced with our technology inside. We will not sell or warranty finished product made by our paver licensees, but instead will work with these manufacturers to make sure they maintain the highest quality of production on any product made with AquiPor inside.

Since our last crowdfund, we have made major strides in the development of our technology and business model. We've begun pilot manufacturing our products, have obtained the option to acquire new technology and engineering rights, and are working toward strategic partnerships that we believe give us a competitive advantage as a specialty Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management firm. 

• Advanced R&D: We have further developed our permeable hardscape material and system design for scalable production and installation.

• Additional Multi-Utility Infrastructure Technologies: We have an option in place to obtain the exclusive rights to patented utility technologies in grey water infiltration, aquifer recharge, renewable energy, and broadband infrastructure.

• Pilot Manufacturing:  We've begun pilot manufacturing of our permeable hardscape products at a precast concrete plant and are preparing for scaled-up manufacturing to meet market demand.

• Regulatory Testing: Rigorous third-party testing is underway for strength, durability, porosity, and permeability of our hardscape material.

• Fundraising: In 2020 we successfully raised capital from strategic investors and maxed out our first equity crowdfunding campaign by raising $1.07M in a Regulation Crowdfund on StartEngine.

CURRENT STAGE

Dear current and prospective Investors:

This is a very exciting time at AquiPor. We have a major opportunity to solve some of the most pressing climate-related water challenges facing cities today. Rapid urbanization, extreme weather, and dilapidated infrastructure are stressing our clean water systems like never before. 

We have developed our technologies and business model with this in mind, giving communities the ability to manage stormwater right where it falls and naturally recharge groundwater with infrastructure solutions that make our communities more resilient in the face of climate change.

Last year we completed our first successful crowdfund on StartEngine, raising $1.07M from over 2,000 investors. We were blown away by the support and are proud to say that our cap table now consists of thousands of investors that share our vision for the future. I’m happy to report that the funds we raised last year enabled the advanced development of our technologies and markets, and the opportunity to acquire explosive new technologies in solar and broadband that fit seamlessly into our civil construction approach to green infrastructure.

With these technologies in combination with our business model, we believe that we can not only help solve the climate crisis but also make our neighborhoods more financially productive by delivering critical infrastructure that pays for itself.

As we take the next big step and go to market with our solutions, we are now asking our community and new potential investors to join us as we seek to make an impact that can be generational.
