Introducing examples of the permeable and water-retaining pavement material "Color Sand"! <Hachioji New Town (Tokyo)> *Installed in 1997
In the pedestrian walkway within the residential complex near JR Yokohama Line's Hachioji Minamino Station, developed as Hachioji New Town, permeable and water-retaining colored sand paving materials were adopted in 1997. Although more than a quarter of a century has passed since the construction, there is hardly any significant damage, and the condition is very good. This truly demonstrates one of the characteristics of permeable and water-retaining colored sand paving materials: their long lifespan. *Photographed in May 2023.

Company information
The permeable and water-retaining pavement materials developed by Sanwa Grand Co., Ltd. allow rainwater, an invaluable water resource for the Earth, to permeate and be returned to the ground, thereby alleviating the "heat island phenomenon" in urban areas during the summer, reviving spring water, promoting the growth of trees and flowers, and regenerating "moisture of water and greenery" in the city, creating a pavement that is friendly to both people and nature. Our company aims to contribute to society as a member of a company that creates a comfortable environment through the dissemination of these environmentally friendly pavement materials, which excel in permeability and water retention. Our pavement materials are also ideal for areas with high social needs, such as "barrier-free," "disaster evacuation routes," "weed control measures," and "school route maintenance."
