Prevention of flooding of public road Lingang in Shanghai With 23 million inhabitants Shanghai is the largest city in China. Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate. From mid-June to end-July it is the rainy season; heavy rain showers are quite common in this period. The project is a road in Shanghai Lingang, with a length of 950 metres and 30 metres wide. As the road metalling area is extensive and the paving alongside the road is situated on both sides, some other ‘sponge measures’ do not meet the installation requirements. Therefore a choice has been made for the rainwater infiltration solution with Hydrorock; in this project the best choice for collecting rainwater on the road.
