Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (OTC:AWSL) has released its June 2025 corporate newsletter, spotlighting the history and significant achievements of its innovative KBI Flexi®-Pave technology. Initially developed by CEO Kevin Bagnall in 2001 through K.B. Industries, a subsidiary of AP&I, this pioneering product marked the advent of the world's first flexible porous paving system.
KBI Flexi®-Pave boasts remarkable capabilities, processing stormwater at a rate of 3,000 gallons per square foot per hour. This technology has been effectively applied in various locations, notably in Key West's historic district. Here, KBI Flexi®-Pave has played a crucial role in reducing trip and fall hazards linked to uneven surfaces, thereby saving the city substantial amounts in legal fees and settlements over the years.
In 2010, expanding its global reach, Kevin Bagnall introduced KBI Flexi®-Pave to the UK market by establishing KBI UK Ltd. This move successfully tapped into new market opportunities for pervious paving, illustrating the product's adaptability and potential for widespread application.
The newsletter also touches upon a study from Southern Illinois University's School of Engineering, which explores the "Life-Cycle Cost Analysis for Traditional and Permeable Pavements." It highlights the challenges faced by urban areas, such as stormwater management, flood risks, and urban heat, positioning KBI Flexi®-Pave as a pivotal solution in urban design strategies aimed at enhancing sustainability and resilience.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure continues to champion innovative environmental technologies, using recycled materials for sustainable infrastructure products. The company's flagship product, KBI Flexi®-Pave, exemplifies their commitment to addressing urban infrastructure issues while promoting the circular economy.
