Tackling Urban Challenges with Dotcon+

In an era where urban areas face increasing threats from torrential rains, rising temperatures, and other environmental concerns, PUMP MAN Corporation introduces Dotcon+, a next-generation permeable concrete designed to combat these pressing issues. Scheduled for a public demonstration on October 18, 2025, in Hinode, Tokyo, this event aims to showcase innovative solutions for managing water runoff and promoting urban safety.

The Challenge: Urban Environment Under Siege

Recent years have seen cities grapple with an uptick in extreme weather events, particularly flash floods that wreak havoc on city infrastructure and public safety. The looming threats of climate change also manifest in heat islands, which exacerbate discomfort in densely populated areas. Addressing the challenges of pooling water and increasing temperatures, Dotcon+ operates on the principle of “storing and allowing rainwater to seep through”. This innovative approach not only mitigates flood risks but also enhances environmental quality by cooling urban landscapes.

Dotcon+: A Leap Forward

Building on the success of its predecessor, Dotcon, which earned accolades for its remarkable permeability and straightforward installation, the new and improved product integrates several enhancements:

• - Enhanced Water Retention: The new structural unit is engineered to boost the concrete's capacity to hold rainwater, significantly reducing potential flooding during heavy rains.
• - Improved Installation Precision: The modular design ensures consistent quality across installations, making it easier and more reliable for contractors.
• - Design Versatility: With various design options available such as tiled finishes, cobblestone styles, and hexagonal shapes, cities can customize Dotcon+ to fit their unique aesthetic needs while promoting effective water management.

Recognition and Support

Notably, Dotcon has been recognized as a Rainwater Infiltration Ambassador by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, underscoring its significance in urban planning and management.
