TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 23, 2024 / Due to recent storms that have devastated the Southeastern United States, Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (OTC PINK:AWSL) is experiencing a surge of interest in the incredible uses of Flexi®-Pave to mitigate stormwater management. According to Ryan Maue, the former Chief Scientist for the North Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Hurricane Helene dumped approximately 40 trillion gallons of water in her path, stunning experts and leaving local communities in ruin in the aftermath that followed. Hurricane Milton, one of Florida's most destructive hurricanes in recent years, dumped approximately 3.4 trillion gallons of water in the Sunshine State alone.

CEO and Chairman, Kevin Bagnall, stated that: "While we witnessed and experienced the horrific devastation to residents and businesses throughout the region, we are already witnessing an increase in interest from the engineering community as a viable solution to a mounting problem."

The benefits of Flexi®-Pave are appreciated and welcomed by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum through the current installation of 4,000 square feet of Flexi®-Pave paths around the museum property to create porous flexible surfaces for its growing number of visitors. Located in Vergennes, Vermont, the museum opened its doors nearly 40 years ago with a "mission to preserve and share the cultural and natural heritage of the Lake Champlain region" while also "connecting all people to Lake Champlain, inspiring them to learn from the past, build together in the present, and create a sustainable future."

Mr. Bagnall added: "These events have Engineers across the south and southeastern states diving deeper into the many uses and benefits of Flexi®-Pave to mitigate stormwater management. Extensive third-party research on Flexi®-Pave's unique composition shows that it takes the energy out of water force, diffusing water through its porosity rate of 3,000 gallons of water per hour per square foot, thereby lending to the release of hydrostatic pressure when flood waters recede. Its ability to support ground water recharge and embankment stabilization have also garnered the attention of various departments throughout the devasted region".

The State of Vermont has seen an increase in floods, most recently with Tropical Storms Debby and Beryl, which dropped historical volumes of rain in their paths, leaving some communities under a foot of water. Amid these growing concerns, communities are taking precautions to preserve the integrity of the natural environment while also balancing the effects of urbanization through proven, sustainable technologies.
