Designed for Communities, Campuses, and Commercial Spaces


MOVING TOWARD COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

Chesapeake Bricks & Pavers represents a next-generation reuse pathway for dredged material. Following successful pilot testing and production, the Belden-Eco Products team is actively coordinating with the State of Maryland in hopes of establishing a future production facility.

BRICK & PERMEABLE PAVER PRODUCTS BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD USE

The Chesapeake Brick is engineered for projects where strength, durability, and water management matter most. It can be produced as permeable pavers for outdoor surfaces and also supports brick applications for vertical building markets. 

Permeable pavers are designed to allow water to pass through the paved surface, helping reduce runoff and supporting groundwater recharge.


THE CHESAPEAKE BRICK CAN BE USED ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF PROJECTS

  • Sidewalks and Pedestrian Walkways

  • Plaza and Public Gatherings

  • Parking Areas and Streetscapes

  • Vertical Structures and Architectural Appliations

WHAT MAKES CHESEAPEAKE BRICK DIFFERENT

Market-Competitive Pricing

Project modeling indicates the Chesapeake Brick and pavers, made by reusing dredged material, may be sold at equal to or less than traditional clay and shale pavers – making sustainability accessible at scale. 

Versatile Across Vertical + Horizontal Markets

The facility and process can support permeable pavers as well as residential and architectural face brick – providing flexibility for different project types and market needs.

Made from Beneficially Reused Dredged Material

Instead of treating dredged material as waste, the Chesapeake Brick turns it into a valuable construction product – supporting circular reuse and reducing reliance on disposal. 

Permeable by Design

The permeable pavers support stormwater-smart infrastructure by helping reduce runoff and supporting groundwater recharge.

Proven Strength and Durability

Testing results show bricks and pavers made with dredged material achieved compressive strengths above minimum requirements and absorption within acceptable limits.
