Pennsylvania Concrete Masonry Association
Permeable concrete pavers, combined with best engineering design practices in managing storm water, provide a cost effective solution in controlling storm water pollution. A permeable paver is a solid concrete masonry paving unit that through its special design, can let water pass through the void space between adjacent paving units. Typical permeable paver applications may include: residential driveways; parking lots; light residential or commercial traffic applications;
Attendees will learn about the types of exfiltration options used for base construction and when each is applied. Hydrological and structural design principles for the pavement base will be addressed along with the components of permeable paver construction specification, maintenance requirements and Sustainable Design through LEED®.
Architects, landscape architects, landscape contractors, engineers, general contractors, developers, company owners, code officials and anyone considering the use of permeable paver products will benefit from seeing this seminar.
