Permeable Pavements, billed as “the first comprehensive handbook for the proper design, construction, and maintenance of permeable pavement systems,” is now available. Permeable pavements enable ...

Pavements occupy twice the surface area of buildings in the U.S. In urban watersheds they produce two-thirds of excess runoff and are responsible for essentially all the runoff pollution and ...

With the management of stormwater, the demand for pervious concrete has increased and demand will likely continue. Thankfully, modern pervious concrete mixes have dramatically improved in terms of ...

Scientists have developed permeable pavements to reduce the problems caused by storm and runoff water in urban areas. The project also aims to prepare for the higher volumes of rainfall and more ...

Permeable pavement allows rainfall to pass through, reducing stormwater runoff and pollution. The most common cause of permeable pavement failure is clogging from sediment and organic debris. Regular ...

A Sutton, Mass., pavement demonstration conducted as part of an industry seminar provided designers, contractors and materials producers with important tips on using pervious concrete, a building ...

Permeable pavement systems represent an innovative approach to urban water management, designed to mitigate surface runoff and enhance water quality. These systems integrate porous materials and ...

Pervious concrete is not new. Studies show that pervious concrete was first used in 1852. However, pervious concrete is enjoying a new popularity, to the point that pervious concrete pavement is the ...

The city is testing out a new form of green infrastructure to help prevent flooding in Brooklyn: porous pavement. Seven miles of porous pavement will be installed along a network of streets in Sunset ...
