Pervious Concrete

Pervious Concrete...When it Rains, IT drains!

Stormwater runoff occurs when rain falls. This runoff causes flash floods, increased pollution in rivers and streams and loss of rainwater that could otherwise replenish water tables and aquifers.

Pervious concrete functions by taking the traditional stormwater "pond" and moves it underneath the parking area.  This helps to free-up valuable land resources and maximizes a developer's land-use.  Pervious concrete has a 15%-25% void structure, allowing for 3-8 gallons of water per minute to pass through each square foot.  This accounts for far more than is generated during any rain event.

Pervious concrete parking lots put rainwater back into the ground where it belongs!
