First wet-on-dry pervious concrete overlay succeeds in surface durability, hydraulic performance, and noise reduction over three years of MnROAD testing The National Concrete Pavement Technology ...

When property is developed, pavements and building roofs decrease the rainfall infiltration into the soil and increase the quantity of stormwater runoff. The rain that previously soaked into the ...

I was pleased to read the city of Bellevue was testing pervious concrete as a means to mitigate storm water runoff. This is overdue. In 2005 (using data from 2003), an environmental consultant hired ...

Every year, hundreds, maybe thousands of roads fall victim to natural disasters, be they floods, tsunamis or simply light rains that damage the structure and thus destroy everything in their way.

It's time to rethink concrete. You know the stuff: impervious to water, channels runoff. But what happens when — without sacrificing strength or durability — water drains right through it? Consider if ...

As stormwater runoff from streets and parking lots becomes an ever-more sensitive environmental issue, eliminating it altogether with pervious pavement can be an elegant solution. Two projects now ...

Check out this video of some “pervious pavement” being tested out in Minnesota, which is pretty cool even if you aren’t an infrastructure geek like me: Pervious concrete has been used in Minnesota for ...

Homeowners love concrete, for both interior and exterior use. Outdoors, large expanses of concrete can create environmental problems, though, as they block stormwater from draining off into the soil.
