Pervious Pavement Alternatives

Training Provided by Lorman Education Services nPorous pavements are becoming one of the most important tools for meeting nonpoint source pollution goals, building low-impact developments and rehabilitating cities in a sustainable manner. However designers, developers and municipal officials are reluctant to use porous pavements until numerous questions about their practicality and feasibility are answered. This teleconference conveys the scientific results and on-the-ground experiences that answer those questions. It reviews performance results and important provisions for pavement design, construction and maintenance. It provides established standards for installation of two types of porous paving materials: pervious concrete and open-jointed block. It provides case studies from all over North America that illustrate results in diverse soil, climate and traffic situations, and applications for investment and environmental purposes. n nLearning Objectives n- You will be able to debate performance. n- You will be able to analyze and create successful pavement. n- You will be able to describe open-jointed block. n- You will be able to discuss applications. n
