Pervious Concrete

One of the best solutions to phase 2 storm water requirements is a pervious concrete pavement. Pervious concrete is porous concrete that allows rain water, snow, and ice to pass through it. The water is filtered through an aggregate sub-base and returned to the ground below, replenishing the water table in the area and filtering pollutants from the pavement run off.

Pervious concrete figures favorably in storm water containment requirements. Instead of constructing a retaining pond on expensive real estate for storm water containment, water drains through the parking area.
