Benefits of
Pervious Concrete
  • Reduces stormwater runoff
  • Eliminates the need for detention ponds and other costly stormwater management practices
  • Replenishes water tables and aquifers
  • Allows for more efficient land development
  • Minimizes flash flooding and standing water
  • Prevents warm and polluted water from entering our streams
  • Mitigates surface pollutants

Promotion: Pervious Concrete

Pervious Concrete...
"When it Rains, it Drains"Concrete Home

This stormwater management system is gaining serious momentum, even in the Midwest.  Sometimes referred to as no fines
concrete or porous concrete, pervious concrete contains a 15% to 25% void structure that allows stormwater to “flow through” the concrete into an aggregate base reservoir or aggregate detention cell.  Pervious Keys

Basic Pervious Concrete Properties:

  • Porosity 15%-25%

  • Permeability 3-8 gal/sf/min

  • Density 120 psf

  • Strength 500-3500 psi
