Dual-Use & Parking-in-the-Pond Concepts
The best way to deal with stormwater runoff, is to catch it before it
runs off.
Stormwater runoff
is a big problem today. All states, counties and municipalities are
looking for ways to address the problem. Asphalt Pavements are
not a solution - they are part of the problem. Pervious concrete, in
conjunction with the Dual-Use System, offers a better solution.
Using the
Dual-Use System can reduce site-development costs by more than
half.
The Dual-Use system,
(Parking-in-the-Pond) concept, offers a means of stopping
runoff at the source. It is the only system available that can
completely eliminate stormwater runoff from parking lots. Check out our new FAQ Section and
LEED Section for
easy access to design and construction information on this system.
This site is designed to be used by Stormwater Managers, Civil
Engineers, Contractors and Developers as a guide to help design, and
construct, pervious concrete pavements as an integral part of
on-site stormwater management systems. The basic system design follows
the guidelines as depicted in the NIBS
Federal Green Construction Guide
& the EPA
Porous Pavements.
It is our intent to make this site user-friendly. There are many
"links" to other websites and we try to maintain the integrity of those
links. However, some links may be down for a short time. Please report
any down-links you may find, or suggestions you would like to make.
