Pervious Concrete Pavement Systems

Dual-Use & Parking-in-the-Pond Concept

 Stormwater-runoff is a big problem today. All states, counties and municipalities are looking for ways to address the problem. Pervious concrete, in conjunction with the Dual-Use System, offers a viable, cost-effective solution.

The Dual-Use system, (Parking-in-the-Pond) concept, offers a means of stopping runoff at the source. 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 and the new Florida Statewide Stormwater Rule.
