Pervious Concrete: Why Use It?
Attractive | Economic | Environmental | Structural | LEED
Pervious concrete is an innovative building material with many environmental, economic, and structural advantages. The proper utilization of pervious concrete is a recognized Best Management Practice by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for providing first-flush pollution control and stormwater management. Property owners and developers can also reduce fees and enhance the bottom line by using pervious concrete, which commonly provides 20-40 years of service with little or no maintenance.
