“EPA’s Edison Environmental Center in Edison, NJ, needed a 110-vehicle-capacity parking lot for facility staff and visitors. EPA researchers took this opportunity to design a parking area using low impact development (LID) controls and conduct long-term stormwater management studies. They used permeable pavement and rain gardens, two types of LID green infrastructure practices. Scientists and engineers are evaluating the ability of these practices to reduce negative effects of stormwater runoff, including stream bank erosion, contamination of water sources, and harm to aquatic plant and animal life. The goal is to demonstrate and document the performance and capabilities of three permeable pavement systems: porous asphalt, pervious concrete, and permeable interlocking concrete pavers. Rain gardens were added to capture any runoff from the impervious sections of the parking lot, as well as the sidewalk and nearby roof runoff. The parking lot is monitored for water quality performance; maintenance effects; parking behavior; and hydrologic performance, including the ability to accept, store, infiltrate, and evaporate stormwater.” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g58QkKnS #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

As different parts of the country become drier, wetter, or hotter, green infrastructure practices can help communities improve their resiliency. The PaveDrain system is a part of that! #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

"[This] project was a high school parking lot in St. Louis, Missouri. Like most projects, they were way behind schedule and needed to have the parking lot ready to go before school started, and the weather was not hindering progress even further. However, the precast concrete block PaveDrain system and its free-draining aggregate base is made for this. The PaveDrain system came palletized with 11 square foot layers and was ready to install. The six-man crew installed 49,000 square feet in just seven days! We are proud that we helped the school open in time, and gave them a 21st Century parking lot that is environmentally friendly and low maintenance.” Read more at the link in the first comment. #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

Something to consider before you wash your car in the driveway! Unless of course, your driveway is PaveDrain. If you aren’t lucky enough to have a PaveDrain driveway, find a spot with gravel or grass. That way the soapy water won't affect our streams and creeks if it gets washed away since it'll be easier for nature to neutralize! To keep things extra safe - go with non-toxic soap that doesn't contain any nasty chemicals then make sure the wastewater is recycled properly. Or better yet – just hit up your local car wash instead! #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

Did you know that PaveDrain can come in different colors? Check with your local PaveDrain representative for a color specific quotation. Have you considered staining the PaveDrain system?!?!? Once colored or stained, the PaveDrain system still needs to be sealed. Learn more at the link in the first comment. #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

“In the realm of sustainable construction and environmental conservation, the use of permeable pavers has emerged as a groundbreaking solution to one of our most pressing challenges: stormwater management. Ernest Maier, a leading provider in the construction industry, has been at the forefront of this innovation, offering a range of permeable pavers that are reshaping the way we handle stormwater runoff. In this article, we will delve into the world of stormwater, exploring permeable paver’s significant impact on the environment and their role in more sustainable urban development.” Keep reading in the link in the first comment! #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

August is Water Quality Month, and at PaveDrain, we're passionate about protecting this vital resource! The PaveDrain system goes beyond traditional stormwater management – it actively contributes to improved water quality. By allowing natural vertical infiltration, our system helps reduce first flush pollutants. This aligns perfectly with the Clean Water Act's goals and the EPA's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. Let's celebrate this month by committing to solutions that not only manage water but enhance its quality for generations to come. #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain
