Designed to meet the growing environmental demands for Sustainable & Low Impact Development


Pervious Concrete is a specialty concrete consisting of cement, recycled fly ash or slag, coarse aggregates, water, and other necessary components to produce sufficient paste and bonding ability to glue coarse aggregates together. This creates a highly permeable yet, structural system of interconnected voids that drains storm water quickly. Aggregate characteristics, paste content and proper placement methods will determine the available density or void content to produce infiltration rates sufficient to handle Pacific Northwest storm events.
