Proper Installation of Pervious Concrete
1. Communication. Good Pervious Concrete installation is an investment with an excellent pay-off. It is a team effort. If the site engineer knows how to use it effectively it will be a tool that will help convert the site into a green zone. The aquifer will be refreshed, trees will be protected and flourish and Green Building, LEED points will be earned.
Natural topography will become an ally as all learn how good installation will help the site function as designed for years to come. Consistent ready-mixed Pervious Concrete supplied to the designed recipe will enable a knowledgeable installation team, because everyone knows the part they play. But as work begins it starts with a good foundation, the base.

Good pervious concrete installation team work takes years of training and experience. Each team member knows what makes a successful installation, and their part on that team, from start to finish. Cross training makes flexability possible and growth to handle any size project. |

What are LEED points? An association called the U.S Green Building Council is a coalition of pioneers from every sector of the construction industry working to create projects with a significant positive impact. More than 9,000 member organizations are creating buildings, building sites and communities to improve the quality of life. They do this using designs, materials and methods that improve the environment where possible and limit the negative impact of construction.
Projects registered with the association are evaluated against performance benchmarks including reduced operating costs, creating healthy environments and conserving natural resources. LEED certified receive a silver, gold or platinum certification.
