Benefits of Pervious Concrete
Environmental Benefits
- Eliminates untreated storm water and creates zero runoff!
- Directly recharges groundwater
- Mitigates “first flush” pollution
- Protects streams, watersheds, and ecosystems
- Mimics the drainage and filtration of bioswales and natural soils
- Reduces surface temperatures and heat island effects
- Provides a higher albedo surface reflectivity index (0.35 or higher)
- Eliminates need for expensive collection and detention systems
Development Benefits
- All storm water catch basins structures within the plat
- All storm water piping to detention vaults and ponds and their subsequent maintenance and bonding
- The need for detention vault/piping systems and their many problematic issues
- The need for interior plat curbing
- The oily asphalt road surfaces while replacing them with a thick, rigid concrete surface with a 30+ year life expectancy

Financial Benefits
- A pervious infrastructure is much more profitable for the developer
- Eliminates time consuming and costly storm water detention vaults and piping systems
- Eliminates the cost of curb and gutter installations
- Reclaims lots otherwise consumed by vaults and ponds
Summary
A stormwater infrastructure that utilizes pervious concrete is great for the environment, speeds the development process, and is more profitable for the developer!
