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!
