Sites failing runoff and detention requirements
Services · Permeable Surfaces
Permeable Surfaces. Built to hold.
Permeable surfaces move stormwater through the pavement instead of across it. That reduces runoff, keeps pollutants out of storm systems, and helps sites hit modern drainage and environmental requirements without oversized detention basins.
Problems we see
Where permeable surfaces fails.
Ponding and icing at low points and around inlets
Pollutant loading into municipal storm systems
Impervious-cover limits blocking site expansion
Our approach
How we scope permeable surfaces.
01
Sub-base design matched to infiltration rate and hydrologic target
02
Porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or permeable pavers by application
03
Maintenance plan to keep the surface draining over its service life
04
Coordination with civil and stormwater engineers on documentation
Outcomes
What you get when the work is done.
Documented, repeatable, and built into every close-out.
- On-site stormwater management without expanding detention
- Impervious-cover credit for site plan approvals
- Reduced ice and ponding at parking and pathway surfaces
Questions
Permeable Surfaces questions, answered.
Do permeable surfaces need special maintenance?+
Yes. Periodic vacuum sweeping keeps the voids clear. Skip that and infiltration rates drop over time.
Can permeable pavement handle heavy vehicles?+
Pervious concrete and reinforced porous asphalt sections can handle standard truck and fire lane loads when designed for it. Heavy industrial loading usually needs a hybrid section.
