Pervious Concrete

When it Rains, it Drains.

 

 UNH Pervious Concrete Video "Trilogy".

"UNH Parking Lot Could Pave Way To Cleaner Water"

Check out this August 9, 2007 news video on a pervious concrete research project!

"Porous Concrete Combats Dreaded Potholes, Flooding"

This April 29, 2008 follow-up video details the successful performance to date.

UNH Pervious Concrete: 1500 Gallons in 3.5 minutes

This June 20, 2008 commentary-free video shows the pervious concrete in action!

 

    Stormwater runoff occurs when rain falls. This runoff causes flash floods, increased pollution in rivers and streams, and loss of rainwater that could otherwise replenish water tables and aquifers. Pervious concrete has a 15-25% void structure, allowing for 3-8 gallons of water per minute to pass through each square foot. This accounts for far more than is generated during any rain event. Pervious concrete parking lots put rainwater back in the ground where it belongs!
