The site, formerly a standard asphalt paved area, is fully equipped with monitoring instrumentation to record rainfall and water quality.
► PCA Summary: Pervious Concrete and Freeze-Thaw In climates prone to severe freeze-thaw cycles, some are hesitant to use pervious concrete pavements until it has been proven that pervious concrete can be made to resist freeze-thaw damage. NRMCA has developed guidelines for using pervious concrete in areas prone to freeze-thaw conditions.
