Stormwater management is a critical component in any municipality to retain and infiltrate increased runoff volumes and flow rates from developed land that creates increased impervious cover (roofs and pavements). The course discusses the hydrologic and structural design fundamentals of permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) and why it is an excellent choice to help meet stormwater management goals. Discussions include the benefits of using PICP, components of PICP, design and construction considerations and how use of PICP can help earn LEED® credits.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify sites that are suitable for permeable interlocking concrete pavement, and where limitations exist, ensure the objectives for stormwater management can be successfully met.
  • Discuss the many benefits of using permeable interlocking concrete pavement, such as reducing the need for retention ponds, helping to conserve land use and helping to earn LEED points for your project.
  • Recall key factors that help determine system components such as base, subbase and aggregate characteristics and infiltration options to avoid the risks associated with ponding water.
  • Explore essential components in the ASCE 68-18 PICP standard, the national standard on design, construction and maintenance for permeable interlocking concrete pavement.
  • Explain the hydrologic design and structural design factors that determine subbase thicknesses.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
