Project Summary: 3
Background and Need
The purpose of this study was to evaluate cold climate functionality of PICP in an institutional setting. This was in response to resistance from stormwater agencies and engineers using PICP in such climates due to risks of heaving, freeze-thaw damage, slowed or blocked surface infiltration, plus perceived maintenance and snow removal difficulties. The research project also provided a demonstration site for educational sessions hosted by the UNHSC. These were attended by local stormwater agency personnel and designers.
