On & Off-Site Benefits of Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements

Recipient: Applied Research Associates, Inc.
Grant: $85,955
Completion: 2019
Project Summary: 20

Background and Need
Permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) provide a dual function: stormwater management (reduction of pollutants and volumes) and pavement structure to support traffic. This dual role results in higher costs than conventional impervious pavements. However, there are significant benefits accompanying PICP use that can justify higher initial and lifetime costs.
