These factors allow porous pavement systems to approach natural ground cover in heat-absorbing and storage capacity. ... Pervious concrete provides increased land utilization. Pervious concrete ...

Materials on the project included approximately 100,000 square feet of concrete sidewalk, 13,000 square feet of boardwalk, 4,000 square feet of retaining wall, and 20,000 cubic yards of land balancing ...

And pervious concrete won on an initial cost basis by $10,000. In total, this project resulted in the transformation of 28,900 square feet of impervious surfaces to pervious.

According to PennDOT, pervious, or permeable, pavement allows water to pass through the surface of the pavement and settle in a stone reservoir before it is then passed into the ground.
