Pavements

Event Description/Abstract

In the last two decades, a new class of pavement known as permeable pavement has been placed in the toolbox of engineers. When used as part of an integrated stormwater management plan, permeable pavements allow stormwater to pass through the pavement, where it can infiltrate into the subsoil. This presentation will discuss the challenges and effectiveness of permeable pavements placed on several municipal streets in the City of Ann Arbor.
