| Why Pervious?
Cost Savings
Property developers and owners will greatly appreciate
the cost savings they'll realize as a result of reduced
or eliminated expenses normally incurred for the construction
of required stormwater drainage systems and retention
areas. The use of Pervious Concrete reduces or eliminates
the need for these systems and stormwater management
will be more reliable and consistent.
Increase Land Utilization for Commercial Sites
What developer doesn't fight to make available and
maximize the commercial use of every square foot of
their property? Sites designed with Pervious Pavement
drives and parking areas will allow you to increase
the square footage available for commercial utilization.
This ultimately enhances the property owner's return
on their investment.
Durability
Pervious Pavement's durability has proven itself and
will outlast all other common paving materials. Water
is a main contributor to the deterioration and destruction
of our paved roads and parking lots. Unlike other pavement
materials, tests prove that Pervious Pavement becomes
stronger and more stable when it gets wet. This is a
significant factor as to why it does not deteriorate
as fast as other paving materials. Longer lasting durability
in a harsh environment is a significant benefit.
Less Costly to Maintain
As a result of Pervious Concrete Pavement's long lasting
durability it requires substantially less long-term
maintenance and repair. Expensive maintenance for pothole
repairs and asphalt resurfacing are virtually eliminated.
No Standing Water Hazards
Standing water is a common problem in roads and parking
lots throughout Florida. Torrential Florida rains can
turn streets or parking lots into treacherous surfaces
without warning. Oils from asphalt turn pavement into
a slippery ice-like surface. Hydroplaning becomes a
vehicular hazard. Also customers or pedestrians can
become instant victims of serious injury due to a slip-and-fall
on wet pavement. These can be costly liabilities to
property owners and insurance companies. With the use
of Pervious Pavement these common hazards are all but
eliminated.
Now that you recognize the economic benefits, also
worth mentioning are the many environmental advantages
gained as a result of choosing Pervious Concrete. The
benefits are significant and worth considering when
determining what pavement is best suited for your particular
projects.
