It is a specific type of pavement material that retains high porosity values, which allows rainwater and other liquids to pass through the pavement and into the underlying ground soil. This process mimics natural ground soil saturation, reducing runoff and returning water back to underground aquifers. But these are not the only good qualities of permeable pavement; it also traps suspended solids and pollutants, and blocks them from entering the water stream.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_575\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt-Concrete-Paving.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt-Concrete-Paving-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"Asphalt Concrete Paving 317-549-1833\" width=\"640\" height=\"476\" class=\"size-large wp-image-575\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asphalt Concrete Paving 317-549-1833<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<h1>Pervious Pavement Applications<\/h1>\n<p>In order for permeable pavement to deliver the advantages it\u2019s known for, it must be installed properly and used in the proper applications. Pervious pavement does not share the same strength as concrete, so it is not strong enough to handle certain conditions. For this reason, it is not recommended for highways, interstates, high-volume streets, heavy loading areas, and even potential spill sites. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Common applications for permeable pavement include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022\tSidewalks<br \/>\n\u2022\tDriveways<br \/>\n\u2022\tResidential Roadways<br \/>\n\u2022\tParking Lots<br \/>\n\u2022\tLow Water Bridges<br \/>\n\u2022\tPool Decks<br \/>\n\u2022\tPatios<br \/>\n\u2022\tWell Linings<br \/>\n\u2022\tAnd Any Other Low-Volume Surfaces<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brief History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pervious concrete was originally introduced to the paving industry in Europe, in the early 1800\u2019s. Europe frequently used permeable pavements for pavement resurfacing, load-bearing walls, and infill panels. But when World War II drastically reduced the availability of cement, pervious pavement made a come-back, and was a popular alternative once again. Modern uses of permeable pavement began in the 1960\u2019s, including flood prevention and raised water basins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Permeable Pavement:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022\tPorous Asphalt<br \/>\n\u2022\tPlastic Grids<br \/>\n\u2022\tPorous Turf<br \/>\n\u2022\tSingle-Sized Aggregate<br \/>\n\u2022\tInterlocking Concrete Pavers<br \/>\n\u2022\tResin-Bound<br \/>\n\u2022\tBound Recycled Glass<br \/>\n\u2022\tClay Brick <\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Indianapolis Asphalt and Concrete Paving<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_455\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ACI-Indy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ACI-Indy-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"Asphalt &amp; Concrete Service 317-549-1833\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ACI-Indy-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ACI-Indy-768x556.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ACI-Indy-1024x741.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asphalt  &#038; Concrete Service 317-549-1833<\/p><\/div>Call ACI Asphalt and Concrete Inc. at <strong>317-549-1833<\/strong> for professional pavement installation and repair in Indianapolis, Indiana and its surrounding counties.
