Pervious Concrete Promotion Subcommittee to Meet at ConcreteWorks

The NRMCA Pervious Concrete Promotion Subcommittee will meet at the upcoming ConcreteWorks Conference & Expo at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa outside Las Vegas on Sunday, September 22, from 2:30-4 p.m. in the Hills Meeting Room. Topics of discussion will include reviews of the proposed Pervious Maintenance Guidelines and the Guidelines for Specifying Pervious Concrete.

"More and more, we are seeing pervious concrete spec’d on projects," says NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge, "and that is an indication that our promotion efforts have been working. However, many times the specifications are incorrect, self-contradictory and even sometimes unachievable. By developing these guidelines and providing them in conjunction with ACI 522R and 522.1, we can make sure that specifiers have everything they need to develop a good, workable pervious concrete specification."
