NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge recently met with engineers at the Richmond, VA, office of Timmons Group Engineering where he gave a presentation on designing and specifying pervious concrete, and fielded several questions on its durability and efficacy. Additionally, he introduced attendees to resources available through NRMCA, particularly the Design Assistance Program (DAP). The meeting was facilitated by Ann-Germaine Danz, director of industry services for the Virginia Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (VRMCA).

There is significant interest in pervious concrete among designers and specifiers throughout Virginia, as they look for innovative ways to comply with new stormwater regulations that have recently been enacted, Kresge said.

With 12 offices in NC and VA, Timmons Group provides site engineering, stormwater management, and environmental and geotechnical engineering services throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Clients include many local, state and federal government agencies.
