SKOKIE, Ill.—Portland Cement Association (PCA) and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association will continue their successful series of regional pervious concrete seminars with new dates this fall. Pervious Concrete—A Stormwater Solution has been offered in 28 cities during the last two years.

As stormwater management systems increasingly focus on using strategies that emphasize conservation and use of on-site natural features, pervious concrete pavements are becoming a popular solution. Pervious concrete is recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a best practice for stormwater management.

The course ideal for civil engineers, architects, and landscape architects looking for the necessary project specifications for pervious concrete pavement systems. 

The seminars will provide detailed instruction on how to implement pervious concrete pavements as a solution for reducing stormwater runoff from building sites and other paved areas.  Attendees will learn the details of the systems, engineering properties, and construction techniques.
