RE: successfully testing pervious concrete
My thoughts on pervious concrete. It is THE key to vastly reduce the amount of rainfall water that is needed need to be treated at sewer plants which is a HUGE problem for most modern cities. Now how is this "key" implemented into solved the problem is the multi-million dollar project question. I have my ideas and will be speaking with DOT and sewer departments to see if my ideas are implementable and more importantly cost functioning.
On a side note I have another use of pervious concrete that has nothing to do with road usage but will be the next big step in advancement for what it is used for. 5 years or so down the road I hope to have that real word data to back this up and publish my findings to the world.
Architects and engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments with public consent, public approval and often public money.
