"Permeable interlocking concrete pavements are a logical choice for
effective stormwater management. High quality interlocking concrete
pavers provide a hard and durable surface not subject to surface abrasion and raveling while effectively transferring surface water to the underlying open
graded aggregate which provides storage and filtering capabilities."

“Entering a parking lot should be the beginning of a pleasant experience when you arrive at a site and/or building. Parking lots should be ‘parking gardens’ with trees, other vegetation, color, texture and variety. Besides creating a sustainable drainage system that supports plants, permeable interlocking concrete pavement improves the character of parking area, thereby supporting the parking garden idea.”

Director of Sustainable Design with Wight & Company-Darien, Illinois
This short video discusses current stormwater management practices and shows how permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) can be used as part of an effective sustainable, low impact developm
Excel based program calculates base thicknesses for interlocking concrete pavements using the ASCE standard T&DI 58-10, Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Pavement for Municipal Streets
Accompanies the instruction for the Concrete
Paver Installer Certification course. Divided into 10-minute sections
that follow the Student Manual for the course.
Excel-based software enables users to input conditions and severities from the field and supports the Distress Guide for Interlocking Concrete Pavements.
Version 16 structural design program for calculating base thickness for parking lots, streets, industrial and port areas. Uses AASHTO and mechanistic analysis. CD requires Windows 98 or higher.
