Engineering for the Earth recently visited an 80,000 sq.ft. paving project being constructed i n North Carolina at M.C.A.S. Cherry Point. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PCIP) and other permeable paving methods can be more cost effective than traditional concrete or asphalt paving.
Engineering for the Earth was invited to visit this site by CCS, Combined Construction Services, a design/build firm that specializes in hardscape development. Recognizing the environmental demand for pavement alternatives that meet the growing needs for Low Impact Development, CCS has created a department dedicated to permeable paving.
PCIP users can earn up to six LEED Credits as administered by the US Green Building Council.
Folow the link for more images and information on alternative pavement options.
