Pervious Concrete Pavement
• Surface layer of stormwater management system
• Vital part of water infiltration system
• Like any filter, must be cleaned periodically

The Common Misconception…
15
The Reality…
16
17
Importance of Cleaning
Maintenance different than other pavements.
• Owner’s responsibility.
• Keep permeability close to design.
• Ensures longevity of system.
18
Importance of Cleaning
• Pervious concrete pavement can still function with no cleaning
• Will work better if sand, dirt, leaves and other debris are removed
•Before Cleaning
•After Cleaning
19
20
Frequency of Cleaning
• Depends on amount of sediment
• Inspect pavement regularly
• Observe drainage during a storm event
• Trash, leaves or paper, may degrade into small particles and migrate into the voids
21
22
Three Levels of Maintenance
• Routine Maintenance
• Periodic Maintenance
• Deep Cleaning/Unclogging
23
Routine Maintenance
• Visual Inspection
• Leaf blowing or vacuuming
• Can reduce infiltration of materials into pavement
24
Periodic Maintenance
• Water flushing removes debris
• Dislodged sediment vacuumed
25
Deep Cleaning/Unclogging
26
Deep Cleaning/Unclogging
• Regenerative Vacuum Sweeper
• Pressure Wash/Vacuum
• Stop cleaning if damage to surface is observed
27
Moss Control
28
Moss Control
• Add 10 to 30 oz of baking soda to five gallons of warm water (64F or higher). Spray on surface at 100 to 120 sf per gallon.
• Mix 5 pounds of hydrated lime with five gallons of water. Spray onto surface.
• Mix solution of 10 to 20 percent household bleach and water and spray on surface.
29
Please note…
• Sweeping pervious may be ineffective
• Small sediment gets trapped in coarse surface
• Do not sweep or flush from impervious areas onto pervious areas
• Use cleaning chemicals with EXTREME caution.
• Periodically check permeability
30
Testing Permeability
Simple evaluations
Pouring water on the pavement surface
Visual observation during a rain storm
31
ASTM C1701- Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of In-Place Pervious Concrete
32
Testing Permeability
• Perform ASTM C1701 once curing is completed
• Establish baseline/benchmark
• Map/diagram test locations
• Future tests should be evaluated based on initial test results
33
34
Freeze-Thaw Resistance
• Depends on saturation level
• Avoid critical saturation– Design
• Infiltration System • Secret of success is to provide the water a place to go
– Maintenance• Cleaning, as needed, in severe climates
35
Clean is Key to F/T Durability
36
Winter Maintenance
37
Snow Removal
• Snow blowers
• Snow plows– Use plastic or rubber edge on plow blade
38
Snow Removal
• Brooms not recommended
–Can cause snowpack
39
Do NOT use pervious concrete as storage area for snow!
40
Deicing Chemicals
Use sparingly
41
Deicing Chemicals
Never on concrete less than one year old
42
Deicing Chemicals
• Sodium chloride or calcium chloride on mature concrete
• Never ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate
43
Deicing Chemicals
• Calcium Chloride impregnated sand after first year
44
Deicing Chemicals
• Magnesium Chloride• Calcium Magnesium Acetate• Potassium Acetate
45
Deicing Chemicals
• Magnesium Chloride• Calcium Magnesium Acetate• Potassium Acetate
46
Coarse Sand
• Larger than a No. 8 sieve
• Broadcast on pervious pavement
• Thoroughly clean surface by vacuuming after winter season
• Maintain the system permeability
47
Maintenance of Surrounding Areas
• Sediment can be carried by wind• Automobiles carry sediments
onto parking area• Landscape maintenance
practices• Design proper grading, water
flow, vegetation and curbs to reduce potential clogging
• Landscaping material should not be stored on pavement
48
Maintenance of Surrounding Areas
• Should drain away from pervious pavement
• Otherwise materials may flow onto pavement resulting in:
– Reduced pavement porosity
– Increased frequency of maintenance
– Compromised service life
49
Maintenance of Surrounding Areas
• Adjacent areas that do drain should be kept maintained
• Grassy areas should be kept seeded
• Informational signage recommended
50
“An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.”
51
Develop Maintenance Plan
• Establish baseline infiltration rate
• Identify procedure and frequency
• Transfer with change in ownership
