PICP
PICP (Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements) reduce storm water runoff by infiltrating rain through the paver surface into a gap-graded base below.
LEED credits can be achieved by PICP when integrated as a BMP (Best Management Practices) for storm water control.
The “Eco-Locking” interlocking concrete paver is 5” X 10” X 3 1/8” thick and interlocks across an open joint space. The open joint space is filled with a course drainage aggregate, allowing storm water to infiltrate at a rate well over the heaviest rainfall event.
The "Eco-Locking" paver can be mechanically installed in a herringbone pattern or manually in other patterns such as basketweave and runner bond.
A PICP system with our "Eco-Locking" pavers will provide these benefits:
* Reduce impervious cover
* Increases on-site infiltration of storm water
* Reduce pollution from run-off
* Colors available with Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of at least 29
* Manufactured with locally sourced materials
* Reduced Portland cenment content enhanced with recycled Flyash
* Eliminates the need for a detention pond and its land
* ADA compliant
