Porous Pavement • Historically predominant use• Benefits well documented
• Stormwater BMP• detention• retention• treatment
• Parking lots – “most bang for buck”

Literature Review/Methodology
• 90% of material was found through internet sources
• Main difficulty – differentiating innovative uses
1. “pervious concrete”: 1550 results.
2. “porous concrete” -“pervious concrete”: 4090 results
3. “no fines concrete” -“porous concrete” -“pervious concrete”: 464 results
• NPCPA LinkedIn group
• Prof. Hein Contributions
– 2012 Study Abroad trip to Australia and New Zealand
– 2013 Study Abroad trip to China
– 2014 Internet Research, follow-up w/ Stacy’s contacts

Greenhouse Floors
• Eliminate ponding water• Control weed growth• Solid surface for equipment
transport• Heat storage & exchanger for
plants• Must vacuum to prevent
clogging from soils and nursery materials

Belton, MO Community Greenhouse, 2013
Reasons:1. Community Relations Tool2. Volunteer friendly – children, seniors3. Supply Parks Dept. with plants
Concerns:1. Clogging with soils & nursery materials2. Severe freeze/thaw winters.3. Prevent moss from growing in the moist environment & creating "slippery” working surface.
Solutions:1. Being careful to NOT drop soils2. Vacuum often (its working)3. So far no moss or other organic growth

Retaining Walls• No-fines concrete backfill• Set concrete exerts no
pressure on wall block• Minimal settlement behind
wall• PC attaches to block &
extends wall mass• Excellent drainage reduces
lateral hydrostatic pressure • Taller walls with less
excavation• Higher production rates
