pervious concrete design
And nothing speaks louder than Bay Area Pervious Concrete’s first multi-layer decorative installation with radiant heating at a massive residential project in Lake Tahoe. The project began this summer after two years of cross-collaboration between the architect, engineer, general contractor, and Bay Area Pervious Concrete.

Over the several years BAPC's David Liguori has worked with Caltrans to update their pervious concrete design guidelines and specifications. Recently, he and the California Nevada Cement Association were asked by Caltrans District 4 to provide a pervious concrete workshop for their material, pavement, stormwater, and highway engineers.
The three hour workshop provided 28 Caltrans engineers with the latest developments in pervious concrete system design, specifications, and best management practices. Afterwards attendees were bursting with ideas and projects where pervious concrete would help solve their stormwater design issues. They expressed how grateful they were that our presentation was technical, detail-oriented and highly educational, not just a fluffy sales-pitch.
Read MoreThere has been some confusion as to what is the best base material to use for pervious concrete. Watch this video to see why you should specify open-graded crushed rock instead of "Class II Permeable Aggregate" as the base for pervious concrete sections.
