Pervious Concrete Association

Although the past few years have been tough on many in the concrete industry, we see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have seen a marked increase in the National interest and demand for pervious concrete over the first half of this year. This demand is equivalent to the growth period of pervious concrete in the southeast in the mid/late 90s.

Historically, the marketplace has dictated the growth of pervious concrete through its demands. Pervious concrete has grown from localized grassroots efforts to a macro-environment with interest at both the Federal and State level. Recently several DOTs have advanced from lab testing pervious concrete and have progressed to not only writing specifications, but actually letting and constructing pervious concrete pavements, replacing their traditional asphalt pavement. We are on the threshold of explosive growth of the pervious concrete marketplace.    

Therefore, I'm excited about the timely formation of the National Pervious Concrete Pavement Association. The Association has not been organized to work against or separate from groups that have developed pervious concrete to its current state. It has been organized to stimulate and advance the common interests and general welfare of the pervious concrete industry. It is organized to work closely with associations like ACI, ACPA, ASCC, NRMCA, and PCA to meet this collective goal.

Membership is open to any individual, entity, firm or corporation engaged in the concrete construction industry as a contractor, architect, engineer, consultant, developer, owner, technician, student, manufacturer or supplier of materials, products, tools, equipment or services, and any affiliated trade or professional association.
