After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Identify key input parameters for effectively designing permeable asphalt, concrete, and interlocking concrete block pavements.
• Analyze the impact of permeable pavement design features on performance and longevity.
• Design permeable pavements that meet both structural integrity and hydrologic performance requirements.
• Apply strategies to repurpose impervious infrastructure, reducing peak stormwater runoff and enhancing water quality.
• Advocate for and promote sustainable pavement design and construction practices with stakeholders.

Description
Permeable pavements are playing a transformative role in modern stormwater management systems across North America. With the increasing need to reduce surface runoff and enhance water quality, these pavements are becoming a critical solution in urban and infrastructure design. However, despite their potential, the long-term performance of permeable pavements often falls short due to design and construction challenges.

In this course, you will explore best practices for designing, constructing, and maintaining permeable pavements, including asphalt, concrete, and interlocking concrete blocks. The course draws from the latest insights and developments, including lessons learned from the development of the ASCE Standard (ASCE 68-25) for the Design of Permeable Pavements. Topics covered include surface type overview, site characterization, and risk evaluation matrices, ensuring you thoroughly understand how to assess the suitability of permeable pavements for various locations.

Participants will leave with practical knowledge and actionable strategies for integrating permeable pavements into new and existing infrastructure projects. Focusing on structural and hydrologic design capacities, this course is an invaluable resource for professionals involved in sustainable pavement development and stormwater management.

Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for architects, engineers, and designers working in infrastructure, as well as landscape architects, stormwater professionals, and pavement designers. It will also benefit professionals from municipal agencies, the private sector, and developers involved in urban planning, as it provides the tools needed to implement sustainable and functional permeable pavement designs.

Additionally, geotechnical and materials engineers, hydrology professionals, and stormwater management experts will gain valuable insights into integrating permeable pavements into their projects.
