Porous Paving?
5 Replies
How many of you out there advocate (support or promote) the use of porous paving versus impervious surfaces to your projects? How important is it that LA's provide empirical data to support the use o…

Seems like optimal effectiveness of green infrastructure as a strategy would be compromised if not one of the leading elements of the site plan. Beyond professional competence and proven ability to…

I dont think anyone would say that LAs are BETTER suited. I would say that by 'making it work' civil engineers are utilizing calculations and formulas that LAs simply dont use on a regular basis and…

Jenny,
There are several good examples in the Chicago area. Alot of the projects are larger like the US Cellular Field (White Sox) parking lot, Buckingham fountain and othersdone by a variety of firms in Chicago. Our firm has done several for small…
Hi Keven,
I'm looking into porous pavers for a small urban park. Can you point me to a few good examples you know of?
Thanks,
jenny
Yes, I do. Only when there is a practical reason to do so and not by default.
"Green Infrastructure needs to be integrated design and that is what we we do right?"
Yes. It needs to be integrated. That is what I'm trying to say. It should not be forced. If you start with a mind set that you should be an advocate of a certain…
Permeable paving in the Chicago area is big. We have many installations and big high profile areas. It works and the cost is not as big a leap as some expect. There are good options available. It is our belief it it work in Chicago were we have grea…

Andrew,
Not saying LA's are the only ones with the ability to do Green Infrastructure Design, but I would ask who is better suited? I would not say all LA's can or should be going this type of work. But Green Infrastructure is built on the premiss…
I'd like to think that all of us are suggesting the use of whatever makes the most sense for the situation at hand. When "green infrastructure" makes sense I believe we would advocate for it. In fact we do. When there is not enough room or the topog…

I don't look at our regulating boards here in Virginia as strongly supporting me as a designer or as a member of the community. That has not been my experience and probably a whole other conversation. It may very well be a slippery slope to hand ove…
I don't think that LA's as a whole are better qualified to design these "structures" but I think we are better qualified to Design these "structures". There is more to the design than getting the calculations and math correct. As Design professional…
Anyway you look at it, these things are not designed in isolation. They are some of the trailing parts of an overall site plan rather than the leading parts. It does not seem practical to expect to get work by marketing abilities in a portion of a s…
Well, I would like to know who else gets tested for licensure or certification on things like stormwater, grading and bioretention. As far as I know, LA's are the only ones that have those items as part of their exam. I think you can claim some grou…
I dont think anyone would say that LAs are BETTER suited. I would say that by 'making it work' civil engineers are utilizing calculations and formulas that LAs simply dont use on a regular basis and in general dont have the experience to perform. We…
Would you not agree that when agencies such as the EPA or regulators such as local conservation commissions or planning boards are requiring practices and we are in a position to respond, that we would actually do so simply acting as non-biased prof…
