Pervious Concrete at Hoover Reservoir, Columbus, Ohio

The City of Columbus, Ohio received $4.5M in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding to improve and protect water quality and safety of the three drinking water reservoirs through Green Infrastructure Best Management Practices (GI BMPs) improvements such as bioretention, pervious pavements, rain gardens and restoration efforts. Williams Creek Consulting helped design the GI BMP improvement projects to serve the dual purpose of water quantity and quality control, and public park landscape and safety improvement.

It's held in freeze thaw climates such as Chicago and the NE. Momentive's innovative pervious additive (HexiCrete PC-350) eliminates the need for plastic/visquine covering during curing
