Why Porous Asphalt?
• Can earn credits under the LEED® System. • Has been shown to mitigate the urban heat island effect. • Provides storm-water management systems that promote infiltration. • Has a typical life span of more than 20 years. • Underlying stone bed tends to absorb and retain heat so ice and snow melt faster with the Porous mixture. • Typical pavement design for light duty and heavy duty performance.
