Porous asphalt is ideal for sites with limited space and projects such as low traffic roads, parking lots, driveways and walkways. Components include: a porous asphalt surface, a stabilizing base aggregate layer, and a sub-base aggregate layer (or stone reservoir) for water storage. Optional components include an underdrain to remove excess water, flow restrictor to control the release rate of the facility, and surface drains to safely convey flows in excess of the storage capacity of the design.
Additional components include an underdrain to remove excess water and surface drains to safely convey flows in excess of the storage capacity of the design.
