Belgard AquaBric Demonstration

We received this video link earlier in the week from one of our local reps showing the intense rate of infiltration pervious pavers can accommodate. The area was flooded at a rate of 530 gallons per minute and only stretched over a 150 sf area. The video does more than I can say, be sure to pass it along to your local Public Works departments (the guys who really need to see it!).

May '09 update - Columbus, OH

We uploaded May's update earlier in the month. My apologies for the delay in getting these up in a blog post. Sites visited include the Arena District dowtown, including Burnham Square and North Bank Park, Easton Town Center, and South Campus Gateway near the OSU campus. I also caught the Creekside Gahanna just outside of Columbus, a suburban redevelopment into a town center for Gahanna. Hopefully soon I can get back up to C-bus and get one of the guys at MSI to give me a tour of some of their other projects (involved in the Arena District, Burnham Square, and North Bank Park, as well as Creekside Gahanna).
