Porous Pavement Hydrologic Modeling
In this class you will learn:
- where to safely locate porous pavement (soils, proximity to structures, groundwater table, etc)
- how to hydrologically model porous pavement
- how to use an open source Excel sheet model applicable to Western Oregon, and
- how to design porous pavement so that what you build functions the way you modeled it.
- Relative costs and techniques associated with retrofits and new development
- Construction and maintenance considerations to protect long-term permeability
- The difference between porous pavements on new construction versus retrofits
This class is relevant to porous asphalt, pervious concrete, permeable pavers, and permeable gravel surfaces for pedestrian or vehicular loading.
What you will not learn: Structural pavement design
Who should attend: This class would appear to be geared towards designers/civil engineers, but explanations will be detailed and clear so that almost anyone can perform at least preliminary hydrologic modeling to assess costs & feasibility.
What to bring (optional): Do you have a current project that is considering porous pavement? Whether it's new construction or a retrofit, bring a plan or set of plans and we'll use this in our breakout session.
Time: 9:00 am - 11 am
Date: Monday, Jan 23, 2011
Location: Rogue Valley Council of Governements office (http://www.rvcog.org/mn.asp?pg=contact_us)
Cost of class: $20
Continuing education credits: This is a detailed, technical class that is very likely to meet your continuing education needs; however, it is not specifically approved by any particular licensing organizations.
Registration is through Pay Pal (below) or you can mail me a check, made payable to "Green Girl".

This web site was designed with a black background and white text because a rumor was spread by Blackle that it reduced greenhouse gas emissions, but that turned out to be a big fat lie debunked by actual experimentation AND... people had trouble reading my website, so I changed it to white. It's still hosted by Dreamhost, a carbon neutral company. Please consider the environment when printing this or mailing me things or traveling to see me for a meeting or... ohhhh, just do your best and change your practices when you learn something new.
