TRUEGRID PRO PLUS provides employees and customers parking in a gravel reinforced parking lot.
Project Scope
A stormwater drainage test case for permeable plastic paving by Neenan Archistruction. Daily employee and visitor parking traffic in a gravel surface lot.
Solution
The gravel lot solution: The area was excavated down a perforated drain pipe was placed in lowest (east) portion of the lot and connected to a 6" outlet pipe. Concrete curbing and landscape islands were installed. The existing clay subsoils were not compacted to allow for percolation. Different layers of base were placed see figures 1 and 2. TRUEGRID PRO PLUS was placed and connected and SuperSpots were inserted. Clean, uniform, crushed granite fill was used as the surface layer.
TRUE RESULTS
The TRUEGRID PRO PLUS gravel parking section is operating at full capacity most work days. Neenan Archistructure traditionally wants to test out new technologies before recommending to clients. With the success of this installation, they are confident in TRUEGRID's use for their clients.
Neenan Archistruction prefers surface treatment and storage for stormwater management-- such as porous pavement detention -- over other methods.
