- PICP: 4 inches of AASHTO No. 57 base and AASHTO No.2, 3 or 4 stone subbase
|
Stone layer thickness based on the pavement structural and hydraulic requirements. Stonewashed and free of fines. Recommended minimum void ratio = 0.4. |
Underdrain (optional) |
Use 4 to 6 inch diameter perforated PVC (AASHTO M-252) pipe or corrugated polyethylene pipe. Perforated pipe installed for the full length of the permeable pavement cell, and non-perforated pipe, as needed,connected to storm drainage system. |
Filter Layer (optional) |
Sand filter layeris separated from base above and native soils with geotextile. Sand layer typically ASTM C33 gradation, 6 to 12 inches thick. |
The sand layer may require a choker layer on surface to provide transition to base layerstone. |
Geotextile(optional) |
Comply with AASHTO M-288 Standard Specification for Geotextile Specification for Highway Applications, drainage and separation applications, Class I or II. Porous asphalt industry recommends non-woven geotextile. |
Impermeable Liner |
Use a minimum 30mil PVC liner covered by 12 ounce/square yard non-woven geotextile. EPDM andHDPE liner material is also acceptable. |
Observation Well |
Use a perforated 4 to 6 inch vertical PVC pipe (AASHTO M-252) with a lockable cap, installedflush with the surface (or under pavers). |
