EP Webinar Series: Permeable Paver Design, Construction, & Maintenance
Hosted by: Emerging Professionals Committee
Thursday, January 22, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (CST)
Zoom Webinar
This webinar introduces permeable interlocking concrete pavement systems (PICP), and provides guidance on design, construction, and maintenance to improve function and long-term performance. Design is broken down into three categories: Performance; Structural; and Hydrologic. Performance of permeable pavement is tied to the size and geometry of system, and this presentation will provide new parameters to ensure a high-performing system. Structural design follows the Mechanistic-Empirical methodology presented in ASCE Design Standard 68-18. Finally, the methodology presented for hydrologic design will cover CN calculations, slopes, and modeling strategies. Construction and maintenance practices are covered to provide specification guidance to ensure the system is installed and maintained correctly to reduce the cost and frequency of repairs and maintenance.

Paul has over 20 years of experience designing permeable pavements. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and a licensed Professional Engineer in Illinois. Paul designed, permitted, and managed construction on several million square feet of permeable paver projects in Illinois, and previously worked for Oldcastle APG (manufacturer of Belgard Pavers) for 9 years where he provided design assistance on over 30 million square feet of permeable pavement. Paul has provided his expertise editing two chapters of the upcoming ASCE Permeable Pavements Manual update and served as Chair of the Segmental Pavements Technical Subcommittee for the Concrete Masonry & Hardscape Association (CMHA – previously ICPI).
