WOW ! Impressive. You know your stuff. 🙏

What kind of fibers are you willing to use to increase intergrity?

Is this method of paver installation viable in northern climates with heavy clay soil? My concern would be in the winter time the pores would fill with water and freeze up before being able to drain out. repeated freeze and thaw cycles like this I can't see as being a good thing.

Hello, thanks for the question/concern you have over this method of installation. So based on some research and also talking with Paver Pete on the matter, it shouldn't matter. To explain, the geothermal heat that is underground is almost always at a constant temperature. This will help water go through the base and then to the exfiltration pipe which will then lead out to the environment. So even if you see piles of snow or ice form on top of pavement, as soon as it starts to melt, the water should go down and not cause any issues in the longterm. This project you see here was also built in a heavy clay soil in the south shore of Montreal. If you need more information or clarification, please do not hesitate! We'd love to help you out!

@@techobloc Thanks for the detailed reply, and getting in touch with Paver Pete! One of my colleagues I graduated with at Purdue said he spent a day with her firm in Pittsburgh a month or so back which was very helpful. We had a job we were looking at about a month back that clients wanted a permeable system on, but with the layout of the site I couldn't se how we were going to get any fall away from the drainage under the patio, so I was just very concerned about the drainage. Thanks again.

The problem is the porous concrete must be used such that the water is made to go to the underground water bodies instead of connecting to a drain pipe that again goes the same place as before.

it does, the drains are for excess water, excess water that would exist regardless of the driveway being there or not

I very much appreciate the use of a system which uses permeable surfacing and seems to be done very well. However, when I see new home construction such as this it just reminds me that this is (or highly looks like) exactly the lifestyle referred to when discussing how human consumption (especially western) just isn't sustainable and causing huge environmental impacts we have to deal with now. Pavement permeability is but one small issue we have to address to ensure a future where it's an option to have the kind of comforts we enjoy today.

6:13 that is not 6 mil plastic... Probably 4 mil. It's blowing in the wind way too easily. edit: I work with 6 mil poly every day.

How long is the lifespan of a frequently heavy trafficked project like this? How much more doe this cost than alternative options and how much plastic is used in the whole process that stays in the ground? I would like to know because I am a student looking at water management techniques with considerations for the environment and we already have too much plastic in the environment.

It is possible to put it without any plastic in the ground. I don't like their method either. It speeds up a process a bit, but is wasteful and as you said created pollution. A better option is to use plastic guides from the top (similar to what is used with the terakota tails on walls), or specially designed shape of bricks, to make them self aligning with proper distances.
