I\u2019m constantly asked how much pervious concrete is being placed in the US on a yearly basis and I typically respond with \u201cI have no idea\u201d. As I\u2019ve retired from contracting, I haven\u2019t been in the field for the past few years, so for while I lost touch with the market. However, I\u2019ve been working for the NPCPA\u00a0for a full year now, and what started out as getting a call every other week from someone looking for help on a project, has now become a daily event,\u00a0at least one call on a pervious concrete project every day. I get so many now that I don\u2019t have time to respond like I used to and I have to direct them to the website to find a contractor.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure part of this is due from awareness that\u00a0NPCPA\u00a0exists, but the major reason is that the pervious market is exploding. It\u2019s not just the number of jobs I get calls about; it\u2019s the size of them. During the last two months, just three of these projects alone (one in the SE, one in CA, and one in the NE) total over 4 million sf. Never before have I seen the number of projects planned and projects of this size. Will 2012 be the year we top 10 million SF?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
