The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) announces the newest addition to its popular Tech Spec technical bulletins, Tech Spec 18: Construction of Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement Systems.

Tech Spec 18 covers PICP components, benefits, recommended sites and important characteristics, sites to avoid, functional descriptions for full, partial and no exfiltration systems, design considerations and a step-by-step description of the construction process which is also summarized in a convenient check list.
