Introduction
• Permeable pavement is a sustainable
pavement solution.
• Allows rainwater to pass through pavement
layers.
• Reduces surface runoff and water logging.
• Improves groundwater recharge.
Need of Permeable Pavement
• Urban flooding and water logging issues.
• Increased impervious surfaces in cities.
• Environmental sustainability requirements.
• IRC recommendations for modern pavements.
IRC Provisions
• IRC supports use of permeable pavements in
low-volume roads.
• Recommended for parking areas, footpaths
and service roads.
• Design based on traffic load and drainage
capacity.
Typical Pavement Structure
• Permeable concrete or paver blocks on top.
• Bedding layer of coarse sand / grit.
• Granular base layer for storage.
• Filter layer / geotextile.
• Prepared subgrade soil.
Permeable Pavement with Kerb
• Kerb stones provided for edge confinement.
• Improves structural stability.
• Suitable for roads and organized parking
areas.
Permeable Pavement without Kerb
• Blocks interlocked without rigid edge.
• Used in footpaths and low traffic areas.
• Economical and easy to construct.
Drainage Mechanism
• Rainwater infiltrates through joints.
• Stored temporarily in granular base.
• Excess water drained through subgrade or
drain pipe.
• Reduces load on stormwater drains.
Applications
• Parking areas.
• Footpaths and walkways.
• Low volume roads.
• Residential societies and campuses.
Advantages
• Reduces water logging.
• Environment friendly.
• Improves groundwater recharge.
• Easy maintenance and repair.

Design Considerations (IRC Based)
• Traffic category: low to medium volume roads.
• Permeability requirement based on rainfall intensity.
• Structural capacity of base and subgrade.
• Provision of side drainage for excess runoff.
Construction Methodology
• Preparation and compaction of subgrade.
• Laying of asphalt graded bed or granular layer.
• Placement of open graded aggregate base.
• Bedding layer and permeable paver block installation.
Maintenance Aspects
• Regular cleaning of joints to avoid clogging.
• Inspection of side drainage system.
• Replacement of damaged paver blocks.
• Periodic performance evaluation.
Conclusion
• Permeable pavement is an effective sustainable solution.
• Reduces water logging and urban flooding.
• Improves groundwater recharge.
• Highly suitable for Indian urban conditions as per IRC.
