As a result of climate change, both periods of drought and extreme precipitation occur more frequently. The recent floods in Europe made us face up to the facts and stressed the importance of integrated water management. Solutions include sustainable road surfacing that is permeable to water, that can store the water in the road structure and allow it to infiltrate into the subsurface or to be slowed down and drained to a nearby infiltration facility or sewer system. Concrete offers various possibilities, both with prefabricated elements and cast in situ. With in-situ concrete, there are solutions in draining (porous) concrete and in classic concrete with drainage openings.

This workshop will give an overview of research, practical experiences and innovations in different European countries. It is intended for experts coming from Road Agencies, Engineering Bureaus, Contractors who have an interest in the design, construction and maintenance of pervious concrete pavements.
