Design intent only survives if it gets built right. This session moves past the surface material to the full system: base prep, drainage, bedding technology (including permeable pavement, and trass-based systems most US firms haven't encountered), and joint detailing engineered to perform through freeze-thaw and decades of foot traffic not just to pass inspection day.
Learning Outcomes:
Explain how permeable natural stone pavement systems manage stormwater while supporting long-term structural performance.
Identify the functions of bedding materials, base preparation, drainage layers, and jointing systems within permeable pavement assemblies.
Evaluate design and installation practices that minimize common pavement failures and improve durability.
Apply construction detailing strategies that support resilient, maintainable, and code-compliant hardscape systems.
