Prairie is taking a leadership role in the development and promotion
of pervious concrete for the Midwest market.
Training and Education. Prairie is partnering with the Illinois Ready Mix Concrete Association
to provide NRMCA training
and certification for contractors to ensure they learn the proper
placement, testing, finishing and curing techniques for
pervious concrete.
Pilot Programs. Prairie is actively working
with the City of Chicago to provide pervious concrete for its Green
Alley program. Chicago’s DOT is investigating alternative
sustainable solutions for flooding and stormwater management in
its 1,900 miles of public alleys.
Research. Prairie is one of 10
concrete producers across the country chosen by CTL Group to submit
pervious concrete
samples to determine if pervious concrete will be able to achieve
the LEEDS 2.2 reflectivity credit.
