Porous Pavement Design and Construction Seminar Series

The Virginia Asphalt Association is hosting a series of Seminars that provide engineers, specifiers and practitioners with valuable information on how to design and build pavements with today's "green" approach to infrastructure. The first of these seminars on designing and constructing Porous Asphalt Pavements was held in Williamsburg on April 24, 2008. The second in the series, also on porous pavements, was held in Northern Virginia on June 11, 2008. Contact the VAA office for more information on the use of porous asphalt pavements to help protect the environment and earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Credits.
