Showcasing best practice

What is the current best practice for permeable paving systems? Hear from our guest speakers about best practice design, construction and maintenance of permeable paving systems both here in South Australia and overseas.

A site tour of the Novar Gardens Bowling and Petanque Club car park’s permeable paving will set the scene for the afternoon. Following the seminar you will have a chance to meet with the suppliers of a range of permeable and porous paving products over networking drinks.

Arlene Nardone will share a series of case studies from South Australia and interstate demonstrating how permeable paving can support the urban greening agenda through the protection of significant trees and working with different base materials.
Permeable paving: The international scene In recent years the UK and USA have moved forward in leaps and bounds in the regulation and application of permeable paving technology. Prof. Simon Beecham will share examples of leading international and commercial scale projects.
Designing permeable paving | DesignPave and other essentials Understanding the latest software available for the design of permeable paving systems can support greater uptake of permeable paving. James Luo will provide a demonstration of recent upgrades to DesignPave, standard design requirements for residential versus commercial developments and designing in proximity to structures.
Change in permeable paving practice over 10 years The role of permeable paving in the City of West Torrens projects and asset management has emerged over time. Andrew King will describe how permeable paving has been integrated into a series of Council projects using varied techniques.
Maintenance and renewal of permeable paving assets The City of Charles Sturt recently reviewed several historical permeable paving assets. Ryan Nelson will explain how performance of these systems had altered over time and describe the actions for maintenance and refurbishment, including costs.
