Presto Geosystems will be hosting a free webinar at 11 a.m. CDT July 22.
As environmental regulations become more stringent, it is increasingly important to incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) and Green Infrastructure (GI) management into project sites. To address this need, innovative methods have been developed that reduce the amount of hard surfaces, such as parking lots, walkways, and emergency access lanes, while protecting areas of environmental significance.
One of these methods is porous pavements, which are both easy to implement and cost-effective. By reducing impervious surfaces on-site, they help restore the natural water cycle and minimize the need for above-ground detention ponds and conveyance infrastructure. Similarly, low-maintenance solutions for stormwater diversion channels, roadside swales and drainage ditches protect against erosion and overflow concerns.
Another effective solution is living green walls, which increase on-site vegetation and promote water filtration from higher elevations. These walls also offer the added benefit of providing access to more valuable land.
Attendees will learn more about how LID and GI practices, including porous pavements and living green walls, can help builders and engineers work with regulators to meet environmental requirements while creating sustainable and resilient project sites.
The webinar will be presented by civil engineer, Sam Justice, PE, of Presto Geosystems and is eligible for 1.0 PDH.
