From the Chairman:
Heading into Our Third Decade – Looking Back and Forward
With our strategic plan goals in mind, 2015 saw the launch of new programs and initiatives while maintaining
successful ones. At the top of the list is a Board Special committee recommending that ICPI develop design and
construction resources for paving slabs. This initiative positions ICPI to better represent this part of the industry
now experiencing unprecedented growth in residential and commercial markets. The annual ICPI Industry Sales
Survey for 2014 indicates that paving slab sales are about 16% of total concrete segmental paving unit production,
up from 14% in 2013. This is complemented by 11.1% growth for pavers in the U.S. and Canada in 2014.
To support this growth, the ICPI Foundation funded finite element modeling research on paving slab and planks
to develop structural design charts. With input from the Technical and Construction Committees, design and
construction guidance will be published in Tech Specs in 2016. This initiative includes development of an ASTM
product standard for paving slabs.
The ICPI website experienced a complete renovation showcasing a streamlined and inspiring way to use the association’s resources. The redesign allows designers, contractors and homeowners to obtain information, resources
and ideas pertinent to them. This remake provides an opportunity to improve navigation, update databases and
technical information. The ease of use makes the ICPI website the premier online technical resource for paving
system users and for members.
The Hardscape North America trade show exhibition continues to grow with support from the Distributors’ Day
Workshop, ICPI installer certification classes, project awards, many outdoor demonstrations, the installer competition, and synergy from the GIE+ EXPO. HNA showcases products and equipment aimed at mostly residential
contractors who install over 75% of all concrete paving products. The challenge ahead is ever expanding exhibitors
while maintaining a fresh, relevant and innovative show program that brings back past attendees while attracting
first timers. At the ICPI Summer Meeting, an HNA Strategic Planning Session provided a range of ideas and initiatives to help achieve this.
On the U.S. legislative front, we are pleased that a five year transportation bill was passed. Continued PaverPAC
support underscores legislation providing technology transfer of permeable pavements to state departments of
transportation. We have presented programs on permeable pavement the national level for FHWA and to state
DOTs in Ohio and Colorado. We will continue to expand presentations to more states DOTs via the FHWA Local
Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). In Canada, we have found the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to be the
place to present stormwater runoff solutions with permeable interlocking concrete pavements.
The ICPI Foundation for Education and Research continues supporting ICPI by providing much needed research
from structural research for PICP at University of California – Davis to Segmental Paving Slab Modeling/Structural
Analysis. These research projects have given us groundbreaking technical data to present to engineers and municipal officials at regional programs sponsored by members in such locations as the University of New Hampshire and
the City of Toronto.
Speaking of strategic planning, every three years, ICPI revisits and updates its strategic plan. The 2015 Summer
Meeting general session included a brainstorming session among 150 members on new ideas and directions.
These were included in the mix when the Strategic Planning Committee met in Chicago in the Fall to update the
vision and mission statements, and develop overall objectives for the next three years. These will be presented to
the members and Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting. As I conclude my chairmanship in early 2016, I look back with appreciation for everyone’s support that enabled
us to accomplish much over the past two years. We have some great opportunities ahead and I look forward to
advancing the leading association on segmental concrete paving systems with you. Sincerely,
David Pitre
ICPI Board Chair

Commercial Market Promotion and Education
The commercial market includes specified projects for commercial, municipal, institutional, industrial uses, as well as single and multi-family housing developments. ICPI’s
strategic plan focuses on expanding these markets as designers and project owners
look to trade association for technical support affirming and sometimes expanding
on a supplier’s information. Along these lines, staff and members supported a range
of activities in 2015. Direct support was provided to provincial, state and municipal
agencies in developing permeable pavement design guidelines. Agencies supported
with technical information and guidance included the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, Caltrans, District of Columbia Department of
Transportation, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the Denver Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District, and many U.S. and Canadian municipalities.

Presentations for Design Professionals
ICPI presentations provide an excellent salesthrough-education opportunity to design
professionals and city officials. Offering these
presentations is an effective way to build
longstanding customer relationships. Most design
professionals must earn continuing education
credits to maintain their professional licenses. All ICPI
presentations are registered with AIA, ASLA and/or
GBCI and each provides one continuing education
hour. In 2015, ICPI members and staff delivered
ICPI presentations to approximately 865 design
professionals across the U.S. and Canada.
Commercial Sales Course
Back for a third year, ICPI with NCMA presented
Commercial Sales Course in Chicago taught by Jay Womack, ASLA
an education program for sales representatives
supporting the commercial market. The course
improves technical knowledge and collaborative
interaction with design professionals, developers and municipal officials. Content includes presentations by two engineers and two landscape
architects, an overview of competitive systems and technical background on interlocking and permeable interlocking concrete pavements,
segmental retaining walls and articulating concrete block. Related software, product specifications, plan review and bidding procedures are
also covered. The course held December 1-3, 2015 in Chicago, IL saw 34 attendees. We anticipate additional information on paving slab design
and construction at future schools.
LTAP Technical Support
Jointly funded by the Federal Highway Administration, state universities and some State Departments of Transportation, the Local Technical
Assistance Program (LTAP) provides technical support and training to state and local road agencies. ICPI has been welcomed into this
community thanks to national legislation encouraging technology transfer of permeable pavements to states and cities. LTAP is emerging as a
superb platform for increasing awareness of permeable pavements.
In April 2015, ICPI presented at a seminar attended by 150 municipal officials on permeable pavements organized by the Ohio LTAP, Ohio
DOT and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This led to ICPI staff invited to give a brief presentation at the national LTAP conference
of some 300 LTAP staff from most states across the U.S. ICPI offered permeable pavement seminars for LTAP training. Interest in conducting
presentations was expressed by Colorado, Nebraska, New Jersey and Florida LTAPs. The presentation resulted in ICPI participating in a
permeable pavements seminar organized by the Colorado LTAP in December 2015. ICPI will reach out to other LTAPs in 2016.
PCA’s 2015 Professors Workshop
More than 30 professors from around the country participated July 20-24 at the PCA offices in Skokie, Illinois. The workshop provides
engineering, architecture, and construction management faculty tools to teach the latest developments in concrete design, construction
and materials. Attendees chose from three tracks: Concrete Materials Properties; Engineering and Economics of Concrete Buildings; Design,
Construction; and Performance of Concrete. Robert Bowers, P.Eng, ICPI’s Director of Engineering, presented to 12 university professors on
ICPI, interlocking concrete pavements and permeable interlocking concrete pavements. ICPI co-sponsored the event with several other
organizations.

Hardscape North America Expands in 2015
More than 2,000 hardscape contractors, dealers and retailers attended the Hardscape North America (HNA) trade show held October
21 – 23, 2015 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, KY. HNA welcomed 45 exhibitors in 2015, making it the largest show ever for
the hardscape industry. Co-locating with GIE+EXPO (Green Industry & Equipment Expo) provided HNA exhibitor’s exposure to over 9,300
landscape and hardscape professionals. HNA attendance grew 4.5% over the 2014 show and resulted in a 9.5% increase in exhibit booth
sales and a 13.5% increase in the total exhibitor square footage.
Dealer Program
This year the Dealer Program, “Ideas for Dealers Big and Small,” helped dealers jump-start their businesses through a fast-paced program
featuring industry experts. The program introduced HNA’s very first Keynote Speaker, Steve McClatchy, who spoke on “Leading Change and
Driving Improved Results.” Following the Keynote, five speakers presented sessions on Marketing, Operations, HR, and Sales. Immediately
following the program, dealers and distributors visited the tradeshow floor for an exclusive preview of HNA and GIE+EXPO.
HNA Installer Championship
The HNA Installer Championship tests and recognizes the skill, dedication and passion of hardscape contractors from North America. Each
team that competes in the championship has their understanding of industry best practices and guidelines, safety, quality and craftsmanship tested in a race against the clock and other top installers.
In its third year, the HNA Installer Championship was again a huge success. D & B, a team with members from Cooper Pavers of Mannington, NJ and Decorative Paving of Loveland OH, took home the Best of the Best Hardscape Champion Award after competing with
fourteen other talented teams. D & B received a prize package valued at approximately $10,000 which included $1,000 cash, an iQ360 14 in.

INDUSTRY SALES PROFILE
Annual Sales Survey Indicates Rising Sales
New home construction, acceleration in sales of existing homes, an increase in construction spending by the public sector, and an increase in
commercial construction all contributed to a steady growth year in 2015
for the U.S. and Canadian segmental concrete pavement industry. This
year’s survey respondents included 26 manufacturing companies with
an average 13.3% increase in all paving products from 2013 to 2014. Projecting sales from this data, overall sales increased about just over 11%.
For the U.S., the annual industry sales survey indicated an 11.6% increase in segmental
concrete paving production in 2014 expanding from 463.2 million to 516.9 million square
feet. In Canada, segmental concrete paving production increased by 8.1% from 78.9 million
to 85.3 million square feet. The total 2014 U.S. and Canadian segmental paving market is
estimated at 602 million square feet.
In the U.S. per capita consumption increased from 1.5 sf in 2013 to 1.6 sf while the U.S.
population grew by approximately 5 million (from 314 to 319 million) over the previous
year. In Canada, per capita consumption increased from 2.3 sf in 2013 to 2.4 sf while population grew by approximately 1 million (from 34 to 35 million) over the previous year.
With 79.3% of all sales, the residential market continues to be a primary driver for
segmental concrete pavement sales. Commercial sales, which includes municipal and
industrial, claimed an increased share of 20.7% in 2014. This survey was the first year paving
slab sales data was collected. At 56 million sf surveyed, it represents a substantial portion of
total production.
Marking 25% growth among survey respondents, permeable interlocking concrete
pavement continues high annual growth to meet national, provincial, state and local
regulations for reducing stormwater runoff. A significant increase in PICP sales likely can be
attributed to municipal agencies under the court-ordered consent decrees implementing
PICP to reduce combined sewer overflows.

Industry Standards
ICPI staff participates on ASTM and CSA committees governing paving product standards, and is developing an ASCE/ANSI standard guide on
PICP design, construction and maintenance. ICPI’s member and staff participation on ASTM and CSA committees has led to improvements in
existing paver standards and test methods, and creation of new ones.
ASTM
In 2015, ICPI supported ASTM approval of changes to:
• C936 – Providing an optional lower temperature of -15 degrees C when for freeze-thaw durability testing in a saline solution to increase
assurance of field performance subject to deicers
• C1645 – Fine tuning this test method for freeze-thaw durability includes clarity on measuring mass lost after and conversion to an all
metric standard for easier use by testing labs.
• Development of a new product standard for segmental concrete paving slabs
• Continued development of a test method for measuring surface roughness of sidewalks for acceptance by wheelchair users
• ASTM published Product Category Rules for Segmental Concrete Paving Products (see ICPI Foundation report for details)
CSA
The 2nd edition of CSA A231 was published in 2014 and will remain in effect for five years. The CSA A231 Committee will reassemble to
review the standard in 2018 and determine if any modifications are warranted. The standard provides guidance on slabs and pavers.
ICPI Technical Bulletins Revised
Tech Spec 3: Edge Restraints for Interlocking Concrete Pavements
Te c h S p e c 3
Edge Restraints for Interlocking Concrete Pavements
Introduction
Edge restraints are an essential component of interlocking
concrete pavements. Restraints hold the pavers tightly together, enabling consistent interlock of the units across the
entire pavement. They prevent spreading of the pavers from
horizontal forces from traffic. Edge restraints are designed
to remain stationary while receiving impacts during installation, from vehicles and from freeze-thaw cycles.
The following is a discussion of methods of restraining
concrete pavers placed on bedding sand and installed on a
flexible or rigid base.
Design Considerations
Edge pavers

Figure 1. Change in laying pattern direction
Edge pavers

Figure 2. Change in paver shape.
Restraints are required along the perimeter of interlocking
concrete pavements or where there is a change in the pavement material. For example, when a laying pattern changes
direction, there may be a need for an edge paver to act as a
restraint (Figure 1). When a paver shape changes within an
area of paver, the edge paver at the end of each pattern can
serve as a restraint (Figure 2). Vertical walls of buildings can
also provide a suitable restraint.
Some edge restraints require spiking to a flexible aggregate base. The rule of thumb is the base should extend
beyond the restraint at least the same dimension as the
thickness of the base material. For example, a 6 in. (150 mm)
thick base should extend at least 6 in. (150 mm) beyond
the spikes in the restraints. This contributes stability to the
restraint especially in soils subject to heaving. Soil backfill is
never a suitable edge restraint and edge restraints should
never be installed on top of the bedding sand.
When installing an edge restraint on an existing rigid
concrete base there are two methods typically used: direct
fastened, or drilled and anchored. In a direct fastened
system an explosive charge is used to drive the fastener into
the solid concrete base. When using the drill and anchor
method, holes must be drilled through the edge restraint
(unless pre-drilled) and into the concrete to a sufficient
depth. There are several “anchor” manufacturers and types
available:

Mechanical Installation of
Interlocking Concrete Pavements
Mechanical installation originated in Germany and the
Netherlands in the late 1970s. The growth of street, port,
and airport projects required timely installation with fewer
workers. Machines were developed to increase productivity while reducing fatigue and injury (1–4). Today, over 5,000
mechanical installation machines operate in Germany alone
with thousands more in use throughout Europe. They are
used for projects as small as 10,000 sf (1,000 m2) (5).
Mechanical equipment was first introduced in North
America in the early 1980s. The first mechanically installed
project was placed in 1981, a 1,000,000 sf (93,000 m2) container terminal in Calgary, Alberta. Since then, hundreds of
commercial, municipal, port, and airport jobs have been
installed mechanically in most states and provinces across
North America. Some examples include city streets in
Dayton, Ohio (the first mechanically installed street in the
U.S.) (6); Cincinnati, Ohio; Toronto, Ontario; Northbrook, Il-
linois; Naples, Florida; and Palm Desert, California; container
yards in Tampa, Baltimore, and Oakland; and an airfield at St.
Augustine, Florida.
Mechanical installation must be viewed as a system of
material handling from manufacture to on-site placement
of the concrete pavers. This technical bulletin provides
guidelines for the manufacturer, designer, and contractor
of mechanically installed pavements in order to realize high
efficiencies from this system of material handling. Successful mechanical installation relies on four factors that affect
efficiency and costs. These include:
1. Equipment specifically designed to
efficiently handle
(a) transport of packaged concrete pavers
onto/around the site,
(b) screeding of bedding sand,
(c) installation of the concrete pavers.
This technical bulletin was revised to
include information on edge restraints for
rigid bases as well as a recommendation
that a minimum of 1 in. (25 mm) vertical restraining surface should be in contact with
the side of the paver. Recommendations
on troweled reinforced mortar edge were
clarified noting that caution should be
used when selecting troweled reinforced
mortared restraints in freezing climates.

Achieving LEED Credits with Segmental Concrete Pavement
Tech Spec 15: A Guide for the Specification of Mechanically Installed
The document was update to increase
the minimum mock-up area from a minimum of 100 sq. ft. to a minimum of 600
sq. ft. or 6 cubes of pavers. A statement
was also included directing designers to
consider using a coarser jointing sand
for paver applications with wider joint
widths up to ¼ in. (6 mm) and paver
thicknesses of 4 in. (100 mm) or greater.
Tech Spec 16: Achieving LEED
Credits with Segmental Concrete
Pavements
Initiated in 1998 by the U.S. Green Building Council, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED supports an
ethos of energy and material conservation in building and site design, construction and operation. LEED evolved through
several updates to version 4 (v4) released in late 2013. LEED supports creating environments that enhance human existence and natural processes. One of the primary motivations of LEED is to influence building design and codes toward zero
environmental impacts, particularly concerning carbon emissions. Figure 1 explains this evolution, past, present and future.
Buildings and sites consist of tens of thousands of products that compose various systems. Among many things, LEED helps
achieve project design goals via product/system selection that supports cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness and
social responsibility. For the site, pavement can be a significant investment with positive or negative economic, environmental
and social impacts. In support of positive impacts, this technical bulletin focuses on LEED v4 credits supported by using products
from the family of segmental concrete pavement. This family includes interlocking concrete pavement, permeable interlocking
concrete pavement (PICP), paving slabs, and concrete grid pavements
LEED v4 provides ten credit categories from which projects can earn points toward certification. Pavement decisions typically
focus on three credit categories: Sustainable Sites, Materials and Resources, and Water Efficiency. Open space, rain water management, and heat island mitigation credits are under Sustainable Sites. Materials and Resources credits have seen significant
changes and these are presented later.
Since its release late last year, LEED
version 4 introduces new credits and
existing ones that can be supported by
segmental concrete paving products
and systems. This 20-page publication
explains changes from the previous
LEED versions and how the updated
LEED Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency and Materials & Resources credit
categories can take advantage of features of interlocking and permeable
interlocking pavements, concrete grid pavements and paving slab
systems. Special attention is given to credits on rainwater management,
urban heat island reduction and environmental product declarations.

Government Affairs
Representing the concrete paver industry, ICPI continues implementing legislative and regulatory lobbying initiatives benefiting member business interests. A central feature of ICPI’s lobbying
activities is to indelibly brand permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) as an environmentally friendly, “green” technology that can provide substantial stormwater runoff reduction, reduce
flooding, improve water quality by enhancing filtration of stormwater runoff, retain local hydrology,
and facilitate municipal low impact development objectives. ICPI is urging Congress and key federal
agencies that PICP can play a major role in emerging, evolving federal policies to improve the environment, and should be promoted and integrated in federal policy.
Transportation Authorization Passes; Action Shifts to THUD Appropriations
At press time, the House and Senate have passed the FAST Act. At this writing, ICPI members, staff and consultants have engaged a conference
call to discuss concepts to propose to the THUD Appropriations Committees. The first meeting with THUD Appropriations Committee staff is
scheduled for mid-December, prior to the holiday adjournment.
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) and Cong. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ) worked very closely with ICPI in the lead up to the FAST Act, the reauthorization
of the Transportation Bill. Cong. LoBiondo introduced a supportive statement regarding PICP in The Congressional Record as part of the FAST
Act debate and legislative history that the Appropriations Committees will use in determining funding for FHWA.
OSHA to Publish Final Silica Regulation as Soon as February 2016
At press time, OSHA has stated in the federal government’s Unified Agenda that it intends to publish a final rule on silica exposure as early as
February 2016.
ICPI supports a funding amendment by Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) offered an amendment to the FY2016 Labor, HHS, Education Appropriations bill that would require OSHA to engage in two new efforts:
(1) convene a new Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) panel to fully assess the economic impact of
the proposed rule on small businesses, and
(2) conduct a separate independent review by the National Academy of Sciences.
ICPI signed a joint industry letter supporting the Hoeven Amendment which was accepted in committee. ICPI signed a new letter making
the same arguments in late November 2015 as House and Senate negotiators were considering an end-of-year package of appropriations bills.
A Continuing Resolution/ Omnibus is the most likely vehicle to constrain OSHA from full-scale implementation once the final rule is published.
WOTUS Rule Faces Court, Political Opposition, but has Continuing Impact
The U.S. Corps of Engineers and U.S. EPA finalized and signed the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule into effect on May 27 in a ceremony backdropped by the Anacostia River and Navy Yard in Washington DC. ICPI was invited to attend the signing and did so.
States and other opponents of the WOTUS rule filed suit in federal court requesting a stay until the court may consider legal challenges to
the rule. However, the mere existence of the rule, and the clear determination demonstrated by EPA and the U.S. Corps of Engineers to pursue
this issue, make it a prudent practice for state and local governments, and the private sector, to ramp up their efforts to mitigate stormwater
runoff. ICPI can adopt this message and, of course, offer PICP as a ready safe-harbor solution.
Immigration and the H-2B Worker visa program, DHS/DOL rules
Immigration has developed into a key issue in the 2016 Presidential election and has actually expanded into a national security issue based
upon the San Bernardino terrorism shootings. At the moment, it is a campaign issue but not much more. We do not expect major changes to
the H-2B worker visa program until another President occupies the Oval Office.
Depreciation Bonus and Section 179 Provisions Possibly on FY2016 Funding Compromise
At press time, House and Senate negotiators are putting the final touches on an end-of-year spending plan that may include extensions of
bonus depreciation and/or higher limits for Section 179 expensing in the U.S. tax code.
Congress Passes Trade Bill to Reduce “Red Tape” in Cross-Border Trade
The heart of the legislation is facilitation. Part of the bill is designed to allow goods and business executives to move more freely across the
borders for legitimate business and trade activity. As an international trade association with members conducting cross-border trade, ICPI
supported the bill.

PaverPAC to See Increased Requests for Campaign Help in 2016
2016 will indeed be a crucial election season with the White House, all House seats, and one-third of the Senate seats up for election. ICPI and
PaverPAC use highly targeted efforts supporting Members of Congress who have demonstrated knowledge, appreciation and support for a
growing ICP industry.
PaverPAC is in strong condition as a tool to support ICPI’s legislative activities on Capitol Hill, but PACs require constant, ongoing maintenance. As we begin to see greater campaign attention from candidates with respect to the 2016 elections, we anticipate many more invitations
for PaverPAC. It can respond well and with frequency, but strong PAC reception attendance and member support is essential.
Canadian Government Relations Subcommittee
ICPI continues to work with the FCM Corporate Partnership, including participation in the Sustainability
Conference Feb. 10-12, 2015 in London, ON and FCM Annual Meeting, June 5-7, 2015 in Edmonton, AB.
ICPI held a PICP training session for the City of Toronto with 120 attendees and sponsored by seven members.ICPI and PICP presented at the Transportation Association of Canada’s Annual Meeting Sept. 27, 2015.
PICP presentations were held in Guelph, ON Oct 15 and North Bay, ON Oct 29. Staff met with the City of
North Bay Public Works Director to discuss the maintenance of their ICP Main street which is over 30 years
old and the basis of a case study, life cycle cost research and articles in the Interlock Design magazine.

ICPI Foundation for Education and Research
The ICPI Foundation for Education and Research advances knowledge in interlocking concrete
pavement through technical research and development of education programs. In 2015, several
research projects were of note that support industry development and technical expertise.
Paving Slab Structural Design is First for the U.S. and Canada
Segmental Paving Slab Modeling/Structural Analysis – Concrete paving slabs are units that require two or more hands to install. These units are
seeing increased use in residential, commercial and municipal applications especially with some exposure to vehicular traffic. Applied Research
Associates, Inc. developed pavement thickness recommendations for paving slabs, thin paving units and paving planks. The recommendations are for various bedding, base and soil types. The project reviewed international research and design literature, and then conducted finite
element modeling. The charts will be included in an ICPI Tech Spec on paving slabs structural design.
Designer Confidence Raised with Validation of PICP
Subbase Thickness Design Charts
University of California Davis PICP Full-Scale, Accelerated Load Tests – The final
report posted on UC Davis.edu website include PICP subbase thickness design
charts that validate those published by ICPI in 2011 based on the AASHTO 1993
flexible pavement design method. A benefit of the UC Davis design charts is they
provide thinner and more economical subbases in semi-arid climates since subbase
thicknesses are based on the number days with water in it. The research report was
presented to Caltrans on July 29, 2015 and Caltrans agreed to include the UC Davis
design charts in their Pervious Pavements Design Guide. The design charts will be in
the draft ASCE PICP national design standard expected in 2016. The UC Davis work is
being published and presented at various conferences including ASCE and the 2015
International Conference on Concrete Block Paving in Dresden, Germany.
PICP Works in Low-Infiltration Clay Soils
North Carolina State University PICP Monitoring Research – Multiple studies have
shown PICP is an effective tool to improve stormwater runoff hydrology and water quality even when sited over high infiltration soils. This project researched PICP
efficacy over nearly impermeable soils (approximately 0.01 in/hr or 0.254 mm/hr) or in
Durham, NC from March 2014 through April 2015. Four parking stalls (540 ft2 or 50 m2)
were retrofitted with PICP with a very small contributing impervious area. PICP design
followed design guidelines outlined in Chapter 18 of the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) BMP manual.
Results through 13 months of monitoring indicated 22% volume reduction via
subgrade infiltration and evaporation. Inter-event infiltration of water within the 6 inch
(150 mm) thick subbase created storage to capture over 70% of the runoff volume
from storm events less than 0.30 inches and peak flows were significantly reduced by a
median of 84%.
This small PICP in Durham, NC demonstrated PICP’s
ability to work in low infiltration clay soils

Supporting Landscape Architects Need for Landscape Performance Instruction at Universities
Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) mini-grants to teach landscape performance – Ten university landscape architecture programs
were granted money to teach landscape performance, document the syllabus, class/studio assignments, student deliverables and reflections.
This project accelerates awareness and practice of evaluating the performance of landscape designs as landscape architecture professional
practice is using this approach in selling services and in the design process. These deliverables are posted on the LAF landscape performance
website at landscapeperformance.org/ resources-for-educators. LAF hosted a webinar on these deliverables and recording is available for
review. The material includes some performance evaluations of PICP and ICP. Overall, there is a wide range of models used by students to characterize landscape performance by practicing landscape architects, academics and students.
Articulating Landscape Performance of Segmental Concrete Paving Systems
Enhancing the LAF Landscape Performance Series Website with Performance of Segmental Concrete Pavements – A three-year grant supports
expansion of this website to include information and instruction on measuring performance of segmental pavements. This includes providing
case study ideas, curating case study collections, providing input on social media and blogs, and development of online learning modules for
on measuring performance of segmental paving products.
Better Testing and Design Guidelines for PICP
PICP Hydraulics Research by the University of Missouri – Two master’s students designed and built a
laboratory flow testing device to measure the horizontal inflow and overflow from PICP. Numerous tests
were conducted on PICP with 6, 10 and 12.5 mm joints
and No. 8 and 9 jointing aggregates at various slopes.
Testing included clogging studies with high concentrations of total suspended solids. Some of the discoveries
and design insights:
• Horizontal inflow rates across PICP surfaces is 1135% lower than vertical infiltration rate measured
using ASTM C1781 Standard Test Method for Surface
Infiltration Rate of Permeable Unit Pavement Systems.
Differences are higher for 6 mm wide joints.
• After maintenance, about recapture of near initial
infiltration rates are lower for 6 mm wide joints
after cleaning than wider joints.
• 6 mm wide joints infiltrate well up to 2% slope;
wider joints advised at higher slopes.
• 6 mm joints with No. 9 aggregates clog five times
faster than 12. 5 mm joints with No. 8 aggregates.
• 10 and 12.5 mm wide joints indicate little difference in horizontal & vertical flows at any slope.
• 45° herringbone has slightly lower infiltration than
90°.
• Deliverables include an Excel tool that determines
the hydraulic characteristics a site can attain.
14
Laboratory testing of the infiltration capacity of PICP helped develop new
design guidance.
Product Category Rules
The PCR is posted on ASTM’s website under Certifications. The PCR was enhanced with a guidance document for paver manufacturers on creating life cycle
assessments and environmental product declarations.
Additionally, deliverables included a cycle inventory
tool (Excel sheet) for manufacturers to use in preparing
for a life cycle assessment and environmental product
declarations. This accompanies the guidance document
supported by this grant. In early 2016, a webinar will be
recorded on how to use the inventory tool as a means to
catalog all energy and material flows through a manufacturing plant. This is an essential step in conducting a life
cycle assessment which also provides the foundation for
environmental product declarations.
Monitoring and Cleaning PICP in a Cold Climate
Toronto & Region Conservation Authority demonstrates
PICP cold climate performance –The research facility
consists of four ~230 m2 pavement areas. Two are PICP,
and one is pervious concrete, and another is traditional
asphalt.
Fifty-eight rain events had been sampled for water
quality and analyzed for solids, nutrients, metals, road
salt constituents, and general chemistry. Overall, the
median concentrations of most stormwater pollutants
were lower in the permeable pavement effluent than
in asphalt runoff. These include total suspended solids,
ammonia-ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, total
nitrogen, total phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron and oil/
grease (solvent extractable). Net reductions in pollutant
mass were even more pronounced for these and other
pollutants because, on a unit area basis, 47% less stormwater was discharged from the permeable pavement
plots than the asphalt.
Monitoring of two PICP parking lots near Toronto demonstrated favorable winter infiltration
and pollutant reduction performance.

Chris Ross and David Bender Receive
the ICPI Lifetime Achievement Award
Chris Ross served as ICPI’s Chairman-elect in 1998 and 1999,
and then as ICPI Chairman in 1999 and 2000. With his oversight,
he supported the transition of ICPI from a small association
management company to Bostrom Corp. who helped grow ICPI
from a $700,000 in 1998 to $2 million plus budget in 2007. Under
Mr. Ross’ chairmanship, ICPI laid some foundations that their board
and committees rely on today. Some of these include the ICPI
policy manual, policies on financial reserves, development of the
certification courses, and regional meetings. The ICPI Foundation
was created while he was chair.
Steve Berry presented award to Chris Ross
David Bender established Pavestone Company, now one of the
largest paver manufacturing companies in North America. He then
established Pavestone Plus (later renamed Navastone) where he worked
for the next 20 years. Iin 2007 he completed the sale of his company
to Hanson Building Products. His company is a charter member of
ICPI. Soon after its establishment, Mr. Bender led the association
serving as chairman from 1995-1997. He is attributed with several
leadership accomplishments that helped shape the association and
industry. One of these was the development of the ICPI Concrete Paver
Installer Certification Program which today has had more than 25,000
participants.
Elliot Bender presented award to his father,

ICPI Meetings Connect Members with Industry Leaders
A central component to advancing the industry is connecting with colleagues and key industry stakeholders at ICPI’s
Annual and Summer meetings. Members collectively advance the industry and gain access to resources not available
anywhere else. The 2015 featured lifetime achievement awards and the summer meeting featured the Innovative Technologies Forum where Alliance presented research on their base board system, and Tencate Mirafi presented research
demonstrating augmented structural support from geosynthetics. The Forum is hosted by the ICPI Technical Committee.

Financial Activity
The following summary financial information is derived from the audited statement of financial position and the statement of activities for the
year ending June 30, 2015.
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Since the ICPI Foundation is affiliated with the ICPI and is operated exclusively for its benefit, the two organization’s statements
of financial position are consolidated. The ICPI Foundation Board
of Trustees continues to manage Foundation finances from an
endowment fund to support research and education benefiting
the ICPI and the industry.
With the Foundation, ICPI continues to be strong and well-positioned to advance its mission to increase awareness, acceptance
and use of segmental concrete pavement systems in North
America.
ICPI Statement of Activities
Revenue
ICPI’s total operating revenue in 2014-15 reached $3.29 million an
increase of $141,000 from last year. Revenues from membership
dues ($1.1million) increased by $119,000. Meetings and Exhibits
decreased by $14,000 to ($1.2 million) due a decrease in revenue
for the Annual Meeting as ICPI celebrated their 20th Anniversary
in the previous period and many members provided additional
sponsorship revenue. Programs ($678,000) including contractor
education increased by $111,000 due to an increase in sponsored courses and attendance per course. Publications income
($251,000) dropped by $3,000 due to the decrease in literature
sales.
