First porous asphalt subdivision road placed in Oregon

North Santiam Paving completes a 1.6-mile porous asphalt road in the new Pringle Creek Development in Salem, Ore Sustainable Development and its team of architects and engineers called on North Santiam Paving Co., a design-build firm in Stayton, Ore., to help develop and construct a pervious road system that would aid their storm-water management goals.
"This was a whole new concept. Most of the time, you want roadways to be impervious to water," explains Bill Lulay, civil engineer and project manager with North Santiam Paving. "We worked with the team to come up with a base system that would be durable as well as pervious. The roads had to work long term, as well as be strong enough to hold up the short-term construction traffic."
On June 2 North Santiam Paving completed the 1.6-mile porous asphalt road system. For the final lift, the contractor laid down a 2-inch pervious wearing course with 3/8-inch top size aggregate. Last summer the contractor laid the base course and topped it with 3-inch asphalt treated permeable base. He then covered the new road with fabric to keep construction debris off the pavement. The new road carried earth moving equipment and other traffic connected with new home construction that continued through the winter. The base course was composed of a 10-inch layer of coarse stone topped by 4 inches of pit-run stone. The road is designed so that water will run through the top layers and percolate through the stone below and eventually be absorbed into the aquifer. Porous asphalt is becoming increasingly in demand as an effective means to handle storm-water runoff.
This is the first time, however, that the technology has been used for a road through a subdivision. With 7,000 feet of green streets and 2,000 feet of green alleyways, Pringle Creek is the nations first full-scale porous pavement project, said Jim Huddleston, executive director of the APA of Oregon. These landscaping initiatives are a leading model of eco-conscience construction and design.
North Santiam served as the projects site contractor, performing excavation and utility work for the communitys power, sewer, water, telephone and cable needs. The company constructed geothermal lines that will heat and cool commercial and residential structures, as well as salvaged bridge sections from a nearby interstate highway which was reclaimed and built to a new concrete bridge that now serves as access in crossing the creeksaving the owner money and incorporating yet another recycled element into the community.
