“…Several studies have reported that the clogging depth only extends into the upper surface of the permeable pavement system and therefore simple cleaning of a permeable pavement upper surface can potentially return the surface infiltration capability to an acceptable level [38,39].…”

Understanding clogging mechanisms in permeable pavements can help optimize the required maintenance regime. In this review paper, methods for investigating clogging mechanisms are described. These include surface infiltration methods, the use of embedded sensors, and the development of modelling tools. Previously conducted surface infiltration tests indicate the importance of the age of a permeable pavement system and also local climatic conditions, including rainfall intensity. The results indicate that porous concrete generally has the highest infiltration capacity and this is followed by permeable interlocking concrete pavement and then porous asphalt. The measured infiltration rates decreased significantly even within two years of installation. There was an indirect relationship between surface infiltration rates and the age of the pavements. It was also found that the rainfall characteristics are important in selecting the type of pavement. Sensor technologies have been used mainly in the United States and there has been a reluctance to use such technologies in other parts of the world. Few studies have been conducted into modelling the changing performance of permeable pavement systems over time and there is a need to develop more general models. Various methods and machinery have been developed for cleaning and maintaining permeable pavements and there is no universally preferred approach currently available. Indeed, several of the commonly used maintenance methods have been shown to be relatively ineffective.

“…Moreover, the surface layer acts like a sieve, preventing silt entering the porous pavement and facilitating the cleaning work. This was proved by Haselbach (2010) for pervious concrete, analysing the effect of clay suspensions in cores taken from three field placements.…”

“…This was demonstrated in the United States for porous asphalt years ago (Grover et al 1972) and also more recently for different types of permeable pavements that provide significant surface runoff and peak flow rate reductions compared with standard asphalt (Collins et al 2008). But like other porous surfaces, porous asphalt usually undergoes clogging or blockage problems (Scholz and Grabowiecki 2007;Haselbach 2010;Fassman and Blackbourn 2010).…”

Characterization of Infiltration Capacity of Permeable Pavements with Porous Asphalt Surface Using Cantabrian Fixed Infiltrometer

et al. 2012

Porous asphalt is used in Permeable Pavement Systems (PPS), but it is sensitive to surface clogging leading to a loss in its infiltration capacity. Test methods based on the use of permeable pavement models, manufactured in laboratory and assessed under different clogging conditions, slope, rain and runoff, have been widely applied to the study of permeable pavements with concrete blocks but not to the study of porous bituminous mixtures. The Cantabrian Fixed (CF) Infiltrometer has been used for the study of porous asphalt with void percentages between 20% and 33%. Three clogging scenarios were studied: newly placed surface, surface with an average maintenance level and clogged surface. Each clogging scenario was tested with 5 different slopes: 0%, 2%, 5%, 8% and 10% and three repetitions. The direct rainfall simulation was produced by five lines of bubblers over the 0.25m 2 piece and the runoff was simulated by one perforated pipe over a plastic ramp at the beginning of the surface. From the analysis of the results, it was concluded that a suitable design of a porous bituminous mixture, with a void percentage that increases with depth, along with surface brushing are enough to ensure and maintain a good infiltration capacity. Finally, an empirical conservative model for estimating the porous asphalt infiltration capacity based on the length, the clogging scenario, and the surface slope, is proposed.

“…Clogging, the loss of surface permeability, in PP systems has been documented by numerous researchers in both field (Bean et al, 2007;Henderson and Tighe, 2011) and laboratory based studies (Illgen et al, 2007;Pezzaniti et al, 2009;Haselbach, 2010;Tan et al, 2003). Clogging materials are deposited onto the surface of a PP from vehicular traffic, vegetative litter, atmospheric deposition and regular maintenance activities.…”

Permeable pavements (PPs) have been used as stormwater management systems throughout Ontario for over twenty years. After years of sediment and debris buildup, surface clogging reduces the infiltration of stormwater and inhibits the hydraulic and environmental functions of the pavement. Removal of surface material has been shown to restore infiltration but the majority of studies have been limited to small scale testing.This chapter presents the results and experiences of the first testing of regenerative air and vacuum sweeping trucks on permeable pavements in Ontario, which was conducted in 2011. A regenerative air truck was tested on two parking lots with well used permeable interlocking concrete pavers and pervious concrete, while a vacuum sweeping truck was demonstrated on a third parking lot with permeable interlocking pavers.Both systems proved to provide partial rehabilitation of the permeable pavements. Post treatment surface infiltration rates on all three parking lots displayed large spatial variability, showing that micro-conditions throughout the pavement have a confounding influence on the overall effectiveness of maintenance. The impact of maintenance may be improved by establishing regular cleaning intervals and developing instructional guidelines for pavement owners and equipment operators.
