... 9 2.1 Introduction Permeable pavements can be constructed using a variety of surface materials. These permeable surfaces are typically placed over an aggregate base/subbase reservoir, which collects the water that infiltrates through the surface.

... types of permeable pavements and their Benefits 15 it is going to drain into the permeable pavement structure. For a full-infiltration system, this provides a nearly direct access to the subgrade.

... 16 Guidance for Usage of permeable pavement at airports materials used may not be as costly as the base/subbase reservoir aggregate. A filter fabric may also be required in the permeable pavement design but may not be needed for a conventional pavement.

... types of permeable pavements and their Benefits 17 2.7.2 Performance Expectations and Concerns Permeable pavements need to meet design requirements for their expected design lives, just as other pavements do. They also need to meet similar functional and safety requirements as standard pavements.
