Kentucky USGBC - Kentucky USGBC Photogallery - Lexington Green Scene September

September's Lexington Green Scene was held at the Home Builders' Association of Lexington on September 1. Attendees networked inside and on the back patio until they were invited out to the front paking lot to view a demonstration of just how well pervious concrete can handle a deluge of water. Finley Messick, from the Bluegrass Concrete Promotion Group -- the sponsor of September's Green Scene -- explained the technical aspects of pervious concrete as more than 1500 gallons of water were dumped out of a concrete truck onto the pavement. The results were impressive. All of the water was absorbed into the structure of the driveway.

Brett Ruffing greeted attendees with a complimentary bottle of "Ready Mixed Concrete Hot Sauce." What will he think of next?

The Ready Mixed Concrete Association provided a stunning display of their pervious concrete product. More than 1500 gallons of water were dumped from the concrete truck onto the parking lot made of pervious concrete. There was absolutely no runoff. All of the water was absorbed immediately into the structure of the parking lot.
