Sensored Permeable Pavement for Elevated Performance and Reduced Maintenance
DATE and TIME: 4th December 2025 | 1:00PM MT
Dr. Aaron Fisher VP of Business Development Ernest Maier/PaveDrain
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live
Clay soils are assumed to uniformly and negatively impact the infiltration rates of permeable pavement installed over them. However, real soils are heterogeneous mixtures in which better infiltrating soils predominate in terms of performance. Additionally, real infiltration rates are further augmented by hydrostatic head, and wet conditions present in the galleries under a permeable pavement. When coupled with a next generation permeable pavement (permeable articulating concrete block) that is designed to have delayed clogging, the sensor systems documented values that exceed manual/modelled expectations by an order of magnitude—increasing regulatory credit by a factor of three to four. This additional crediting shifts the value of functioning permeable pavement from “only good when pavement is required” to a “first-choice when developing a site.”
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the real performance (infiltration rate) of real soils
- Understand the value of having permeable surfaces that have delayed clogging cycles
- Understand how elevated performance of permeable pavement can result in additional credit useful when meeting stormwater compliance goals.

Dr. Aaron Fisher has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland and a B.S. in Chemistry from Duke University. He is currently the Vice President of Business Development for Ernest Maier; a family-owned company. Dr. Fisher is responsible for PaveDrain a heavy duty, low-maintenance permeable pavement and fiberglass rebar, a stronger, more sustainable, corrosion-proof alternative to steel rebar. Dr. Fisher has a deep technical background in all aspects of sustainability. He has served as a contractor to several programmatic offices within the U.S. Department of Energy- Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office. He has also led the innovation program at Water Research Foundation on behalf of wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water utilities across the United States.
This event is worth one (1) Professional Development Hours.
