ICPI Annual Report 2013
Solidifying our Future On October 16, 1993, 66 charter members gathered in Chicago to initiate the first organizational meeting of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. Then Chairman Larry Nicolai’s enthusiastic opening comments were optimistic stating that the meeting was “a turning point in the history of the paver industry in North America.” Since then, ICPI has grown from 66 members to over 900 with an operating budget of $3 million and the industry has grown to over 485 million sf of residential and commercial applications. I’m excited to announce that this year marks the 20th anniversary of ICPI. On March 27, 2014, ICPI members, special guests and honorees will come together in New Orleans to celebrate the accomplishments of the concrete paver industry over the last two decades. This time marks another “turning point” as our industry transitions from the introductory stage to one of growth and maturity. In 2013, ICPI has focused on laying the groundwork for solidifying our future as an association and industry. First, a new dues structure was implemented for producers, associates and contractors. The Dues Equity Special Committee engaged a consultant to help identify dues models and assess their likely impact on the association. The consultant conducted interviews and surveys to understand the motivations, perceptions and expectations of ICPI members in all member categories. This research was vital to developing an equitable dues structure and truly understanding the needs and expectations of our members, their drivers and motivations, as well as ICPI’s vision of success. The new dues model helps to provide necessary funds to sustain the association. Additionally, a special committee has been established to identify programs and services for supporting slab producers. Next, ICPI committed to purchasing a permanent headquarters in Northern Virginia. Purchasing office space will save the Institute approximately $40,000 to $50,000 per year. ICPI members supported efforts by contributing more than $400,000 in a capital building campaign to offset building expenses. The savings from this building investment allows us to develop additional programs and services to increase awareness, acceptance and use of segmental concrete pavement systems in North America. Construction was completed in February 2014. Also in 2013, ICPI implemented a new strategic plan which sets the direction of the association for the next three years. The Strategic Planning Committee met with key industry leaders and staff, conducted an environmental scan to identify key industry trends, surveyed the membership and reviewed other key industry research. This was followed by an intensive full day planning meeting where ICPI’s core purpose, values and goals were identified. A revised vision, mission, goal areas, objectives and key performance indicators were established (see page 2). Last, ICPI demonstrated its commitment towards achieving its mission by establishing the Commercial Technical Promotion (CTP) Team. The team’s purpose is to increase interlocking concrete pavement (ICP) and permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) share of the total commercial pavement market in the United States and Canada. To achieve this, the industry needs a technically skilled and knowledgeable sales force ready to meet the demands of the commercial market. The industry has earned an increasing share of the residential market, but the commercial market represents an area of potential growth. ICPI’s strategic plan includes resource investment to develop the commercial market by providing support and training to the Commercial Technical Promotion Team members. Over the last 20 years, ICPI focused on supporting its members in assuring that segmental concrete pavement systems are the preferred choice for low-speed vehicular and pedestrian pavements in North America. While the past 20 years have been exciting for our industry, I’m looking forward to the next twenty. ICPI will continue its commitment to members in creating awareness and promoting use of the world’s best pavement system. Sincerely,
Dave Carter ICPI Chair of the Board

Commercial Market Promotion The commercial market includes specified projects for industrial, commercial, institutional, municipal, single and multi-family housing developments, and government agencies. ICPI’s strategic plan includes investments to develop the commercial market.
Commercial Technical Promotion Team In 2013, ICPI established a Commercial Technical Promotion (CTP) Team to increase the interlocking concrete pavement and permeable interlocking concrete pavement share of the total pavement market in the United States and Canada. To achieve this, ICPI has committed to develop a technically skilled and knowledgeable sales force ready to meet the needs of the commercial market. There are currently 189 CTP Team Members that have committed themselves to this challenge. Team members attend training webinars, serve as a resource to design professionals in their markets, present at least 3 ICPI presentations to design professionals in the commercial market with feedback on content, and provide data on their local markets for evaluation.
Empowering the Commercial Sales Force through Education ICPI is devoted to offering education programs to support a sales force to better interact, collaborate with and sell to design professionals, developers and municipal officials. In 2013, ICPI and NCMA jointly launched a new sales course to prepare sales representatives who sell segmental concrete products in the commercial market. Content includes an overview of competitive systems and provides technical background specific to permeable interlocking concrete pavements, segmental retaining walls and articulating concrete block. Related software, product specifications, plan review, and bidding procedures are also covered. Course participants received a generous amount of resources. The new ICPI-NCMA Commercial Sales Course held December 3-5, 2013 in Rosemont, IL saw an excellent turnout for its first launch with 46 attendees. This joint association event is expected to be held annually.
Increasing Awareness and Acceptance of Segmental Pavement Systems by Design Professionals and Specifiers ICPI staff has made numerous presentations at design professional workshops, national design professional related association seminars and conferences and quarterly webinars with continuing education credits.
Workshops, Seminars, and Conference Sessions Presented by ICPI Staff at Industry Events In 2013, ICPI staff presented at events to help achieve acceptance of ICP and PICP. These events included:
• ASCE Green Streets & Highways Conference, Austin, TX • California Coastal Commission & Northcoast Stormwater Coalition, Eureka, CA • FHWA Sustainable Pavements Technical Work Group, Baton Rouge, LA • Indiana Green Industries Expo, Indianapolis, IN

Webinars for Design Professionals Webinars provide a cost-effective, convenient and timely education platform for building awareness of segmental concrete pavement among design professionals. ICPI continues to expand its database of design professional contacts for promoting webinars. In 2013, the following webinars were presented:
• Effective Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement Maintenance • Using PICP Design Pro Software • Road Applications for Interlocking Concrete Pavement • Comparing PICP to Other Infiltration Pavement Systems • PICP Maintenance • Geosynthetics Used in Hardscape Construction
Presentations for Design Professionals ICPI presentations provide a great opportunity to reach design professionals and city officials. Offering these presentations is an effective way to begin the process of building relationships. Most design professionals need to earn continuing education credits in order to maintain their professional licenses. All ICPI presentations are registered with AIA, ASLA and/or GBCI and each provides one continuing education hour. In 2013, ICPI saw increased deployment of presentations by members to firms across the U.S. and Canada, with more than 116 presentations delivered to more than 1,134 design professionals.
LTAP Jointly funded by the Federal Highway Administration and State Departments of Transportation, the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) provides a superb platform for increasing awareness of permeable interlocking concrete pavements. After making a presentation on permeable pavements at their national convention in July, LTAP is hosting a permeable pavement webinar in 2014 featuring Bethany Eisenberg with VHB Consultants and ICPI staff. LTAP centers provide technology transfer on pavement design, construction and maintenance to state and local road agencies across the U.S. and Canada. Pending success of the webinar, others may follow with more in-depth presentations on permeable pavement options including PICP.
State BMP Manuals ICPI staff participated on committees formed by state stormwater agencies to create or update guidelines on best management practices for permeable pavements. Agencies include those in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington and California’s Caltrans. Regional guidelines were updated for three county agencies in the San Francisco Bay area. Participation continues with an agency in Pennsylvania.

Improving Installation through Education Under the Education Committee, the Contractor Education Subcommittee expanded recognition for concrete paver installers with a roadmap called the Installer Development Program. This provides a long-term structure for the professional development of concrete paver installers. ICPI’s Installer Development Program offers individuals the path to a more prosperous future through certification and designations.
Concrete Paver Installer Certification Certification can be achieved by individuals who build residential and commercial interlocking concrete pavements. Certification requires installation experience and continuing education is needed to maintain cerfication.
Residential Paver Technician Designation Participants demonstrate advanced knowledge and skill in complex residential paver installations including outdoor living space design and construction, as well as specialty applications such as raised and multi-level patios, fireplaces, fire pits, grills, outdoor kitchens and pool decks.
Commercial Paver Technician Designation Participants understand best practices for the installation of interlocking concrete pavers in industrial, commercial, institutional and municipal applications. These include specialty uses such as roofs, slabs, and bitumen set paving units, among others.
NEW! ICPI Announces New Accreditation Program for Paver Installation Companies In July 2013, ICPI launched a new accreditation program for paver installation companies. The Accredited Paver Installation Company (APIC) program recognizes contractors that meet installation best practices and provides promotional opportunities for their commitment to build according to industry-established guidelines. The APIC program fulfills an industry need to highlight companies that implement quality construction and craftsmanship while following sound business practices. The program provides third party credibility from a peer association by recognizing skills, knowledge and adherence to industry best practices. Accredited companies receive marketing support from ICPI to design professionals, commercial and residential project owners. For more information on this exciting new program visit www.icpi.org/apic.

PICP Specialist Designation This designation is provided to individuals that demonstrate their knowledge and experience of best practices for permeable interlocking concrete pavement installation for commercial and residential applications.
New Contractor Webinar Series ICPI released a new series of contractor webinars free to ICPI members, providing 4 CE credits each year towards certification renewal. ICPI has expanded its network of continuing education providers. ICPI continues to provide on-demand learning and other continuing education opportunities for certification renewal. In 2013, more than 80 ICPI contractor courses were held in the U.S. and Canada, with nearly 1,700 participants educated on industry best practices for paver installation.
Education to Ensure the Future Growth of the Industry A strategic objective for ICPI is promoting segmental paving technologies in university curricula. The objective is educating students in landscape architecture and civil engineering programs on ICP and PICP compared to other pavement types so when students graduate and begin specifying projects, they are already aware of the world’s best pavement option.
Paveshare (www.paveshare.org) The Paveshare website provides technical materials and design concepts using segmental concrete pavements in a concise, easy-touse online format. It provides an innovative approach to exposing landscape architecture professors and students to interlocking concrete pavement and permeable interlocking concrete pavement systems. The site continues expanding with design ideas, project examples, and exercises for use in lecture and studio educational settings.
PCA Professors’ Workshop Shares Concrete Knowledge ICPI Director of Engineering, Robert Bowers, P, Eng. met with more than 20 civil, architectural and construction engineering professors from U.S. universities at the Portland Cement Association’s (PCA) Skokie, IL, offices for the PCA Professors’ Workshop, July 15-19, 2013. He demonstrated Permeable Design Pro software and reviewed the Civil Engineering modules “Introduction to Interlocking Concrete Pavement” and “Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement.” Discussions enabled participants to share innovative ways to teach concrete applications. Professors appreciated the opportunity to obtain critical information to supplement and develop their concrete curriculum on a variety of concrete subjects in one concentrated workshop.

Government Affairs Representing the concrete paver industry, ICPI continues implementing legislative and regulatory lobbying initiatives benefiting member business interests. A central feature of ICPI’s lobbying activities is to indelibly brand permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) as an environmentally friendly, “green” technology that can provide substantial stormwater runoff reduction, reduce flooding, improve water quality by enhancing filtration of stormwater runoff, retain local hydrology, and facilitate municipal low impact development objectives. ICPI is urging Congress and key federal agencies that PICP can play a major role in emerging, evolving federal policies to improve the environment, and should be promoted and integrated in federal policy.

expensive ancillary requirements and extraordinary engineering changes in order to comply. ICPI joined the Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC) which is criticizing the proposed regulation and the many substantive and procedural flaws within. Because of the complexity of the regulation and the many health, legal and economic impacts, many associations obtained more time from OSHA to analyze the document and prepare comments for the public record. ICPI joined other members of the Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC) in penning the letter to OSHA. ICPI developed a website page with resources and information on silica which will be updated regularly. ICPI has also joined a concrete product group to critique the general industry/ manufacturing aspects of the proposed regulation. ICPI will submit multiple comments and will testify at the upcoming silica hearings in Washington, DC.
Implementation of ICPI’s Permeable Pavements Provision in the MAP-21 Transportation Bill ICPI’s Authorization Bill language in MAP-21 created the parameters for USDOT/FHWA to work with ICPI and permeable pavements issues.

ICPI Presented Legislative Proposal for the Successor to MAP-21 to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee ICPI has presented its legislative proposal to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The language was prepared in consultation with the ICPI Government Relations Committee. The proposal represents a sequential follow-on to the legislation that ICPI added to MAP-21 in 2012. It expands USDOT authorization to include demonstration projects for specific purposes. Further, it includes training of state and local transportation authorities with respect to PICP, a need that has surfaced based upon ICPI’s work with the LTAPs and confirmed in private meetings with FHWA staff. ICPI is wellpositioned and is expanding its lobbying to support the overall successor bill to MAP-21, the vehicle for the ICPI language.
ICPI Adds Language to Omnibus Appropriations Bill, Now Signed into Law ICPI was successful in placing language in the Omnibus Appropriations Bill that was signed into law during the week of January 13, 2014.

ICPI Foundation Research The ICPI Foundation for Education and Research advances knowledge in interlocking concrete pavement through technical research and development of education programs. In 2013, several research projects were of note.
University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC) PICP Research Completed UNHSC issued their final report on two years of monitoring of PICP on Hood House Drive in the university campus center. The 13,500 sf (1,350 m2) drive and parking lot in Durham, NH, reduced runoff volume and pollutant mass removals some 95 percent. Monitoring water infiltrating from about half of the PICP area included pollutants such as sediments, zinc, petroleum hydrocarbons, and nutrients. Built over moderate infiltration soils, the pavement saw significant volume reductions such that no single rain event generated more than 5 gal (20 L) of discharge for underdrains in the base. Additionally, the study confirmed that open-graded bases and soil subgrades do not heave from winter freezing and thawing. This project’s success is due to the Foundation and ICPI jointly funding the research contract, plus contributions from ICPI members, the Northeast Concrete Masonry Association, and the Northeastern Cement Shippers Association for materials and construction of the PICP test area. The 54-page report can be downloaded from the UNHSC website.
University of Pittsburgh Sidewalk Smoothness Study Update The ICPI Foundation and the Brick Industry Association (BIA) co-funded a research project with the University of Pittsburgh to develop a sidewalk smoothness measurement device. The University of Pittsburgh is the same group that conducted wheelchair-pavement interaction studies for ICPI and BIA in 2002 and 2004. The measurement technology funded by ICPI and BIA developed a device called PathMeT which was prototyped and presented at the Technical Committee meeting at the 2013 ICPI Summer Meeting. The University’s Dr. Pearlman presented this device and related data developed for the U.S. Access Board indicated that new segmental pavements generally comply with proposed smoothness criteria from his research on wheelchair user acceptance. Where there is non-compliance, it is typically due to improper construction or lack of maintenance. The smoothness criteria developed from Dr. Pearlman’s data have been given to the U.S. Access Board for possible inclusion in proposed new ADA Design Guidelines for the public right-of-way. These guidelines will be published in 2014 as a proposal from a U.S. Department of Justice Notice for Proposed Rule Making (NPRM). Additionally, a draft standard for measuring sidewalk surface smoothness using PathMeT has been introduced to ASTM Committee E17 on Vehicle-Pavement Systems that might be referenced in the new design guidelines. Development of smoothness/vibration standards favorable to segmental pavements could better position the industry over the long term, ultimately selling more pavers.

UC Davis PICP Structural Testing Update As a pressing need for PICP market development, structural testing and validated design charts rank high. To address this need, the ICPI Foundation supported co-funding from the California Nevada Cement Association and the Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada members for full-scale structural testing and development of design charts for PICP. Computer modeling and fullscale load testing will be completed by the University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) in Davis. The ICPI Foundation support includes some of the project costs, all construction costs, and project administration. Additional Foundation support includes review of the test program deliverables and review of the data for application to freeze-thaw areas by an outside consultant. About 2,600 sf of permeable pavers are being donated by an ICPI member. Caltrans has agreed to provide technical review of the project and its results. Project deliverables are expected in late 2014.
NC State PICP Research Project Underway The Foundation also approved a funding request from the North Carolina State University to monitor a small PICP parking lot on low infiltration soils owned by the City of Durham, NC. The US EPA, the City of Durham, and an ICPI member are also supporting this project. This proposal can likely provide data on nutrient reductions through detention/de-nitrification via a raised subbase underdrain. The ~1,000 sf test area construction was completed in July and monitoring began in October 2013 and continues for 14 months. Deliverables will help address questions from stormwater agencies on nutrient reduction on low infiltration soils.
TRCA PICP Research Report Submitted Another project funded by the Foundation is a project by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to continue monitoring of various permeable pavement types (pervious concrete and PICP) at their parking lot near Toronto. Funding provided by the ICPI Foundation and other contributors has allowed for the continuation of monitoring the site beyond the original project term for an additional two years. The monitoring consists of impervious asphalt, pervious concrete, and two PICP designs, both contributed by Foundation donors. The 70-page report on the favorable outcome of the first two years of monitoring is available on TRCA’s Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program website.
