Construction Steps:
'''Construction Steps:'''
#Lay permeable pavers by hand or install whole pallets of pavers at a time with specialized equipment.

#Cut pavers to fit into the edges of the infiltration area.
#Cut pavers to fit into the edges of the infiltration area.
#Compact completed surfaces with a plate vibrator at the end of each day or when all pavers are placed. The plate vibrator can be applied up to 1.8 m from the laying face (incomplete edge).

Key Inspection Points:
'''Key Inspection Points:'''
*Cracked/broken pavers are discarded and replaced with intact pavers prior to filling void spaces.

Mistakes to Avoid:
'''Mistakes to Avoid:'''
*Leaving pavers uncompacted – finished surfaces must be compacted at the end of each workday.
*Leaving pavers uncompacted – finished surfaces must be compacted at the end of each workday.
*Cutting blocks in infiltration area – edge pavers should be cut with a wet saw in a designated area away from the infiltration area to avoid clogging with fines and dust.
