==Tamping and grading==
==Tamping and rolling==
Tamping is an important construction step when installing permeable pavements. Tamping allows for the permeable surface (concrete or pavers) to set and adhere to the bedding layer beneath. Tamping also allows for flattening or evening out the surface, resulting in visually appealing finish.
'''Construction Steps:'''
*Pervious Concrete
*#Roll over the concrete with a steel roller.
*Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers
*#Remove any pieces that have imperfections on the surface.
*#Place the tamper onto the pavers.
*#Pass the tamper across all the pavement area.
'''Key Inspection Points:'''
Force and frequency – equipment
'''Mistakes to Avoid:'''
*Pervious Concrete
**Delays in tamping the pervious concrete. Tamping should be completed no more than 15 minutes after the concrete was placed.
*Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers
**Not placing a rubber pad beneath the tamper, as it could damage the surface of the pavers.
