Tomorrow, the Hamilton/Niagara Chapter of CSC is hosting a luncheon discussion on permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICPs).

Led by Dave Laurie, CTR (Unilock Ltd.), the session examines the esthetic and functional benefits of these assemblies, along with the methods for writing proper base specifications for different applications. The talk also focuses on PICP possibilities for helping projects achieve credits under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

The event takes place at the Royal Canadian Legion (828 Legion Rd.), in Burlington, Ont., on Thursday, January 19. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m., with the presentation ending by 2 p.m. Admission is $25 per person, payable at the door. (ATM onsite or cheques payable to CSC Hamilton/Niagara Chapter.) The session also qualifies for Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) self-directed learning points.
