For permeable pavers with aggregate in the joints, pressure washing is not recommended, but vacuuming is an effective means of maintenance. For large sites, specialized vacuums are available; most small sites can be maintained with a heavy-duty shop vac. Some aggregate will be removed in the course of maintenance vacuuming and will need to be replaced properly. In the following video, participants took part in a live demonstration of a vacuum sweeper - revitalizing an 8 year old UNI-ECOLOC permeable pavement (PICP).

The next-gen in U.S. protected bike lanes, this 8-mile trail connects some of downtown Indy's most popular cultural institutions. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is a prime example of a landscape "edge," which is often a linear interface between two spaces of a landscape that have different functions or physical characters. The trail, surfaced using interlocking concrete pavers, replaces what was once a brown field with a pedestrian friendly experience that includes bioswales for stormwater runoff.

Various types of pavers are used throughout Mary Bartelme Park. Different colored pavers can function as way finding tools. The white pavers in the picture shown to the right provide for a transition in a space. Additionally, the white pavers used are TX Active permeable pavers. Sun rays activate the photocatalytic reaction within concrete made with TX Active and destroy organic and inorganic compounds before they have a chance to adhere to its surface. On a clear day the photocatalytic properties of the pavers clean the air, and on a rainy day their permeability allows stormwater to slowly percolate the system's surface recharging back into the ground. 

The University of Georgia hosted the annual LABash conference during Spring, 2013. At this event, a design competition was held that featured the installation of an interlocking concrete pavement. The pdf below depicts a below-surface “design” element (5 layers) that is an important general principle to be considered during initial conceptual design phases. 

Copenhagen architecture firm, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), used interlocking pavers as a means of wayfinding. The pavers make up a sloped ramp that goes from ground level to the individual buildings.  This "street in the sky" provides for an easy access for bicyclists.
