Porous Concrete

This is the breakdown for the small parking lot example below.

Physical resources

Porous concrete
Gravel

Tools

Excavation equitment
Concrete laying equitment

Human Resources

Construction workers
Owners o fparking lot
Urban planners
Civil engeneers

Capital Resources

Money to tear out old parking lot, (about $2-6 per sqft) so in this exapmle about 386,000 to 1.1 million dollars.

Money to build new parking lots; in this example, it could cost up t o1.5 million dollars.

Reservoir Parks

This is the breakdown for the resources required to turn this empty feild into a resovoir park.

Physical resources

grass seed/sod - $1/sq ft - ~$258,750
Thirsty concrete
water/rust resistant Playground equipment - estimated at $35,000
Basketball hoops $1000 for tw
Drain pipes $10k generous estimate

Tools

Excavation equipment
Concrete laying equipment
Welding equipment

Human resources

Construction workers
Fundraisers
Contractors
Urban planners

Capital Resources

Estimated $500,000

Total

Total cost is estimated at aournd $3M under the assumptions that the area of the plot of land is 575x500ft, 90% is excavated, and 90% is layed with sod. The other 10% is layed with porous concrete.
$100625 - porous concrete
$258750 - sod
$35000 - playground equipment
$1000 - basketball hoops
$10000 - drainage system
$2515625 - excavation costs
$79000 miscellaneous labor and salaries

Steps of Construction

1. Prepare the materials
   Concrete, sod, playground equipment, drainage pipes
2. Clear the topsoil
   Remove from the build site, making sure to follow the proper disposal procedures
3. Dig down the park
   Excavate down to 10 feet deep, leaving a 10 degree incline around the edge of the park. As with the topsoil, make sure to dispose of properly
4. Prepare for concrete
   dig 2 feet deeper to provide a hole for the concrete to be poured into. Make sure to also dig holes for the playground equipment to be anchored in.
5. Install park equitment
   Install the playground equipment and pour the pervious concrete into the hole dug in.
6. Insure saftey
   Make sure your install is up to proper building codes.
7. Install drainage pipes
   Make sure to use appropriate PPE such as gloves, safety glasses, and steel toed boots, and make sure to research and follow any local building codes
8. build concrete paths
   Dig and pour concrete into walkways and paths around the park. Follow OSHA guidelines for concrete work, including proper lifting techniques, formwork safety, and protection against silica dust exposure. Adhere to any local building codes and regulations regarding concrete construction and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility requirements for walkways.
9. Lay the sod
   Ensure that workers are trained in safe lifting techniques to prevent back injuries. Provide proper equipment such as knee pads to protect workers from strains and injuries during sod installation. Ensure that sod is laid properly without leaving gaps or uneven surfaces to prevent trip hazards.
