Bay Area Pervious Concrete

What Bay Area Pervious Concrete does

Bay Area Pervious Concrete (BAPC) is a privately held specialty contractor founded in 2005 by David Liguori, headquartered in Northern California. The company designs, installs, and consults on pervious concrete pavement systems for stormwater management, serving municipal, commercial, and residential clients across the Bay Area and selectively beyond. Its work targets green-infrastructure objectives — reducing stormwater runoff, supporting groundwater recharge, and meeting municipal Low Impact Development (LID) requirements — through a niche trade that requires specialized materials expertise and certified craftsmanship.

The firm's core technology is pervious concrete, a specialty mix containing approximately 20% interconnected voids that allow water to pass through the slab. BAPC employs proprietary mix designs calibrated to roughly 3,000 psi compressive strength, installed using a hydraulic roller screed and a proprietary methodology called LATIS. The company holds the NRMCA Certified Pervious Concrete Craftsman designation — founder David Liguori is the only such certified professional in the Bay Area — and has installed over 1.5 million square feet of pervious pavement. Product offerings include Classic, Colored, and Fine Grain pervious concrete alongside two proprietary branded systems, Polished Pervious Concrete™ and Portola Pervious Concrete™.

BAPC's business model is project-based installation services supplemented by consulting, specification support, and educational presentations. Revenue is generated through quote-based contracts with no public pricing or standardized rate card. Clients include the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the cities of Palo Alto, Fremont, Hayward, San Jose, and Santa Cruz, Stanford University, Sacramento State, Hyatt Regency, and Starbucks. The firm maintains active roles across industry bodies including NRMCA, ACI, ASTM, APWA, the National Pervious Concrete Pavement Association, and the California Nevada Cement Association, reinforcing its positioning as a regional specialist with disproportionate specification influence relative to its size.

Broad incumbents

• StormTrap: Manufacturer and installer of stormwater management systems (underground detention/retention); competes indirectly for stormwater compliance project budgets where engineers can choose detention vaults versus pervious pavement solutions.
• National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) Pervious Concrete Installers: National trade body that certifies pervious concrete installers and craftsman; NRMCA-certified contractors across the U.S. compete directly with BAPC for municipal and commercial pervious concrete projects, though BAPC is the only certified craftsman-led installer in the Bay Area.
• Oldcastle Infrastructure: Large diversified concrete and infrastructure products manufacturer offering stormwater drainage, precast structures, and permeable pavement components; broader portfolio but overlapping customer base in municipal water/stormwater projects.

Regional players

• Eco-Pan / Pervious Concrete Specialists: Regional specialty concrete contractors focused on pervious and decorative permeable pavements for municipal green infrastructure and LID compliance projects.
• CalPaving / California Pervious Concrete: Other California-based pervious concrete and specialty paving contractors offering similar permeable pavement installation and stormwater management design services in adjacent or overlapping regional markets.

Emerging players

• Bio Clean Environmental Services: Provider of stormwater management and green infrastructure solutions, including pervious pavements, bioretention, and rain gardens; competes for the same municipal LID project budgets and consulting/specification work.
• Hydro Construction (pervious / decorative concrete): Specialty paving contractor offering decorative and pervious concrete for commercial and municipal customers; comparable mix of installation services, design consultation, and aesthetic finish options.
• Permeable Pavement Solutions: Specialty installer of pervious concrete and permeable interlocking pavements targeting municipalities and developers seeking stormwater management solutions; comparable customer profile and regulatory drivers.
• Concrete Change: Specialty pervious/permeable concrete installer focused on stormwater and green infrastructure projects; comparable product offering and customer base (municipalities, developers, residential) with an East Coast geographic focus.

Others

• California Nevada Cement Association: Industry association partner that collaborated with BAPC on pervious concrete specifications; serves as an ecosystem enabler rather than a direct competitor, providing technical resources and promotion of pervious concrete adoption.
