| Sumario: | Structural integrity of flexible road pavements is guaranteed if an effective road drain is provided during construction. On sloppy terrain open concrete drain has sufficient conveyance to get rid of runoff from the road system. The ability decreases as the terrain approaches near flat condition On flat terrain water often ponds on the roadway after a rainfall and conventional road drainage system is hardly effective in discharging the runoff. To address this a trenchless drainage system becomes a suitable option. This involves an engineered open trench backfilled with granular materials. The method is effective and cheaper. |
