Abstract:Adequate drainage is one of the most important requirements in the reconstruction of a highway. Often it represents an appreciable expense of construction. In some applications installation costs may be reduced by the use of lighter weight drainage pipes such as aluminum and/or plastics. However the use of lighter weight materials may necessitate increased attention during placement and backfilling operations.
In July 1995, the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) initiated an experimental construction project using plastic cross drainage pipes to gain expertise relative to installation and pipe performance.
