Abstract:The Inlet Protection Comparison for Sediment Control on Roadway Construction research project intends to provide Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) with performance data associated with key criteria for manufactured inlet protection devices in order to assess which products are appropriate for inlet sediment controls on ODOT roadway construction projects. The research team constructed a full-scale testing facility on Ohio State’s University’s campus to simulate stormwater runoff and sediment loading of a typical roadway construction project. Commonly available manufactured inlet protection products were compared to Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approved practices through a combination of performance and longevity testing. Based on the test results, the research team identified performance measures and material specifications of inlet protection devices to be used in developing a qualified product database and a procedure for assessing future devices. The research team also recommended new and updated inlet protection guidance for incorporation into ODOT’s design documents.
