Unlike a full-depth porous asphalt pavement, OGFCs do not drain water to the base of a pavement. Instead, they allow water to infiltrate the top 3/4 to 1.5 inch of the pavement and then drain out to the side of the roadway. This can improve the friction characteristics of the road and reduce road spray. [27]
Two County Fermanagh brothers who scammed elderly homeowners in the United States out of hundreds of thousands of dollars have been sentenced to 18 months in a US prison and face likely deportation.
Drainage gradient (DG) is a term in road design, defined as the combined slope due to road surface cross slope (CS) and longitudinal slope (hilliness). Although the term may not be used, the concept is also used in roof design and landscape architecture. If the drainage gradient is too low, rain and melt water drainage will be insufficient.
For such drainage systems to work properly it is crucial that neutral air pressure be maintained within all lines, allowing free gravity flow of water and sewage down drains and through waste pipes. It is critical that a sufficient "pitch" (downward slope) be maintained throughout the drain pipes to keep liquids and entrained solids flowing ...
