Terminology Used for Standard Pavement and Associated Drainage Items

B.1 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to show some standard designs for pavements and associated drainage items and to present the names of these in several languages. The diagrams contained within each section show the general layout only. No detail is included regarding the specifications of the materials or specific dimensions. Many of the figures in this Appendix have been adapted and simplified from drawings made available courtesy of the Highways Agency (Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works, Volume 3 — Highway Construction Details, Section 1 “Carriageway and Other Details” (March 1998, updated with amendments including November 2005, May 2006 & November 2006)). Where possible translations have been given in German (de), Spanish (es), French (fr), Italian (it), Greek (gr), Polish (po), Portuguese (pt), Serbian (cs), Danish (dk) and Slovenian (si).

This section provides general details of the layout of single and dual carriageway roads. Details of the carriageway are given in Section B3, and the carriageway edge and drain arrangements in Section B4.

B Terminology for Pavement and Drainage Items 373

SUD (Sustainable Urban Drainage) refers to pavements that are designed to behave more like natural soils (i. e. they allow the infiltration and storage of stormwater). As the SUD pavements have the capacity to hold water and release it slowly, unlike impermeable asphalt and concrete pavements, their use reduces the risk of flash flooding downstream from their discharge points.

This Section provides general layouts of the pavement edges. More specifically it provides the general designs used for surface and subsurface drainage. In most cases drainage pipes have outlets into large piped networks collecting surface run-off and sub-surface drainage water. These in turn outlet into ditches, streams, rivers and soakaways depending on which is most accessible given the local environment.
