922.01 Certification
The manufacturer shall furnish certification as specified in TC-1.03.
922.02 Prefabricated Edge Drains
Shall be flexible, rectangular conduit consisting of supporting drainage core encased in a geotextile. Drainage Core. Material shall be manufactured from polymers having a high resistance to deterioration by pavement deicing salts, petroleum-based materials, and naturally occurring soil chemicals. The core shall have sufficient flexibility to withstand bending and handling without damage or significant weakening. The core geotextile contact point spacing for post and cuspated sheet type cores shall not exceed 1.125 in. Elongated pipe core sections shall have a 7.5 in./ft minimum open area to allow lateral flow into the core. Cores with support on only one side shall have a minimum of 5 percent of the area of that support side in unobstructed flow. Drainage core shall meet the following requirements: TEST PROPERTY TEST METHOD SPECIFICATION LIMITS Thickness, in. min — 0.75 Compressive Strength, psi, @ 20% maximum deformation, min
a.40 In-plane Flow Rate, gal/min/ft of width, min D4716 (b) 15
a.D5034 for crushed sheet and post type cores. D2412 for elongated pipe type cores.
b.10 psi load after 100 hr at a hydraulic gradient of 0.1 Geotextile Wrap. Section 919, Class SD, Type II. The fabric shall be bonded to contact points of supporting core for post and cuspated sheet type cores to ensure that the geotextile does not sag into the core flow area. The geotextile shall be tightly stretched over the core for elongated pipe type cores. 922 — PREFABRICATED EDGE DRAINS 2026 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS
