I think this is worth considering. The drainage capacity is greater than 4” perforated pipe and the vertical profile would do a better job of intercepting lateral movement of water. It comes in 12” and 18” sizes. We could ask TSC to price it both ways.

Recently, the Kentucky Transportation Center has designed a test method which is far more representative of the actual forces acting on installed pipe. The results of this improved test show that AdvanEDGE has approximately twice the flow capacity of the two lead- ing competitive geocomposites.

AdvanEdge is manufactured from a high density polyethylene resin that Lateral pillars meets the structural property and maintain pipe chemical resistance requirements of rigidity ASTM D 3350.

The slim-line design of AdvanEDGE (only 1.5" thick) allows for installation in a narrow trench, easily cut with high- speed trenching equipment, and with minimal surface disruption.

Specific instructions for high- ways, streets, parking areas, and other paved surfaces are given in ASTM D 6088, “Standard Practice For Installation of Geocomposite Pavement Drains.” 1.AdvanEDGE pipe can be installed in a narrow trench with either face of the panel against the structure or soil to be drained. 2.Means shall be provided to hold the panel flush against the trench wall or structure during backfilling. 3.Depending on soil permeability and drainage requirements, the trench may be backfilled with the excavated materi- al, coarse aggregate, gravel, or natural sand. 4.When excavated material is used, the trench shall be backfilled to the desired limit (excluding bituminous or rock material larger than one inch) placed in two layers, and compacted. 5.When either coarse aggregate, grav- el, or natural sand is used, the trench shall be backfilled in two lifts and each lift compacted to the satisfaction of the engineer. 6.Joints shall be made using ADS AdvanEDGE couplers prior to placing AdvanEDGE in the trench. Use two coupling pins on each AdvanEDGE coupler. Couplers should be placed under the fabric at the joint to prevent backfill infiltration. To accomplish this, split the fabric seam and lay back the fabric approximately 8 in. Install the- coupler with two pins. Replace fabric over the coupler and secure the fabric with suitable tape. 7.Outlets should be placed as needed. Fittings for transition from the Advan- EDGE pipe to 4" or 6" round pipe shall be ADS end outlets or side outlets as required. 8.End caps should be used at all ter- mination points to prevent soil infiltra- tion into system. 7 Split CouplingSide OutletEnd Cap End Outlet45°Wye (Horizontal)Tee (Horizontal) ALASKA NORTH DAKOTA MONTANA WASHINGTON MINNESOTA SOUTH DAKOTA MAINE WISCONSIN VT NH MICHIGAN IOWA NEW YORK OREGONIDAHO NEBRASKA MA RI CT UTAH NEVADAWYOMING PENNSYLVANIA ILLINOIS OHIO INDIANA NJ MD D E W.VA KANSAS COLORADO VIRGINIA MISSOURI KENTUCKY NEW MEXICO ARIZONAOKLAHOMA TENNESSEE TEXAS CALIFORNIA N.

TECHNICAL NOTE TN 3.02 ® AdvanEDGE Hydraulic Performance June 2016 This technical note provides the inlet flow and core flow capacities of AdvanEDGE to be used in determining sizing and spacing of a subsurface drainage system. Inlet Flow Capacity The inlet flow of an AdvanEDGE panel is dependent upon perforation sizing and whether or not a geotextile is wrapped around the panel. Typically, the inlet flow of the panel is greater than the subbase material and is not a limiting factor in the design. However, inlet flow capacity for AdvanEDGE, with and without a geotextile, is provide in Table 1 for reference. Table 1 AdvanEDGE Inlet Flow Capacity Product Inlet Flow Capacity, GPM/Sq.

Core Flow Capacity ASTM D4716, Standard Test Method for Determining the (In-Plane) Flow Rate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivity for a Geosynthetic Using a Constant Head, was the original procedure for determining the flow capacity of AdvanEDGE. However, this procedure only addresses the panel installed in a horizontal plane, while the majority of applications install AdvanEDGE vertically. The Kentucky Transportation Center devised a flow test that determines flow rates in the vertical plane. The procedure has been accepted as an appropriate measurement of flow capacity and is included in ASTM D7001 Geocomposite for Pavement Edge Drains and Other Flow Applications.
