- This study investigates the contribution of road deposited sediment (RDS) to clogging and the operational lifecycle of Highway Filter Drains (HFDs). This is significant because previous study on HFDs had not covered the full range of field conditions tested in this study, and because systematic evaluation in the paper provided new findings, for example by establishing that the industry practice of assuming a single RDS particle size profile for filter drain asset management purposes is unlikely to be representative of a trunk road catchment profile. The findings from the study have implications for HFD asset management practitioners across the World.
