ASTM D6088-06 (R2022) PDF Download

ASTM D6088-06 (R2022) is a standard practice that provides recommendations and guidelines for the installation of buried geocomposite drains used for pavement drainage applications, such as highway edgedrains and under-drains. The standard aims to minimize installation-caused deformation or damage and ensure long-term performance of these products. It also helps in creating a stable underground environment for the drains, considering the variability of natural ground conditions.

This standard excludes product performance criteria like compressibility, flow capacity, inlet capacity, and geotextile selection and use. It is the responsibility of the product manufacturer, specifier, and project engineer to verify that the specified product, when installed according to the procedures outlined in this practice, will meet the necessary performance criteria established by the owner. The standard includes a commentary in Appendix X1 that highlights important factors related to product performance and installation for achieving a satisfactory installation.
