2. DEFECTS
2.1 LIST OF DEFECTS
Defect
I-175
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-176
PART D – DRAINAGE
DEFECT: OBSTRUCTIONS
Main Causes
- vegetation growth, bushes, fallen trees, debris,
loose silt, loose rocks.
Development, if neglected
- blockage of ditch.
Remedies
- clearing and cleaning.
DEFECT : SILTING
Main Causes
Invert* slope is too flat, the water cannot flow at
sufficient speed.
Development, if neglected:
Blockage of the ditch.
Remedies
- deepen ditch (desilting), and/or provide new mitre
drains (turnouts),
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-177
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-178
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
- the ditch cross-section is too small,
- the ditch gradient is too flat.
Development, if neglected
The shoulder material becomes soft and can easily
erode. The pavement1 can also be flooded and thereby
weakened.
Remedies
- deepen ditch,
- provide new mitre drain.
Main Causes
- vehicular or animal traffic, cave-in.
Development, if neglected
Partial silting will result if the ditch sides have
collapsed. Erosion can start where water flow passes
the blocked section.
Remedies
- reshape/regrade ditch,
- line drain.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-179
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-180
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
Development, if neglected
Remedies
Erosion control:
- regrade/realign drains,
- provide repair scour protection,
- line drain slopes and invert,
- construct cascade.

I-189
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-190
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
Development, if neglected
Remedies
- repair of invert,
- reconstruct at correct level and fall.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-191
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-192
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
- the culvert invert has been constructed too steep
so that the water flows too fast,
- the culvert invert has been constructed too flat with
an excessive drop at the outfall (these are design
or construction mistakes).
Development, if neglected
The stream bed is washed away and a pool or
ravine develops. The culvert downstream head and
wingwalls* and even a section of the culvert and
road embankment can collapse into the pool or
ravine.
Remedies
- erosion repair,
- construct outfall basin1.
Main Causes
- minor settlement,
- scour or erosion.
Development, if neglected
- erosion at the headwall/apron,
- culvert blockage or collapse.
Remedies
- headwall/apron repair.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-193
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-194
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
- settlement of slab,
- erosion.
Development, if neglected
Remedies
Minor repairs.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-195
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-196
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
Natural movement of river bed material by flowing
water.
Development, if neglected
The limits of the paving cannot be seen; vehicles
may drive onto loose river bed material at the edge
of the drift and become damaged or immobilised.
Remedies
Grading/Clearing drift surface. The surface must be
cleared of all loose material.
Main Causes
Accident, flood damage, vandalism.
Development, if neglected
When the drift or causeway becomes submerged
during flood, the edge of the pavement cannot be
seen. Vehicles can accidentally drive into deep
water.
Remedies
Replace guide-posts.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-197
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-198
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
The manhole or connected underground pipes are
blocked and water cannot flow as intended.
Development, if neglected
- flooding of road shoulder* or carriageway1,
- drainage system becomes ineffective, danger of
earth slip or weakening of pavement*.
Remedies
Clear manhole and underground pipes.
Main Causes
Accident, vandalism.
Development, if neglected
Open manholes become a danger to people and
animals. Vegetation and debris have uncontrolled
access and blockage can occur.
Remedies
Replace manhole cover or grating.
1
See List of Terms, Volume I.
I-199
PART D – DRAINAGE
I-200
PART D – DRAINAGE
Main Causes
Silting of the ground area at manhole; manhole
cover level possibly set too low.
Development, if neglected
Possible blockage of the drainage system at the
manhole, due to an undetected accumulation of silt
in the manhole.
Remedies
Clear manhole area.
Main Causes
Silt and debris collecting in the sump has not been
removed sufficiently regularly.
Development, if neglected
Possible blockage of the drainage system at the
catchpit, or down stream due to a build up of silt or
debris.
Remedies
Clean catchpit sump.
