    The document discusses drainage design and protection works for the Andkhoy-Qaisar Road Project in Afghanistan. It specifies that guiding ditches and dams shall provide unimpeded water flow into and out of culverts based on topographical surveys. Side drainage must be rehabilitated in cut sections, including removing debris, adding retaining walls, and reestablishing unlined drains. Protection works like gabions, stone pitching, or riprap shall be provided for embankments, culverts, river training, and around bridges to prevent scouring where it has occurred or may occur.

    Andkhoy –Qaisar Road Project
    CONTRACT REF. MPW / 333 / ADB / CON2 ALMAR-SHIRINTAGAB

    B 110. Drainage Design

    Inlet and Outlet Control at Culverts

    Guiding ditches and guiding dams shall be provided wherever necessary to give an unimpeded flow of
    water run off into and out of culverts.

    The locations of guiding ditches shall be selected by site inspection and by reference to the 1 to 2,000
    scale topographical survey plans.

    Guiding ditches are to have a 3 metre wide invert and side slopes of 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical.

    Guiding dams are to have a 3 metre wide crest and side slopes of 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical. The
    guiding dams are to be constructed to the same requirements as embankments (re. Clause C 505).

    Rehabilitation of Side Drainage in Cut Sections

    Effective side drainage shall be provided in all cut sections to ensure no surface water run off ponds
    against the carriageway and that all surface water run off is led away from the cut section into culverts
    or towards ground that slopes away from the road.

    This rehabilitation of side drainage shall involve:

    (i) removal of scree material and boulders from the foot of cut slopes;

    (ii) provision of retaining walls formed by gabion boxes at the foot of cut slopes at locations
    where there is a likely hood of future falls of scree material;

    (iii) re-establishing unlined side drains adjacent to existing cut slopes.

    The locations of these works shall be selected by site inspection and by reference to the 1 to 2,000
    scale topographical survey plans.

    B 111. Design of Protection Works

    Protection works for embankment slopes, culvert inlets and outlets, river training works, guiding dams
    and around bridge abutments and piers shall be provided where scour has occurred or where there is a
    risk of future scour taking place.

    Protection works shall be constructed using gabions, grouted stone pitching or rip rap in accordance
    with the following requirements:

    (i) Gabions

    Gabion mattresses and boxes shall have galvanised steel wire mesh and shall be laid on a
    geotextile filter membrane, which is suitable for the underlying soil. The physical and
    dimensional properties of the stone filling shall conform to gabion manufacturer’s
    recommendations.
