Overview
Background & policy context:
The European standard EN 12697-40 “In-Situ drain-ability” has been transposed into Swiss national standards. It turns out that the new drain-ability measuring method for PA pavements includes several modifications as compared to the replaced Swiss method and the results cannot be compared.
The old Swiss specifications concerning the draining ability of PA pavements is obsolete, the definition of new specifications is required.
Objectives:
This project will enable the IMP laboratory to define new drainability standards for porous asphalt pavements in conformity with EN 12697-40.
