including accessories for drainage composites.

| Ed Note: Retain below as appropriate for drainage composites selected.

D. Samples: Submit verification samples for prefabricated drainage composites.
E. Quality Assurance/Control Submittals

1. The specified properties of drainage panels must be supported by test results from
an independent laboratory, documenting the specified flow rate in the plane of the
core and creep performance of the polymer core. The testing conditions shall comply
with ASTM D-4716 as follows:

a. Hydraulic Gradient: 1.0 for vertical installations and 0.08 for horizontal
installations.
b. Normal Pressure (pressure imposed perpendicular to the plane of the core):
Equal to 3600 psf.
c. Creep: Model long term compression of the prefabricated drainage composite
system and determine if the drain product flow channels become restricted with
time. Long term creep/drainage performance shall be determined by measuring
flow after 300 continuous hours under the above referenced normal pressure.
The test method shall utilize a loading system which models the soil/drainage
product interaction.
