MDM (Monsanto Drainage Mat) Highway Drainage Mat
The report discusses the construction and evaluation of the Monsanto Drainage Mat (MDM) placed along a five mile section of Interstate Route 70 (I-70) in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The MDM drainage system was constructed along the westbound lanes while a conventional pavement base drain system was constructed eastbound along I-70. The conventional pavement base drain system is being used as a control section to compare the MDM's construction and performance. The method used to install the MDM may be particularly interesting to highway engineers because of the mechanized MDM placement and the fact that the MDM trench was backfilled with excavated trench material (existing subbase). The MDM material was placed by an apparatus, supplied by the Monsanto Company, which was attached to the excavating trencher. The MDM material specifications and the contract bid prices for the two drainage systems constructed are also included in this report.
