Gully with embankments for stormwater drainage in a road embankment.
In the case of embankment sections, the works performed depend on the cross slope of the roadway. If these are sloping upstream, a triangular gutter will be installed to channel the incoming precipitation onto the roadway towards the drainage gullies.

A 'Gully with embankments is a structure designed to manage the drainage of rainwater along a road or embankment. This type of drainage system is designed to prevent the accumulation of rainwater on the road or slope, reducing the risk of erosion and flooding.

Here are some important considerations:

Gully: A gully is an open channel or channel that is placed along the edge of the road or embankment to collect rainwater flowing along the surface.

Embankments: Embankments are concrete or stone blocks that are placed in the gutter bed to create a textured surface that helps filter and direct water into the drainage system.

Stormwater drainage: This system is designed to collect rainwater and direct it safely away from the road or slope, thus avoiding damage and hazards.

Cross slope: The cross slope of the roadway is the slope of the road from side to side. The cross slope is a key factor in the design of the drainage system, as it affects how water flows along the road and towards the gutter. An adequate cross slope is important to ensure that water is efficiently conveyed to the gutter.

In general, the design of a drainage system for a road slope must consider the local topography, the amount of rainfall, the slope of the road and other factors to ensure proper stormwater drainage. A good drainage system contributes to road safety and the durability of the road infrastructure by preventing erosion damage and flooding.
