The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) bridge inventory includes only bridges that are over 20 feet long. While this is an important step in ensuring the safety of drivers, it does not account for other non-bridge structures, such as bridges that are 20 feet long or less, culverts, and large pipes.

In this culvert hydraulic principles guide, we’ll cover the basics of channels, culvert hydraulic principles, and other details. From understanding flow conveyance to covering inlet and outlet control mechanisms, you’ll better grasp why culvert hydraulics matter.

Culverts serve many purposes and fit into multiple applications. For instance, bridge culverts provide a supportive structure for roadway and railway traffic while directing water flow in a non-interruptive manner. In addition to hydraulic fundamentals, a basic understanding of terminology and gover...

Here's how culvert headwalls and wing walls work together.

Wing walls and headwalls work together by improving the flow of a conduit, finish, and secure the ends of box culverts and bridge sections. They come in many types, including free-standing, precast aprons, and parapets. While improving upstream hydraulics, they stabilize inlet soil conditions.

Is culvert slip lining eco-friendly?

Culvert replacement can interrupt the existing aquatic and vegetative life that surrounds an existing culvert area. Not only does it impact the vegetation and animals within its vicinity, but also the traffic from roadways or railways.

InfraSteel slip liner solutions are executed with steel and concrete materials, which have been shown over time to be benign to the environment. In addition, culvert slip lining rehabilitation is a noninvasive repair method that limits the amount of impact to surface traffic and the surrounding environment.

In developed or urban areas, practicing helpful methods for managing city stormwater can prevent eroded soil, bacteria growth, and other harmful pathogens from entering streams, rivers, wetlands, and rivers. Instead of allowing precipitation to cause flooding or infrastructure damage, cities should educate themselves on snowmelt or rainwater flow locations.

If you're interested in culvert slip lining, we've got the article for you!

Over time, previously built culverts start to lose their structural ability and begin to fail. A culvert replacement is one option depending on the situation and the amount of corrosive or abrasive damage to the culvert invert. However, time, budget, resourcing, and rerouting traffic are substantial...
