Why Skilled Roadway Contractors Are Vital for Structural Culvert Projects

One of the essential constructions in roadways is culvert building. A culvert is a tunnel that is constructed beneath the roadways or railways. A culvert acts like a bridge for transportation to cross the stream. Culverts constructed on roadways are mainly used for cross drainage purposes or to pass electrical cables from one side to the other. Building underground culverts is challenging and requires experienced culvert building contractors. Contacting specialized highway construction contractors with expertise in building quality and different types of culverts makes the culvert project successful.

Different types of culverts are seen in highway construction.

  1. Pipe culvert: These are single pipe culverts or multiple, based on the channel width.  The pipe culverts are made mainly of concrete.

  2. Pipe arch culvert: These are similar to pipe culverts, but pipe arch culverts are half-circular in shape.  When the water flow is heavy, pipe arch culverts are used to carry away sewage easily through pipe arch culvert outlets.

  3. Box culvert: The culvert is constructed in a rectangular shape mainly to sweep away the rainwater. These culverts are commonly seen under the railroads and roadways. Most people and animals use them to cross the roadways.

  4. Arch Culverts: Arch culverts are entirely similar to pipe culverts, but have a concrete floor beneath the arch. Mainly used in narrow passages.

  5. Bridge culvert: Bridge culverts are built on canals and rivers, serving as a pavement for vehicles.

Reasons for culvert failures

  1. Material quality and maintenance: When poor or second-grade concrete materials are used in building culverts, it impacts the longevity of the culvert. So, it is suggestive to contact a reliable roadway construction provider to avoid early erosion and culvert collapse.

Regular maintenance is required when steel is used as a primary material to avoid corrosion.

  1. Erosions: Unskillfully constructed culverts soon erode in the adjacent areas of the culvert, causing the structures to become unbalanced, resulting in the collapse of the culvert.

  2. Excessive sedimentation: If the ground conditions are not adequately evaluated before the construction, it leads to excessive settlement, resulting in the separation of the culvert arches.

  3. Too much load: When loads are not correctly estimated, it causes the culvert system to fail, affecting vehicles moving on it.
