We are in the same boat. Our drifts are dry, unless it rains, in which case they super flood. I love your solution here, and barring side erosion, I think it'll work fantastically. These culvert pipes are extremely expensive, for what they are, but very worth it. Good luck, and thanks for sharing :)
Nice video, I just had this done on my property with a 48 in culvert. I was really happy to have access to my back field. It made a way where there was no way (just like Christ did for us 😊)!
Just bumped into your channel - cool build, and nice property. We too are building out our property, but aren't "in town" as yours appears to be. Very cool setup you've got there, and love the work you're doing.
Thanks! We're lucky that our place is real close to just about everything, but still feels very secluded. I appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your place!
I need to do this out in a field that I want to put an airstrip on but wasn’t sure how it gets done. I will need 60’ of 36” culvert I figure. Watching this gives me an idea on how it’s done. Great video. Thanks.
Hey, I am in Ohio as well and I am finally going to do the culvert bridge to open up my back acres to vehicle traffic. This is a great visual of my idea, I am going to use a 36" pipe and the ground is closer to level but other than that pretty much the same steps. Hope it all worked out. Subscribed.
So far ours is holding up great! It's been awesome being able to access the property beyond our creek. Good luck with your project 🤙 #OhioAgainstTheWorld
Just when I’d about given up on finding someone who spanned a steep sided creek with a culvert YT recommends your channel. Like the other guy I have about 25’ to span and the creek is about 18” deep. I plan on using three 48” culverts if I can find them. I’m going to use gabion cages with rip rap to tie them together and creek gravel to fill in the middle. I’ll top it with fill dirt. I subscribed.
Not really. Our creek is only a few inches deep most of the time so the only fish are minnows / creek chubs / crayfish etc. But the pipe sits slightly lower than the creek bottom so water still flows even when the water level is low.
Wow! To do what you did we would be in all kinds of trouble. Wisconsin requires all sorts of permits just to put in a culvert. Then the runoff can't go to a water source. It goes to a retaining pond. We can't pollute our streams with dirty water. Which state are you doing this in? You said you're from Ohio but you didn't say where you were developing your property.
🤞🤞 I don't agree with most permits but especially something like this. I own all sides of the culvert and no water was diverted so I figured I didn't need one. The two excavators didn't think so either. Let's keep that between us just in case haha
@@CityBillyAdventures Less government is a good thing unless you're a liberal that likes being told how to live every aspect of your life by the government.
60" was the biggest we could find. I wanted it to span the entire width of the creek, and also be as tall as possible so the slope of the dirt was as gradual as possible. It's handled the creek as high as it gets, several times without issue. The rip rap at the mouth makes a big difference.
1. I didnt have enough for both sides 🤪 2. The downstream side isn't affected by erosion quite as much 3. I'm hoping to add one or two more lengths of pipe on the downstream side someday and I didn't want to have to remove riprap to install more pipe But mostly because I didn't have enough
Just ran across you on RUclips for the first time. Ironically, the video of the culvert install greatly caught my attention. I have property in Wyoming with a creek running right through the middle that I am considering on taking the same approach with as you did. However, this creek is easily 12 ft deep and roughly 25 ft wide. The weather is generally dry out there but can get impressive rains in the spring. My concern would be excessive erosion and clearly I would have to use larger diameter culvert. Have you had any issues with shifting of the pipe or erosion? Of course I'd be curious about the cost, but that will vary with the area I'm sure. Also, did you need any sort of permits from the state since you were dealing with a natural waterway?
Thanks for watching! So far we haven't had any issues with erosion or shifting 🤞. I think adding as much rock as possible makes a big difference. All together our project cost around $7k. The 60 in x 20 ft pipe was $3k by itself, then the rest was for the time and machines. We saved a bunch by having the fill dirt on site already. Without seeing your situation, I'd imagine you could put a bunch of pipe side-by-side and cover with dirt. Lots of stone packed in between and basketball-sized rock at the ends to handle erosion. Good luck!
I'm not sure. I wanted to be able to drive my pickup truck over it, and eventually a large backhoe loader. The guys that installed it drove their CAT 315C across numerous times, which weighs over 36,000 pounds. So I think I'll be good 😎
So it dosen't have trout add some brown trout they live in those creeks where i live in the balkans tho in the balkans we do not have bluegills and creek chubs but we have european chubs
We only put it on the side where water flows in, to help buffer against erosion. I have thoughts of maybe adding a second length of pipe on the downstream side so I can make the bridge wider. If I ever do that, any rip rap on that end would get buried and go to waste. But mostly it's just not really necessary on the downstream side.
As the channel grows, hopefully I can afford better music haha The pipe alone was $3k, altogether the project was $7k. We saved a bunch by having the fill dirt already on site. I'm told the price of corrugated pipe has skyrocketed since Covid.
So 4 grand for the construction company. Thank because I always wonder how much it cost for something like this but no body ever will tell that part. Sorry for the questions but did they give u bid or was it by the hour
Yes $4k for the construction company. That price included the stone they put in too. They quoted the job ahead of time. I've used these guys for a few big projects - they're good dudes. Hard to find these days
A bridge is a structure that carries a road over an obstacle like a river, ravine, ditch, etc. There's no structure that's carrying the road here. It just a road over a culvert.

Yeah I was floored by the cost of a round tube of plastic. But it's been extremely effective so far. Thanks for watching!

Yes it's awesome to finally be able to access "new" parts of the property
This is something I need to do at my mother in law’s property to get to the back pasture easier. Culvert, rock and dirt. Easy peasy. lol.
Easy in theory!

Got another channel to watch along with my Andrew Camarata. Hard to find quality videos, but got it here. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Good stuff! This is exactly like my culvert project currently
Nice! Good luck! It made such a difference at our place

Nice video!! I need to do this on my property. Good idea rip rapping the upstream side of the. “Bridge”
Thanks!

Sounds like you've got a solid plan. The more rock, the better for sure. Good luck!
Nice startup channel. Soften up that background music a little and I'd ditch that whole 2:53 intro though...
Amazing 😮
Well done 😊 what a good job 🙏
Thanks you!
Good job
Thanks!
Awesome
Thanks!
Great job, how much did that project run you?
Thanks! The pipe alone was $3k. Other materials/equipment + labor was another $4k so $7k total. Saved a bunch by having the fill dirt on hand already
Was fish passage considered in culvert design and placement???
Not really. Our creek is only a few inches deep most of the time so the only fish are minnows / creek chubs / crayfish etc. But the pipe sits slightly lower than the creek bottom so water still flows even when the water level is low.
You did very nice work though. Be well and blessed.
Thanks!
belle famille et beau projet

Maybe I shouldn't say 🤣
How long did the permitting process take?
No comment 🙄
@@CityBillyAdventures I wish I had your level of not give a shit lol, I hope your county government doesn't make you rip it out

How did you decide on a 60” culvert, any chance big big rain will wash it out?

What was out the door cost to complete the project?
We are looking to do the same exact thing

@@CityBillyAdventures FLIP!!!! $3000????!!!! It came with an SUV, A big screen TV and a mini bar ....right? 😧😳😲😯
"The price went wayyy up during COVID" they say....
If only my salary did too amirite??
Why the concrete rip rap only on one side of the culvert?
1. I didnt have enough for both sides 🤪
2. The downstream side isn't affected by erosion quite as much
3. I'm hoping to add one or two more lengths of pipe on the downstream side someday and I didn't want to have to remove riprap to install more pipe

What is the load capacity for this culvert bridge?

So what fish are in that creek
It's a very small creek. Mostly creek chubs and some small bluegill. Hoping someday to dig it much deeper and add trout
So it dosen't have trout add some brown trout they live in those creeks where i live in the balkans tho in the balkans we do not have bluegills and creek chubs but we have european chubs
Why did you only put rip rap on one side out of curiosity? Is it on the upstream or downstream side?

It may stay stopped up and have to keep digging it out hope it works for you
Thanks nz
I’m about to do the same thing. How much was it total?
The 6'x20' pipe was $3k. Everything else was $4k additional. Luckily we were able to secure the fill dirt for free
Whats the cost of it roughly?
The pipe alone was $3k. Other materials/equipment + labor was another $4k so $7k total. Saved a bunch by having the fill dirt on hand already

Rip rap both sides so erosion doesn’t take out your downstream edge…hardface upstream with larger rock too
I'm hoping to eventually add another section or two of pipe on the downstream side. After that I'll beef up the erosion control
That's not called a bridge. That's just a culvert with a driveway made out of grass.
I mean it literally bridges the gap but call it what you will I guess.
☝️this guy gets it
@zhugeliang777. You are correct. Not a bridge but then again he is saying he's a city boy.
@@darkflame1990 its just a road and culvert.
