- Replacing a large 30" culvert in a driveway. about 2 years ago the homeowner hired me to remove a failing steel culvert because he thought it wasnt needed. earlier this year his entire driveway was washed out from a storm and we decided to re install a new ADS plastic culvert. took 3 months to get the pipe!
equipment used
Kubota KX080
engcon ec209 tilt rotator
peterbilt tandem dump
BWS 20 ton air tilt trailer
International single axle dump
Nice vid thanks for makin
Thanks for watching!
Seems like the pipe isn’t low enough, but I am not experienced in these things.
In an ideal situation the pipe would be lower, but these plastic pipes rely on a stable backfill in order to have strength so it will be fine. Especially for a residential driveway. The homeowner wanted a 30” pipe I tried to suggest a 24” which would give 6” more cover. The video is deceiving there is roughly 6-8” of cover on this pipe.
The original pipe is facing the wrong way
Yea I realized that too but I wasn’t about to tear it out and fix it!
Looks like you did not put the pipes in deep enough, that’s when your camera died, lol. So to compensate just add more dirt on top and hump the drive way? If I was a paying customer I’d have you red the whole job correctly
This job was purely by the customers request. There was an existing steel culvert along with a concrete culvert here. The steel culvert rotted out. Customer wanted a larger one installed. I will make
Mention that to this day there is absolutely zero change in this job. Still looks like the day I left it and the customer is more than happy with it! Yes I would like to see the pipe deeper, but I was digging in a flowing creek and the creek bed was basically solid rock. Not exactly something you wanna spend too much time fussing around with.
