I am putting in a road and need to install 3 different culverts under farm road.
Overall, they are relatively shallow unless I do a lot of road buildup in order to get enough coverage to meet 18 minimum. I suspect, putting the culvert at 組rade with water flow, with a 12 culvert, I壇 have between 10 coverage over the top. I壇 have to do quite a bit of road buildup for a long distance in order to 都often�he culvert bump adequately.
At this moment, the local NG service is putting in a new 12 NG line across my property. They are extremely nice and asking if they can help me do anything while they are there 9n the place. I mentioned I was moving my road to a new road! But need to install a new culvert. I was just taking with them and one of the main construction leads asked if the amount of water would be handled by a 12 pipe? I知 sure it would, as with my new road build, I知 diverting the large portion of runoff around rather than under the road. They å�Œffered using some 12 NG steel pipe as a culvert if they have some pieces é¼*eft over?
I know that would be the size I壇 use for a culvert. The only question I have is whether I can avoid a big 蘇ump in the road if I use the steel pipe rather than HDPE culvert pipe of the same diameter.
Any thoughts? I have another spot that I could really use a 12 high strength lower coverage culvert as well. I gues worse case scenario is that it crushes or fails somehow, down the road. In which case I壇 have to remove it and begin again. But, if it worked and I didn稚 have to make a big hump over the waterway, I壇 be a lot happier with how it functioned and looked.
Do you see any problems with going that route?
