WE'VE MADE IT EASY TO CARRY OUT CULVERT REPAIRS AND CULVERT INSPECTIONS
Culverts are an essential component of any transport network as they channel water under roads, rail and other critical infrastructure.
Given the important role they play, it is important to ensure that culvert repairs are carried out on a regular basis to ensure they are well maintained, as their collapse can lead to the closure, disruption or even destruction of transport networks e.g. roads.
How The NoFloods Barriers Make It Easy To Carry Out Culvert Repairs, Inspections and Maintenance
The barrier dams up water flowing into the culvert and in so doing creates a dry work environment.
This enables the culvert to be quickly and easily inspected.
And if need be, culvert repairs can be easily and cost-effectively carried out.
Here are a couple of cases showing how the barriers were effectively used for the inspection, maintenance and repair of culverts.
Water Filled Barrier used for Culvert Inspection
The water dammed up by the barrier creates a dry work environment for quick and easy culvert inspection.
The same approach can be used for other culvert works e.g. culvert repairs.
How To Quickly and Effectively Inspect A Culvert
The culvert inspection was completed within 24 hours from start to finish.
The same strategy can be used for culvert repairs, culvert maintenance, sediment removal and gate restoration projects.
Sediment Removal and Culvert Maintenance
The NoFloods barriers were used to aid in sediment removal and culvert maintenance in the municipality of Frederikssund, Denmark.
The project was successfully completed within 24 hours.
Barriers For All Types Of Culverts
Since the NoFloods barriers stop the flow of water, they can be used for the inspection, maintenance and repair of all types of culverts.
These include:
- Arch Culverts / Arch Pipes.
- Bedlog Culverts / Bedlog Pipes.
- Box Culverts / Box Pipes.
- Circular Culverts / Circular Pipes.
- Masonry Culverts / Masonry pipes.
What You Need To Know About Using the Barrier for Culvert Repairs
- Water height and friction are the only limitations of using the barrier for culvert repairs.
- It is advisable to use the NoFloods Bypass Barrier for culvert repairs or inspections with a high-water flow (a barrier dams up water upstream and transports the water downstream in tubes).
Benefits of Using The NoFloods Barriers for Culvert Repairs
It’s Economical – Compared with other solutions, the NoFloods barrier is economical since it doesn’t require much manpower (only a few trained personnel are required) or heavy machinery.
It’s Environmentally Friendly – The barrier is made of eco-friendly materials which means it’s safe for the environment in which it is deployed. There’s no negative impact on the environment during culvert repairs.
It Can Be Used On Any Terrain – The fact that the barrier easily conforms to the terrain means that it can be used to maintain, repair or inspect culverts located in almost any area e.g. down steep slopes or on flat grounds.
