What Is Culvert Pipe?

Culvert pipe can be used in any situation where you need to direct water runoff or overflow such as rainwater to another location. For example, culvert pipe is commonly used to move irrigation water or direct run-off water from one place to the other. Culvert pipe is commonly used in residential, farming, and other construction projects. This type of pipe is also known as sluice pipe or flume pipe when it is used in situations where water needs to be directed elsewhere to a designated location.

Culvert pipe is also commonly used to direct water from one side of a road, going directly underneath the road, to the other side of the road. In this case, the culvert pipe needs to be very strong, durable, and able to withstand heavy loads from road traffic.

The durability and thickness of steel pipe gives it greater strength over concrete or corrugated pipe. Therefore, steel pipe is commonly used in culvert applications. At P.I.T. Pipe, we supply a wide variety of types of pipe that can be used as culverts. Because the culvert pipe we carry is stronger and more durable, it can be used for more aggressive applications and will usually outlast many other types of pipe. Reconditioned or used pipe is a great and affordable option for these types of applications because culvert pipe does not need to meet exact or strict specifications.

Plastic is better than metal for several reasons. First, it will never rust out on you. EVER. Second, get the type with the smooth inner wall. It stays cleaner and doesn't hold silt and debri. As for strenght, both rely on preasure from the fill material being equal on all sides. You need a certain amount of fill on top based on the size of the pipe you install to reach maximum strength. For an RV, you will need this. For a car or light tractor, the amount on top isn't as important.

Since you want to create a crossing over a ravine, go as big as you can. That ravine was created by allot of water. The size of it shoud tell you the amount of flow you have to deal with. 24 inches is a huge pipe and should be able to handle most situations, but there is a reason they make bigger pipes and/or install two side by side.

Putting grates in front will cause more problems than it would solve. Small leaves will wash right through it, but with a grate in front, they will create a dam. It's very rare to see one along highways or anyplace that they are put in profesionally, so I'm thinking you don't need one. I don't have any on mine and so far haven't had any issues.

Backfill is usually with clean soil, but sometimes sand is used instead. Rock isn't any good because of the voids and dificulty in getting it all compacted. At the entrance to the pipe you will need to put something down to stop erosion. I've used sacks of cement for this with good results. Of course, it's not as attractove as rock. If you use rock, be sure it's big enough not to wash away or let the water through it. Small rock is useless during a heavy storm.

And always plan for the very worse that can happen.
