CULVERT INSPECTION--PART I: EXAMINING THE MAIN STRUCTURE

Regular culvert inspection insures that water may flow safely through an embankment, locates any weakness in the culvert structure, and assures that there are no changes in the watershed which may affect flow as well as detecting possible environmental impacts. Inspection procedures are detailed for concrete, timber, metal and masonry culverts with attention to structural and foundation strength, embankment stability and other factors.
