box culvert bypass

box culvert bypass

box culvert bypass

(OP)
I have a box culvert that cannot be shut down. Its size is 6'x6' and is flowing about a quarter to halfway.  any ideas on how to bypass it?

RE: box culvert bypass

itsleighton,

A couple of ideas come to mind..

1) Dam up the upstream side of the culvert and pump around
2) Install a temporary culvert
3) Construct a temporary diversion channel

Hope this helps.

RE: box culvert bypass

There are subcontractors that deal with bypassing, solely.  They will supply the piping, fittings and emergency pumps. I've recommend Godwynn if they're in your area.

 

RE: box culvert bypass

A culvert can be blocked using sheet metal, plywood barriers, or inflatable culvert plugs.  

Plywood and/or sandbags can also be used as culvert blocks, but are more labor-intensive and pose a higher potential for injury. A wood block may require a headwall with kickers oriented to support the boards or plywood. Place the blocking materials over the upstream end of the culvert.
