(OP)
Could someone provide me with a good textbook definition of "right of way" and "invert." The "invert" that I am speaking of is in reference to culverts and such. I have a good working definition of the terms, but I am curious about the technical definition as I often believe the terms are incorrectly used. Thanks.





RE: Definitions
I'm not sure what context you mean when refering to "right of way". Please clarify and I might be able to help

Tonks description on invert is spot on. It is usually associated with fluid flow and hence the lowest point is of interest.
RE: Definitions
The previous post was right for invert, but note that it refers to the bottom of the channel (inside of the conduit) not the bottom of the pipe.

ROW (right-of-way) in highway design is basically the land that the government authority has acquired into which to put their road, toe drains, etc. Usually, governments buy lots of land in case of futher expansion. Sometimes, as in India here, that is not possible and we only have 30m from centreline of dual-carriageway. In some cases, we have had to build retaining walls because, although there was lots of vacant land, it wasn't in the acquired ROW.

With reference to right of way, this is the defined boundary as described in a registered legal (lands) instrument wherein the lands are permissed or sold (as fee simple) for a defined purpose, such as a road, utility corridor, buffer zones or working areas. In Alberta, there really are no such instruments as entitled easements anymore, they are simply registered as right-of-ways. Since they are registered they have accompanying plans and are pinned.
