Why Is Regular Culvert Clearance Vital?

  • Ensures Safety for Structure Users: Keeping culverts clear guarantees the safety of those using the structure above.

  • Prevents Water Flow Blockage: Removing obstructions helps maintain a smooth water flow, preventing overtopping.

  • Preserves Structural Integrity: Regular clearance protects the culvert from erosion, ensuring it remains structurally sound.

  • Mitigates Toxic Gas Risks: Clearing waste prevents the build-up of toxic gases, safeguarding maintenance workers.

  • Reinforces Weak Spots: Regular maintenance strengthens eroded areas, preventing potential collapses.

How Do We Clear Your Culvert Drains?

Inspection

We start by inspecting the culvert drain to assess the extent of the blockage. Using advanced CCTV cameras, we get a clear view inside the culvert, accurately identifying the issue.

Access

Depending on the accessibility of the culvert drain, we use various cleaning methods tailored to the specific situation:

  • High-Pressure Water Jetting: This widely used technique involves using high-pressure water jets to break up debris and flush it out of the culvert effectively.

  • Root Cutting: If root intrusions are present, we remove the roots to clear the path for proper cleaning.

  • Manual Cleaning: For smaller or hard-to-reach culverts, our experts manually remove debris using shovels, rakes, and other tools.
