Cost-Effective Culvert Rehab INFRASTEEL® is a cost-effective way to avoid road damage caused by corrugated metal and concrete culvert failure. It is cheaper to "slip line" a failing culvert than to cut the road and replace it. INFRASTEEL® is competitively priced compared to other slip lining products and culvert repair products. Environmentally Friendly INFRASTEEL® is environmentally friendly. Its steel composition and installation methodologies are benign to the environment. Steel and concrete have been used for many years for road and bridge construction without contamination issues. 50 to 100 Year Life Expectancy The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) performed destructive testing on all culvert products currently in use on the California road system. Caltrans found that smooth wall carbon steel outperformed all other products in abrasion resistance. The annular space between the INFRASTEEL® liner and the failing culvert structure is pumped with grout, providing another layer of protection. We are confident in our 50 to 100 year life expectancy.

Cities can control stormwater on roadways by implementing several strategies to reduce flooding, protect infrastructure, and minimize environmental damage: 1. Green Infrastructure: Uses natural processes to capture, filter, and store rainwater, reducing runoff and recharging groundwater. 2. Permeable Pavement: Porous surfaces allow water to pass through, preventing flooding by storing and filtering water into the ground. 3. Rain Gardens and Bioswales: These are vegetated areas that absorb and filter rainwater, preventing overflow onto roadways. 4. Rainwater Harvesting: Collecting and storing rainwater reduces runoff and can be used for irrigation and other non-potable purposes. 5. Land Use Planning: Limiting development in flood-prone areas and restoring wetlands helps absorb excess water and prevent flooding. 6. Culvert Rehabilitation: Improving culvert infrastructure reduces flooding risks and protects roadways and bridges. These strategies help cities manage stormwater effectively, reducing erosion, infrastructure damage, and pollution.
Our Slip Lining Process! InfraSteel’s slip lining process is a safe, environmentally friendly, and effective method for rehabilitating failing culverts. We provide a template for the liner shape and size, guiding the installation and ensuring proper alignment during welding. Critical alignment points include the longitudinal weld seams and tangent points at the bottom of the liner. The process involves careful insertion of the new liner, securing it with tack welds, and using cross bracing to maintain shape during grouting. Grout ports are strategically placed to ensure proper fill, and tapered lead sections or tracks may be added to ease insertion through obstructions. Installers must choose the appropriate method for assembling and welding the liner sections and notify InfraSteel of their selection.

A culvert bridge, while less visible than traditional bridges, serves the same purpose of allowing water to flow beneath while vehicles pass overhead. The distinction between a culvert and a bridge is based on span length: if the span is 20 feet or less, it’s a culvert; if more, it’s a bridge. Culvert bridges are easier and less expensive to construct, using materials like concrete, steel, or corrugated metal, and are designed to handle significant load-bearing requirements with minimal foundational depth. Regular inspections and timely repairs are crucial to maintaining their structural integrity, especially against failures like corrosion and scouring. InfraSteel provides tailored solutions for rehabilitating failing culvert bridges, offering durable liners with a lifespan of 70-100 years that match the existing structure's shape and meet stringent load-bearing demands, ensuring long-term reliability.
Headwall maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and safety of culverts, which support roadways, railways, and bridges. Headwalls, typically made of steel or precast concrete, prevent soil erosion, turbulent water scouring, and dangerous movements of the culvert due to soil and hydraulic pressures. Regular inspections, ideally conducted annually during low water levels, are essential for detecting structural damage early and preventing costly repairs or replacements. Proper maintenance includes checking the structural integrity, seal between the pipe and headwall, and clearing debris or plant growth. Partnering with a reliable culvert rehabilitation provider like InfraSteel ensures high-quality, durable solutions that improve hydraulic systems and stabilize inlet soil conditions.
Culverts degrade over time due to environmental factors, leading to structural deficiencies and diminished hydraulic capabilities. InfraSteel offers a comprehensive, cost-effective, and non-disruptive culvert slip-line rehabilitation process that includes problem identification, cause determination, and custom-designed solutions. Our services involve thorough inspections, tailored recommendations, and collaboration with hydraulic engineers to ensure optimal results. InfraSteel’s slip lining is a durable alternative to full replacements, addressing specific site requirements while minimizing traffic disruption and expediting permitting.
