Simply, a culvert is a structure that allows water to flow under a road, driveway, or similar obstruction from one side to the other, also used for drainage ditches.
Besides installing a new culvert for new construction, old culverts fail for a variety of reasons.


The purpose is to protect the integrity of the road by draining rain and snow melt away from the roadway to a lower elevation, preventing flooding and keeping the stability of the road subgrade intact.
Prevents water from carving its own, independent path.
Reduces sediment and pollutants from draining into improper areas.
Protection of environmental natural waterways from road debris.
