A culvert is used to go across the bottom of a ditch, gulley or creek to allow water to flow through the ditch while allowing you access to your property using a driveway or road.
Daniel Dean can install the pipe with stabilized sand (sand mixed with cement) or without. If the ditch holds water often or is soft, it is a good idea to use the stabilized sand. When stabilized sand dries it becomes almost as hard as concrete.
There are different types of pipe that can be used as a culvert. Some of the most common include:
- reinforced concrete products (RCP)
- black corrugated plastic (HDPE)
- metal corrugated (tin horn)
- pipe
- green plastic (sewer pipe)
