Description
NDLTAP has partnered with TrueNorth Steel to develop a workshop to help county, township and small community personnel learn what it takes to design, install and maintain culverts. Workshop focus areas:
- Pipe sizing – state rules and design methods that engineers use to select properly sized culverts
- Pipe coating selection – options available and how to choose
- Pipe length – how to calculate and order
- Pipe performance – review of slope, interior, flared ends, outlets, velocity, etc.
- Pipe strength – how soil and pipe strength combine
- Pipe installation – pipe survey, bedding, placement, backfill, compaction, and collars. These topics will be covered during a hands-on installation of a corrugated metal pipe (CMP) on a county road.
- Pipe slip lining – extending pipe life
