Description
This is part 3 of 3 in the Culvert Hydraulics Series. In this presentation, we will discuss principles of culvert inspections, inspection procedures and recognize criteria impacting decisions to rehab or replace, as well as common methods of culvert repair work. We will then take a look at some failure case studies and how these were remedied.
