Culvert and Storm Drain Inspection

Culvert washouts and failures have significant impact on railway viability, often on par with the consequences of bridge failures.  Culvert and storm drain systems are vital assets that require periodic maintenance and repair to achieve their design service life and proper function.  This course presents methodology for rapid condition evaluation of culverts and buried bridges that establishes a rating system to prevent failure/washout.  The system also provides a framework for managing assets, reducing risk, and prioritizing maintenance and rehabilitation.
