Culverts Installed In The Creek!

Finally we are able to cross the creek, this guy we hired is a wild man on the skidsteer. We couldn't be happier how it turned out!

I always thought they had to be dug more into the ground, guess not. I feel much better now about how I just threw mine into the ditch and dumped dirt over it. well rock actually.

[@houndsmanone4563]

The crew did a bang-up job prepping for the corrugated pipes. Full-watch.

[@BlueSpringFarm]

The guy in the skidsteer was definitely getting it done! Glad we hired them. 👍🏻

[@idontcare1762]

That's a good start but there is still a lot to add to prevent erosion from rendering it unusable.

[@josephlee7325]

Put bags of concrete like retaining blocks but leave in the bags when you are done wet it down and let set

They have a life of maybe 3 or 4 years, depending on weather/climate.

0:43 why did it look like she was crying

[@scottyb4606]

That operator placed a lot of dry uncompacted dirt around the culverts. Expect some erosion when the rains come.

[@123danks]

You guys laid some big pipe!

[@user-kg1gn9ts4v]

I have to do something similar. Problem is I will need concrete trucks and more to get across Any recommendations about the proper way to approach?

[@rvdreamland5887]

Can you tell me how much hiring a crew to do this could run? We are looking at buying land with a creek but it has a flood zone so we aren’t sure if we should go through with it. We are trying to see if we have enough saved to get culverts.. we are trying to pay all cash so we don’t want to run into unforeseen expenses

[@arneanka4633]

Is the passage washed out yet or you repaired it?

[@BlueSpringFarm]

It’s still standing and has been great!

[@Шаромышкин]

doesn't look like it's gonna hold a truck or just heavy vehicle. ...

[@joshua1auhsoj]

Where did you buy the culvert pipe from?

[@rasa983]

How wide is culvert? 36”?

[@BlueSpringFarm]

Yes both are 36” by 20ft long.

[@charlesmetherd9136]

Good video except for that obnoxious background noise.

[@timlowe3131]

wind screens cost like 75 cents. get some for your mics. will make your videos tolerable on folks' ears.

[@mhazel9551]

Pipe looks good and all but they backfilled it with topsoil.. Not good

[@mhazel9551]

Don't try to concrete the bank around the ends of the pipe. Get some good 6" rip rap and put it on there. That will hold and also look much better.

[@BlueSpringFarm]

We were concerned at first as well but we are very happy we saved some money instead of buying and bringing select fill in, the dirt compacted well over the past months. As far as the sides we added a concrete bag wall. It’s been holding up well. See our video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYKXg6yQp7l2f68

[@mhazel9551]

Looks like you're out west somewhere? Nothing but topsoil lol, I used to work out there a lot. Keep an eye on the culvert pipes during large amounts of rainfall. Watch the upper end and make sure the water doesn't start swirling if you know what I mean. That's will wash a road out in no time. Concrete bag wall looks good though!

[@mhazel9551]

Just trying to give some advice from an experienced operator.

[@BlueSpringFarm]

Thank you! We like feedback good or bad, we are hoping this will last for awhile. I’ll keep an eye on it during big storms👍🏻
