The Massive Culvert Pipe That Changed Everything

[@Padoinky]

Spacial assessment and the ability to identify and align material by purpose/shape/size, is a type of artistic skill like that of a designers, painters, sculptors, architects, etc - a real and tangible gift

[@jamesa.rodriguez8598]

It appears that it has structural integrity, functionality, and aesthetics. I can't wait to see the finished work. God bless you and yours now and forever. Amen

[@eng.temp.180]

Impressive project. The stonework looks great. Not many people use a sledge hammer anymore. Good that your son works with you.

[@harkbelial]

That red truck is a beauty

[@njonebale7889]

D-Boss!….that looks very good!….I’ve built natural stone patios and steps my whole career and you got that looking like Manhattan!

[@henryg683]

The old bricklaying eye coming into action Mike I love it being a bricklayer too!!! It’s definitely shaping up nicely and great to see Max on site with you!!!!

[@papierskispropertyservices2532]

Solid work. Gotta feel good to be able to access the property finally with a functioning bridge.

[@jeffterhune8573]

Going to be beautiful when done.

Very creative and functional! Great Job!

[@brentkingnwagent1347]

Beautiful work. It is going to be so nice. Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday.

[@wingman8447]

Good job! Your masonry skills made it look pretty

[@robertmackewich1108]

Throw 6” or so rocks in the bottom of culvert pipe keeps the natural friction from wearing out the bottom and also larger rocks on the outflow which keeps those inside of pipe. Just did two projects with 20 base

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@robertmackewich1108Yes that's the plan Thanks for the tip

look forward to seeing the finished project

That’s looking awesome.. I need to do something similar on my property.. I have two 36” pipes and when the tropical storms come through they can’t handle the water and end up causing the water to overflow the banks.

A couple of good C-Clamps with a long rope/ steer both ends to guide/steer the culvert into position .Standing on the far side ,safe . Good to go!!

First timer. Ok I am in. That was pretty cool.

[@sethhorwat6099]

Looks awesome Mike!

[@TyphoonVstrom]

Mate, the big stone around the culvert looks great. Part of being a tradesman is the artistic flair it lets you use. Those stones are going nowhere and the whole thing is massively overbuilt in size for the creek it crosses. Throw some nice shrubs in above the stones on the embankment to stabilise the soil and it'll look great and be very resilient.

[@Jdigger4130]

Very neat! Seems like a huge improvement over what was there. I am just curious about the width, I assume cost is the factor on why ya didn't go w a wider pipe? I hope to have a plot someday and make my own world. LOVE this kind of content! Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca

[@ranger178]

that is one big pipe never saw any that big all the creeks with roads over them usually just have 2 or 3 small 3-foot pipes nice rock wall, i guess you should be good for some really heavy flash flooding. do you plan on putting any cement in gaps between the rocks to keep water from sneaking through?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@ranger178 No no cement that will just cause it to push got to let the water go through

[@keithsuits9792]

Love the rock work nice job keep the videos coming

[@billbray5995]

Awesome looking build, but with the power of water, it wont last past a good flooding rain. Concrete road across the creek is the only permanent solution. Had two, 8ft by 24 ft culverts wash out this past year, with rock headwall.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@billbray5995 I hear what you're saying it all depends on what type of creek you're on

[@papierskispropertyservices2532]

Hey Dirt boss. Few questions. Im trying to do the same thing. How much was the pipe? Where can i purchase one? And i left the core a voicemail. No return. I have unprotected creek. i want to access other side of my property as well. Any feedback be greatly appreciated

Is it just me, or do you have some of the rudest comments ive seen on earthworks channels? DP, LD18, C&C equip, diesel creek etc. Never seen such crap talk. Your work quality is top notch and nothing but stupidity in the comments.

Mike is above these trash. Watch any of his Vids and you see experience and expertise shine through. Everything is done above and beyond. Its how he works, his channel showcases his skills. A lot of these KZbinrs you mentioned would not be allowed on a commercial build site.

[@davidmorse8432]

That culvert should be at least twice as long to account for side slopes. I don't know why everyone wants to cheat on the length then they have all kinds of problems getting the roadbed wide enough.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@davidmorse8432 You're wrong man.. you'll see.. nobody's going to put a 40 ft 8 ft tall culvert in 12K worth of culvert.. besides we want to show as much creek frontage as we can.. driveway will be 18ft wide when done

[@davidmorse8432]

@@DIRT-BOSS Well, watch it fail when the heavy rains hit it. I have had to fix so many large culverts that were too short because someone wanted to save money. It ends up costing more in the long run because you have to rework it when it washes out. Corrugated metal pipe like the one you used will rust out on the bottom in 10 years too.

[@Gooditalian]

looks like the road bed is collapsing the culvert.

[@davidmorse8432]

@@Gooditalian That can happen easily with parabolic designs. The compaction of the backfill is critical and very difficult with a light weight culvert because packing the fill in lifts with vibratory compactors can actually lift the culvert up. A heavy concrete culvert has enough weight to stay put during fill compaction.

[@billwendt9571]

Why not PVC pipe? The unit you installed is already half collapsed and has raw ungalvanized edges that will rot out in no time. Nice effort doing the install, but you'll have to redo this again in 10 or so years.

You are fortunate to have an army Corp of engineers advise you. In my state you need an engineering firm then we have endangered species of salamanders and blanding turtles . It be two years before it was scheduled. We have two projects in my town to be replaced .one a small cement bridge,another is a galvanized culvert bridge with guardrails. It is posted 10 ton because of the six foot hole in the culvert covered by a steel l plate. Town had budget million dollars for both jobs.
