Project description

The two affected culverts are corrugated iron construction approximately 2mtrs high and 3mtrs wide and about 10mtr in length (approx..). Mass concrete has been placed between the culverts (3mtrs apart approximately) and fill under the approaches. At the time of construction, the culverts were horizontally braced with gal pipes to hold the structure in tension and prevent deformation of the curvature of the culverts under load. The failing culvert has lost its pipe bracing as a result is now deformed and it is observed that the intact culvert has lost part of its bracing and repairs to the road surface have already taken place due to deformation.

Replacement of affected corrugated culverts with two or three concrete precast Box Culverts, that includes excavating existing culvert, installation of new foundation slab wing and head walls as well as reconstruction of approaches. This would also involve possible closing the road during construction, putting in a bypass or finding a detour around the construction site during construction phase.
