Rehabilitation of Culverts and Buried Storm Drain Pipes
Departments of transportation (DOTs) are increasing employment of asset management
strategies in response to federal and state initiatives. Low-cost and effective treatments
applied throughout the life of the asset can be employed prior to significant asset degradation,
which otherwise would likely require a high-cost reactionary treatment.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 581: Rehabilitation of Culverts and Buried Storm Drain Pipes
collects and summarizes rehabilitation practices (including full and partial rehabilitation)
used by state DOTs for culvert and buried storm drain pipes.
