What Is A Culvert

A culvert is a tunnel used for channelling and directing water. They are used to allow water to pass underneath trails, roads, railways, embankments and can vary significantly in size. Culverts protect and preserve road-beds, banks, pathways and embankments by collecting and channelling excess water. Strategically placed culverts, help alleviate flooding, reduce erosion and help distribute runoff water to larger filtering areas. The important role that culverts play means that they require regular maintenance to ensure blockages don’t occur.
