What is a culvert?

Culverts are essential structures that allow water to flow under roads, railways, and trails. They are very common in the UK, and you’ve likely seen one when walking through forests or over a bridge, looking like a big pipe coming out of the ground. They are crucial in preventing flooding and maintaining infrastructure integrity. However, over time, culverts can become blocked with debris, sediment, and vegetation, necessitating professional cleaning services.

What happens when a culvert becomes blocked?

Blocked culvert pipes can cause severe problems for the natural environment and local structures. The primary risk is overflowing floods, which can be particularly dangerous when it occurs in culverts that run beneath railroads and roadways. When this happens it often leads to costly infrastructure damage and road/railway closure, causing inconvenience to travellers. Additionally, it can affect the migration of aquatic life such as fish affecting local wildlife.
