Waste and Resource Mangement
Blocked or damaged culverts can cause flooding, leading to
costly and disruptive damages to land, property, and public
infrastructure. M. Gaze can keep your culvert operating as
intended with our tried and tested hi-vac and jet-vac services.
Culverts are channels and pipelines often used to allow running water
to flow under roads, railway lines and pathways. They are commonly
used to prevent obstructing through flooding, but equally help to alleviate
erosion and maintain environmental harmony.
However, with running water comes sediment, litter and other solids
that can cause culverts to become blocked from time to time, rendering
them redundant and perhaps even resulting in worse outcomes or
floods.
Periodic maintenance is therefore essential to ensure culverts can fulfil
their purpose in keeping transport routes free from obstruction. M.
Gaze can provide just this with our Culvert Clearing & Cleaning services
on a one-off or regular basis.
Our trained personnel carry extensive experience are fully qualified
and capable of treating culverts efficiently and effectively, leveraging
our high-pressure water jet (jet-vac) or high-powered vacuum (hi-vac)
fleets on a case-by-case basis depending on the requirements and level
of sedimentation.
Such is the quality and efficacy of our service that we are often called
to finish a culvert clean which another contractor has unsuccessfully
attempted to complete.
It is important to keep culverts clear to prevent the possibility of flooding, which may lead to significant damages to land, property or public infrastructure. To avoid potentially costly and disruptive situations, culverts should be treated with preventative maintenance on a regular basis.
Often the most common and obvious problems with culverts are related to blockages, where sediment or litter build up in the pipe and prevent water from passing through. There are other signs that your culvert may be dysfunctional, however, such as erosion sags and joint separations. Reach out to our professional teams for advice and consultation is you’re struggling to identify the route of the issue on 01508 548 543.
Culvert’s can be tricky to clear and clean on a DIY basis for several reasons. If water is passing through, then it can be hard to access the culvert and identify the issue. It is also not advisable to poke items down a culvert as loosening small portions of sediment and litter could exacerbate the problem or damage the lining of the culvert, creating more costly problems. Therefore, we recommend the use of hi-vac and jet-vac by trained professionals.
