Culvert Pipe Repair & Large Diameter Pipe Lining Services

Some pipe rehabilitation companies shy away from large diameter pipes due to the high volume of water and risk. Others don't have the equipment to handle the high flow associated with culvert rehabilitation. At HK, we’re uniquely equipped to tackle culvert pipe repair, large diameter pipe lining and more specialized maintenance for large pipes exceeding 18” up to 120” in diameter.

Expert technicians, specialized equipment and commitment to safety set us apart from other culvert repair and service providers. We can handle any job, no matter how big or small. Contact us to learn how we can combat culvert failure and customize our trenchless culvert lining solutions to fit your needs.

How Do You Know If A Culvert Is Failing?

When culverts fail, the most obvious warning sign is flooding in nearby roads or railroads, indicating issues with the culvert’s flow. Abnormalities like sinkholes, cracks and erosion surrounding the culvert may also become visible as the structure degrades and the culvert loses support over time. To spot culvert failure before it reaches this point, sewer professionals recommend regular inspections to detect culvert rehabilitation needs early.

Because large diameter pipes like culverts present unique challenges, they're often the most neglected part of the storm sewer system. By working with a trusted large diameter pipe rehabilitation company like HK, municipalities and industrial facilities can take advantage of proactive culvert maintenance, cleaning and CCTV sewer inspections. This allows us to identify culvert pipe repair needs before floods and structural deficiencies wreak havoc on city infrastructure and traffic, putting residents at risk.

What Are Common Reasons For Culvert Failure?

Culvert failure often results from exposure to the elements over time, with high water volume, heavy traffic and aging pipe materials contributing to failure if not properly maintained. Excess water and traffic can overwhelm deteriorating culvert infrastructure, causing failure when it can no longer handle water flow. Severe weather, blockages and abrasion can also impact culvert integrity and cause failure if ignored. At HK Solutions Group, we’ve seen municipal and industrial culverts in all kinds of conditions and are able to offer a variety of culvert pipe repair solutions to restore critical infrastructure.

Trusted Culvert Repair Methods: Slip Lining, Large Diameter CIPP & UV-Cured Pipe Lining

HK’s technicians are experts at employing trenchless culvert repair methods. We understand how to approach high volume pipelines safely, and we get the job done correctly without cutting corners or digging up critical infrastructure like roads and railroads.

Our team encounters a lot of aging culverts and large diameter infrastructure, specializing in modern culvert pipe repair techniques like culvert lining and UV-cured pipe lining, as well as large diameter cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining. Because of our extensive sewer rehabilitation background, we’re able to provide a unique, tailored approach for each project we take on.

Slip Lining

Like our other trenchless pipeline and culvert rehabilitation processes, slip lining repairs leaks and restores structural stability to the existing pipe. The slip lining process begins with inserting a carrier pipe into the larger host pipe. It is then grouted into the space between the two pipes, and both ends are sealed. The most common materials used are high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass reinforced pipe (FRP) and PVC.

Steam Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining Solutions

CIPP is a trenchless sewer repair process for pipes needing extensive rehabilitation in lieu of line replacement. The CIPP installation process results in a jointless, seamless and structural pipe lining within an existing pipe.

Cured in place pipe liners are a great solution for pipes with damage such as cracks, holes or root invasion. CIPP is extremely cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional pipe repair methods, mitigating the impact of infiltration and inflow without interrupting traffic or other nearby utilities and services. CIPP is also incredibly effective for large diameter and culvert pipe repair.

This no-dig pipeline rehabilitation solution is also known as inversion pipe lining. Our team first inspects the pipeline and takes all necessary measurements. We then return to our facility and use this data to design a cured in place pipe liner to the correct specifications for the existing pipeline. The result is a high-quality felt liner impregnated with a catalyzed resin that will harden during the steam curing process to create a brand new pipe inside the existing pipeline.

UV-Cured Pipe Lining

With the acquisition of Engineered Lining Systems, HK's newest large diameter pipe solution is UV-cured pipe lining, covering pipe widths ranging from 3 inches to 86 inches in diameter. HK Solutions Group uses the UV pipe lining process as a fast and cost-effective sewer rehabilitation and culvert pipe repair method. Like traditional cured in place pipe, UV pipe lining is a trenchless pipeline rehabilitation solution that limits disruptions to traffic and utilities.

In comparison to other trenchless pipe rehabilitation technologies, UV-cured pipe liners have proven to be especially cutting-edge solutions. This modern pipe lining technology cures with fiberglass instead of felt and with zero water. The result is a more structural and long-lasting solution compared to traditional methods such as heat curing. The UV-cured pipe system cures in just 10 minutes, making it the most efficient pipe lining option available. The more complex the conditions, the more evident the benefits of this liner.
