Culvert Pipe Repair & Large Diameter Pipe Rehabilitation Services

The bigger the pipe, the bigger the issues and risks facing unprepared sewer contractors. At HK Solutions Group, we are uniquely equipped to tackle large diameter pipe cleaning, culvert pipe repairs and more specialized pipeline maintenance for large pipes. Some pipe rehabilitation companies shy away from large diameter pipes due to the high volume of water and high risk. Plus, some don't have the equipment to handle the high flow associated with culvert rehabilitation.

Our expert technicians, specialized equipment and commitment to safety set us apart from other culvert repair and cleaning service providers. We can handle any job, no matter how big or small. Call us today at (855) 845-5326 to learn how we can customize our 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. Floods wreak havoc on city infrastructure and traffic, putting residents at risk. To spot a failing culvert before it reaches this point, sewer professionals recommend regular inspections to detect culvert repair 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 issues escalate and become more costly and destructive.

Culvert Cleaning Services

In order to tackle big jobs, culvert cleaning professionals need expert technicians and equipment specifically designed for large diameter pipe and culvert cleaning services. HK Solutions Group has both. Our pipe rehabilitation experts are trained to execute pipe cleaning and rehab solutions for all pipe sizes and field conditions.

We have multiple Recycle JetVac trucks in our fleet. These trucks enable our team to use recycled water from the collection system to clean culverts and pipes. This recycled water culvert cleaning process is just one example of our commitment to environmentally friendly solutions. This technique also represents massive cost savings for municipalities. HK saved one Midwest municipality millions of gallons of water by using this cleaning technique.

During the large diameter pipe cleaning process, we thoroughly prepare pipelines and culverts for future rehabilitation projects. Before we begin culvert pipe rehabilitation, we address issues such as root invasion and groundwater infiltration, along with collapsed pipes and offset connections.

Fold and Form Culvert Liners for Culvert Repair & Rehabilitation

HK Solutions Group uses a PVC thermoform culvert lining process when performing culvert pipe repair. Culvert liners offer a trenchless pipe rehabilitation solution to strengthen existing structures without digging up the area.

What is culvert lining?

Culvert lining is a no-dig trenchless technique that eliminates the prolonged road work, traffic interruptions and high costs associated with traditional pipe replacement. Professionals use a small access point to insert a custom-fit culvert liner into the degrading structure to strengthen its foundation.

Our PVC thermoform large diameter pipe liner installation process begins with heating a custom-manufactured PVC pipe liner to be folded and coiled onto reels. Once it arrives at the job site, technicians re-heat the liner and feed it into the damaged pipe structure, where steam is then used to expand the folded liner. The expanded liner conforms to the pipe's shape and dimensions, and then it cools and hardens in place.

In HK’s proven culvert lining process, our thermoform liners can be heated and cooled up to seven times without losing structural integrity. This allows technicians the freedom to make adjustments without risk to the liner. This culvert pipe repair method is just one example of HK’s ability to provide pipeline maintenance to the full sanitary sewer and stormwater system.

Culvert lining with our PVC thermoform method is a cost-effective trenchless pipe rehabilitation technique that eliminates the need for disruptive excavation.

Slip Lining Learn More

Slip Lining

Slip lining for pipeline rehabilitation, like the other trenchless rehabilitation processes, repairs leaks and restores structural stability to the existing pipeline. 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) & PVC.

Culvert Rehabilitation & Stormwater Management Solutions

HK Solutions Group handles stormwater and wastewater management and rehabilitation. We can correct issues with any size pipeline or culvert, from small sewage pipes to large interceptor lines. Our large diameter pipe repair techniques are safe and effective, and we favor minimally invasive pipe restoration and trenchless manhole rehabilitation that limits community disruption.

We also strive to minimize our environmental impact by using stormwater management and repair solutions that are eco-friendly. Unlike some culvert rehabilitation methods that spew carcinogens into the air and produce toxic run-off, HK's thermoform culvert lining has a very small environmental impact and does not introduce pollutants into the surrounding area. This keeps communities safe and protects the natural landscape.

UV-Cured Pipe Liners Learn More

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-cured pipe lining process as a fast and cost-effective pipeline rehabilitation method. Like traditional cured in place pipe, UV-cured pipe lining is a trenchless pipeline rehab solution that limits disruptions to traffic and utilities.

In comparison to other trenchless technologies, UV-cured pipe liners have proven to be 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 lining 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.
