The Problem<\/h2>\n\n

Many culverts in the United States were installed 40 to 50 years ago and now have exceeded their design life and need repair. In this case, two 72-inch diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts in White Oak, Mississippi started to fail. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (DOT) District Seven feared that the road might collapse if the culverts were not repaired in a timely manner. Shutting down and digging up the road to fix the problem was not an option as it would detour traffic 15-20 miles away from the public\u2019s normal driving route. <\/p>\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n

Matt Dugas, maintenance engineer for the District Seven DOT, met with Snap-Tite\u00ae representative Ryan Harrington to determine a viable solution for the culvert repair that would not disturb the road. The DOT chose to reline the old culverts instead of using a dig and replace method. During the initial inspection of the CMP in the fall, it was decided that 63-inch diameter Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe was the best size pipe for the project. Another benefit of using the no-dig Snap-Tite\u00ae relining method was that the DOT crew could install the Snap-Tite\u00ae themselves\u2013 saving the district money. <\/p>\n\n

The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe has a patented male\/female machining at each end of the pipe sections. The machined sections are \u2018snapped\u2019 together, piece-by-piece, and pushed into the full length of an existing pipe. Any annular space and voids between the old culvert and new liner are filled in with grout. The pipe liner is available in lengths from two feet to 50 feet, and is available for culverts with diameters from eight inches to 84 inches. Snap-Tite\u00ae also meets American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard M326 for rehabilitating culverts. <\/p>\n\n

The Installation<\/h2>\n\n

The day of the installation, one of the damaged culverts deflected down to only a 59-inch opening. Harrington suggested cutting one end of the Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe into a bullet nose, a method used to push a Snap-Tite\u00ae liner into a deflected culvert. <\/p>\n\n

On site, the DOT crew cut the bullet nose on one end of a section of Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe in order to get it through the deflection of the old pipe. Once the bullet nose pushed through past the deflection point, the rest of the pipe slid through the old pipe with ease. <\/p>\n\n

Then to snap the sections of Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe together, the crew only needed to use chains and a come-a-long. There was no specialty equipment required. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cI was amazed with the strength and durability of the Snap-Tite\u00ae liner, yet it was flexible enough to conform to the shape of the deflected host pipe,\u201d said Dugas. \u201cWe field-cut a bullet-nose with relative ease, and the 63-inch liner slid right through a problem joint with only 59 inches of clearance. The joints are solid, with absolutely no infiltration, and the ease with which they snapped together was unexpected.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe experienced a few growing pains during our first snap, but subsequently became rather proficient at the process, accomplishing most snaps in less than 15 minutes, most of which was manipulating the pipe into place and placing chains and come-a-longs,\u201d added Dugas. \u201dSnap-Tite\u00ae is strong yet flexible. The joints are solid and snap together with relative ease. We are pleased with the performance of Snap-Tite\u00ae in this application.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Both culverts were lined in one day and the DOT District Seven did not have to shut down the road, so the local traffic was not detoured and continued to flow normally. This was the first major installation of Snap-Tite\u00ae pipe in Mississippi and at the end of one day, it was a success. <\/p>\n\n
