Trenchless Rehabilitation

WHAT IS CULVERT SEALING?

Culvert sealing is the trenchless rehabilitation of deteriorated culverts, drainage pipes, and stormwater structures using spray-applied elastomeric coatings. Instead of costly excavation and replacement, our hybrid polyurea/polyurethane systems seal cracks, stop infiltration, and restore structural integrity from the inside, extending service life by 20+ years at 30-60% of replacement cost.

  • No excavation, minimal traffic disruption
  • 30-60% cost savings vs. full culvert replacement
  • 20+ year extended service life
  • Seals active leaks and infiltration points
  • Restores structural integrity to deteriorated pipe
  • Works on concrete, corrugated metal, and HDPE culverts

The Process

HOW CULVERT SEALING WORKS

01

Inspection & Cleaning

CCTV inspection documents existing condition. High-pressure water jetting removes debris, sediment, and loose material from the culvert interior.

02

Surface Preparation

Abrasive blasting or mechanical scarification prepares the substrate. Cracks and voids are filled with hydraulic cement or polyurethane grout before coating.

03

Elastomeric Coating Application

Hybrid polyurea/polyurethane elastomeric coating spray-applied to specified thickness. Seamless membrane bonds to the substrate and seals all penetrations.

System Selection

CULVERT REHABILITATION SYSTEMS

We select the right rehabilitation system based on culvert material, diameter, condition, and service environment.

Hybrid Polyurea Liner

Structural rehabilitation

High-build hybrid polyurea applied at 125-250 mils for structural reinforcement of severely deteriorated culverts.

Elastomeric Urethane Seal

Crack & joint sealing

Flexible urethane coating that bridges cracks and joints, accommodating minor movement without cracking.

Polyurethane Grout Injection

Void filling & infiltration control

Expanding polyurethane grout injected behind the pipe wall to fill voids and stop active water infiltration.

Epoxy Mortar Lining

Concrete culvert restoration

Epoxy mortar trowel-applied to restore section loss in concrete culverts before topcoat application.
