Culvert inspection and cleaning follows a defined process designed to produce reliable condition data while protecting the asset and the teams working on it.
Step 1 — Desk study and access planning. We review asset records, watercourse consents and access constraints, then produce RAMS specific to the structure.
Step 2 — Water management. Where flows cannot be interrupted, we install overpumping or flume systems so inspection and cleaning can proceed safely in a controlled environment.
Step 3 — Cleaning. Silt, debris and blockages are removed by high-pressure jetting and vacuumation, with all waste documented and disposed of at licensed facilities.
Step 4 — Inspection. Depending on size and access, we deploy CCTV crawlers, confined-space entry teams or ROV units to record condition to WRc standards.
Step 5 — Reporting. You receive a coded condition report with photographs, video, defect schedules and engineering recommendations — ready for asset management systems and funding submissions.
