What To Do With A Failing Culvert
What to Do With a Failing Culvert
We understand the challenges you face when it comes to managing failing culverts and the significant impact this can have on your location. At York Bridge Concepts, we have a solution that not only addresses these pain points but also offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative… Timber Bridges.
Your Failing Culvert - A Culvert Project's Hidden Costs & Consequences
Your project may grapple with a failing culvert, and the consequences of not solving this issue can be far-reaching. The hidden costs, both financial and environmental, can have a profound impact on your project's success or failure.
Let's take a closer look at how a YBC Timber Bridge Solution can provide the ideal remedy with the Inspired Living Project as an example:
Hydraulic Flow of Culvert Solution
Costs
In the case of our vehicular project, Inspired Living, the initial plan involved several culverts to address flood concerns. However, when factoring in mitigation costs, the culvert project budget skyrocketed. Even with a significant road elevation increase, the 100-Year flood flow test couldn't pass, leading to the elimination of the culvert option. YBC presented a solution that saved $150k in costs with the culvert solution.

Environmental Impact
Our Timber Bridge Solution reduced environmental impacts by 62%. By minimizing disruption and with our timber bridge design we were able to increase the water flow by 123% from the culvert solution. Additionally, we can maintain the surrounding land in its natural state which is paramount for preserving ecological systems and minimizing environmental risks.
"Baxter Construction chose York Bridge Concepts because of their outstanding reputation. Even though different materials were considered for the bridge, YBC was able to provide a cost-effective crossing solution that was attractive and blended well with the natural environment. Their field teams were easy to work with and followed through well with each step of the process. I personally admired the clean design and was impressed by the sills of the construction crew that made a challenging build look almost simple. We were able to choose custom coatings and enjoyed having more style options with a timber bridge than we would with other materials."
