  • We installed a 60 inch corrugated plastic pipe in our backyard creek and covered it with dirt to create a bridge. Now we can finally access the wooded area of our property with vehicles!

    We are in the same boat. Our drifts are dry, unless it rains, in which case they super flood. I love your solution here, and barring side erosion, I think it'll work fantastically. These culvert pipes are extremely expensive, for what they are, but very worth it. Good luck, and thanks for sharing :)

      Yeah I was floored by the cost of a round tube of plastic. But it's been extremely effective so far. Thanks for watching!

    Just when I’d about given up on finding someone who spanned a steep sided creek with a culvert YT recommends your channel. Like the other guy I have about 25’ to span and the creek is about 18” deep. I plan on using three 48” culverts if I can find them. I’m going to use gabion cages with rip rap to tie them together and creek gravel to fill in the middle. I’ll top it with fill dirt. I subscribed.

      Sounds like you've got a solid plan. The more rock, the better for sure. Good luck!

    Just ran across you on CZcams for the first time. Ironically, the video of the culvert install greatly caught my attention. I have property in Wyoming with a creek running right through the middle that I am considering on taking the same approach with as you did. However, this creek is easily 12 ft deep and roughly 25 ft wide. The weather is generally dry out there but can get impressive rains in the spring. My concern would be excessive erosion and clearly I would have to use larger diameter culvert. Have you had any issues with shifting of the pipe or erosion? Of course I'd be curious about the cost, but that will vary with the area I'm sure. Also, did you need any sort of permits from the state since you were dealing with a natural waterway?

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Thanks for watching! So far we haven't had any issues with erosion or shifting 🤞. I think adding as much rock as possible makes a big difference.
      All together our project cost around $7k. The 60 in x 20 ft pipe was $3k by itself, then the rest was for the time and machines. We saved a bunch by having the fill dirt on site already.
      Without seeing your situation, I'd imagine you could put a bunch of pipe side-by-side and cover with dirt. Lots of stone packed in between and basketball-sized rock at the ends to handle erosion. Good luck!

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Thanks! The pipe alone was $3k. Other materials/equipment + labor was another $4k so $7k total. Saved a bunch by having the fill dirt on hand already

  • @rogered5499
    @rogered5499 Před 5 měsíci

    How did you decide on a 60” culvert, any chance big big rain will wash it out?

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 5 měsíci

      60" was the biggest we could find. I wanted it to span the entire width of the creek, and also be as tall as possible so the slope of the dirt was as gradual as possible. It's handled the creek as high as it gets, several times without issue. The rip rap at the mouth makes a big difference.

  • @longlostkryptonian5797

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 7 měsíci +1

      The 6'x20' pipe was $3k. Everything else was $4k additional. Luckily we were able to secure the fill dirt for free

    What is the load capacity for this culvert bridge?

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 4 měsíci

      I'm not sure. I wanted to be able to drive my pickup truck over it, and eventually a large backhoe loader. The guys that installed it drove their CAT 315C across numerous times, which weighs over 36,000 pounds. So I think I'll be good 😎

  • @britwhit2002
    @britwhit2002 Před 5 měsíci

    Why did you only put rip rap on one side out of curiosity? Is it on the upstream or downstream side?

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 5 měsíci +1

      We only put it on the side where water flows in, to help buffer against erosion. I have thoughts of maybe adding a second length of pipe on the downstream side so I can make the bridge wider. If I ever do that, any rip rap on that end would get buried and go to waste. But mostly it's just not really necessary on the downstream side.

      As the channel grows, hopefully I can afford better music haha
      The pipe alone was $3k, altogether the project was $7k. We saved a bunch by having the fill dirt already on site. I'm told the price of corrugated pipe has skyrocketed since Covid.

    • @randywilson6869
      @randywilson6869 Před 7 měsíci

      So 4 grand for the construction company. Thank because I always wonder how much it cost for something like this but no body ever will tell that part. Sorry for the questions but did they give u bid or was it by the hour

    • @CityBillyAdventures
      @CityBillyAdventures  Před 7 měsíci

      Yes $4k for the construction company. That price included the stone they put in too. They quoted the job ahead of time. I've used these guys for a few big projects - they're good dudes. Hard to find these days
