Installing Drainage Culvert To Create A Service Entrance

- If you have open drainage like I do, then you know it can be a pain to maintain. In this video I install 15 inch double wall culvert AND create a driveway to be used as a service entrance.
That's a real bonus to have a service entrance. Great job installing the culvert. I have a couple culverts to install but much smaller and in areas where no permit is required. I would think the tractor may have a higher psi then the excavator that has it's weight spread out on the tracks over a much larger surface. Have a great evening Sam!
Thanks Paul!!! It sure is nice. I've already used it a few times. I think you're right about the tractor 🤠👍
Great job Sam. Should serve you well. Thanks for the video.
@@elmermason9685 Thank you! I've already used it a few times 🤠👍
Very tidy job Sam 🏴👍🏻
@@ewanstewart8011 Thank you so much! 🤠 👍
I know how you know!😂 Great job Sam👍👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 Oh, I know you know how I know... you know?!? Thanks!!! 🤠👍
Nice job Sam. It's great that you were able to repurpose that 15" culvert pipe.👍
@@user-scooter1965 Thank you! Yes, 100%! That was almost $900 worth of pipe! It all worked out in the end 🤠👍
Heck yea.!! Great work. Very informative video…. 🧬🦾
@@ScrewdriverTUNING Thank you! I hope it helps some folks 🤠👍
I'll say tractor for compaction! Oh, you said ask how you know that pipe floats ?? 🤣😂🤣👍👍
@robertrhodes9123 I agree about the tractor. The excavator makes a nice smooth surface, but the tractor really digs in. I'll never forget sitting on that pipe wondering "what am I going to do NOW?!?" Glad we can joke about it 🤠👍
only comment I would make is about story-telling. I went the whole video wondering why you were going through this effort. The "why it's good" was the last 10 seconds of the video. But great explanation on how to do it!
@Fetch049 Thank you for the comment. There are so many points of view on this. I get several comments when I do "storytelling" style of video to get to the point. So, I've been using this format when I do a "how-to" video. I get right to it and then save the more personal information plus updates for subscribers until the end. I totally understand your point of view 🤠👍
Nice work Sam!
@NowhereBoundAdventures Thanks Mike!!! 🤠👍
Nicely done!!
@@goodcitizen64 Thank you very much 🤠👍
GREAT JOB SAM 👏
@@Van-Diesel73 Thank you! I'm using it already 🤠👍
Good job - the tractor. The pipe will float because between the inner and outer wall of the double wall pipe are sealed pockets of air, hence - it actually is a float.
@@williamjbivens1956 Thank you! I agree 100% 🤠👍
Tires on a smaller tractor. Smaller area per tire puts more weight on a smaller area. I've had to have both a driveway entrance culvert installed and then a few hundred yards up the drive a double 24" culvert for a small creek. I've got a few more spots on the property where we have old logging trails going over other streams and creeks where we've got some culvert as well. If done correctly as you've shown, it will last decades easily.
@@alvalonline Yup. Makes total sense 🤠👍
Nice job!! I'm going with the tractor tire doing better at packing than the excavator!! The tracks put less psi per square inch on the ground the way they spread out over a larger area!! Still packs either way but a sheep foot roller will do way better!
@chriselliott2364 I agree. Can't do better than a sheep's foot roller. Pushing down with the excavator bucket does a pretty good job too 🤠👍
Now you need to sign at your residential entrance for commercial trucks to use the other entrance.
@plainwornout3964 That's a good idea 👍 I have thought about a gate too. We'll see if it needs one 🤠👍
nice job Sam. Are you going to put rocks at each end of the Culvert to spruce it up and stop the dirt from eroding away?
@petegilbert6886 Thank you! The crushed concrete does a really good job and I haven't figured out what to do to dress up the other end. I've laid a railroad tie at the high end when I've done this before and that works well too. I do have a plethora of rocks 🤠👍
You get more on the tractor and how do you know it floats it looks good
@richardschaffling9882 I agree with you about the tractor and here's how I know...

Somebody probably already said this, but, wouldn't it have been easier to cut the top ring off the riser for the drain? The excavator operator who dug our electrical service told me how low the PSI was, I'm going with tractor for the high PSI.
@@richardkelleher1711 Very good point, and yes, that would have been an option. I just wanted to maintain the depth of the pipe. The consensus is definitely the tractor 🤠👍
I would rather have an excavator track on my foot than a tractor wheel, smaller area of contact ,higher PSI.
I agree 100% 🤠👍
Just to let you know wd40 works very well for the gasket lube. How do I know you ask? I have installed miles of dual wall pipe in my lifetime. 😅
"Miles"!!! Wow! Hope I did a good job. Thanks for the wd40 tip 👍 The Farmer used the access this evening, so I'm pretty sure he approves 🤠👍

@@Zeisslermusic Thank you! 🤠👍
What a waste. #1 you should have dug out the ditch then put gravel or thae crusher run down then your pipe then more crusher run then your stone .the drain was a waste of $ . In my state you would NOT gotten away with what you did !
@normangarrand1106 Definitely not a waste. Followed instructions from the county engineer's office. It'll last forever. Will have to add more gravel and dirt over time as it compacts, but otherwise, it's just fine. Hope this clears things up for you, and yes, as I said in the beginning of the video, you absolutely have to check with your local authorities because as you pointed out, all states, cities, and municipalities rules are different. Thanks for watching 🤠👍
