[QUOTE="jcummins, post: 652802, member: 2587"] Well…got a culvert problem. My place has a wooded creek coming up the middle of it about ¾ of the way. Near the bottom of the pasture, there is a cut in the woods, probably from logging operations in the past. When I bought this place the former owners had dumped a load of large, hand size, rock into the creek in this cut. It washed out about a year later. About a year ago, I welded together some steel pipe, and put that in place, repacked the culvert with existing rock and the black gumbo soil. I thought I had it licked. It seem firmed packed, and I was happy, until this last group of rains. How would you go about repair this? Bear in mind, I’m retired, broke, and got to do this with minimal dollars. But this crossing is really handy getting from the front to back pasture without having to go all the way around. Really want to keep something in place. I wish I had a picture before the damage, but this first picture is the upside of the culvert. You can see I have railroad ties above the culvert, with tpost in front of the ties. Both sides use to look like this, but more firmed packed than the picture shows now. The upside eroded, but nothing like the downside. [img]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/jcummins42/Flooding/090420084810014.jpg[/img] The downside, almost 1/2 of the rock and dirt washed out, ties gone, tpost folded over. [img]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/jcummins42/Flooding/090420084838016.jpg[/img] At the height of the flooding…still raining a bit, I went out with the camera. The water is I’m guessing a foot over the top of the ground. [img]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/jcummins42/Flooding/090418121555082.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
