Culvert Rehabilitation Systems

FRP culvert rehabilitation is the latest composite highway infrastructure repair technology pioneered by Kenway Corporation for steel culverts exceeding 3’Ø. Existing HDPE slip line methods or concrete invert liners have extended installation schedules and multiple negative environmental impacts. Partnering with the University of Maine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center, Kenway Corporation developed a composite invert liner which restores the original structural integrity of the culvert but with minimal environmental impact and reduced installed cost. By using Kenway’s FRP Culvert Rehabilitation system, transportation departments can accomplish more maintenance projects with their existing budgets.

Advantages included:

Lower installed cost compared with concrete invert repairs;
Minimal traffic flow disruption – liners exceeding 100’ overall length fully installed in just 1-week
Minimal impact on culvert invert elevation
Minimal downstream environmental impact, particularly compared with concrete installations
Custom fabricated internal weirs and baffles available
Ability to complete culvert inert and/or overhead spot repairs
Extended service life
Integrated fish ladder options available
