Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new culvert inspection rating system was developed by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and described in their 2003 Culvert Inspection Manual. The Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment (ORITE) developed a proposed rating system and tested it and the ODOT system on 60 culverts in 8 of 12 ODOT Districts across the state: 25 concrete culverts, 25 metal culverts, and 10 thermoplastic pipe culverts. The ODOT rating system rates 16 items on a 0 to 9 point scale, while the proposed system considers 30-33 items on the same 0 to 9 point scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drainage infrastructure systems (culvert, storm sewer, outfall and related drainage elements) are mostly buried underground and are in need of special attention in terms of proactive/preventive asset management strategy. Drainage infrastructure systems represent an integral portion of roadway assets that routinely require inspection, maintenance, repair and renewal. Further challenges are the wide geospatial distribution of these infrastructure assets and environmental exposure. There has been considerable research conducted on culverts, but mostly looked at the problem from a traditional structural/geotechnical perspective. Asset management procedures for culverts and drainage infrastructure systems are complex issues, and can benefit a great deal from an optimal asset management program that draws from programs pertaining to buried pipes. The first and most important step in an asset management initiative is the establishment of mechanism for asset inventory and asset conditions in a format compatible with the routine procedures of field operators and inspectors. The first objective of this research project was to develop field protocols and operational business rules for inventory data collection and management and inspection of drainage infrastructures in terms of types of data to be collected, frequency of inspection, and analysis and reporting mechanisms. After review of these protocols by the project oversight committee, a pilot study was conducted to verify efficiency of their implementation. The condition assessment protocol introduced is useful in evaluating the overall condition of culverts and can be used for decision making regarding the repair, renewal or replacement of culverts. For the second objective of this project, investigators examined the inventory and inspection protocols employed by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and developed a decision support platform, which establishes a link between the inspection results and appropriate repair, renewal and replacement procedures. After applying the recommended procedures, the transportation agencies can better track the conditions of culverts thereby reducing the risks of culvert failures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper drainage is essential for pavement to maximize life expectancy and minimize maintenance. Culverts are a critical asset to facilitate drainage. As with many assets, culverts deteriorate with age and require regular inspection. It is important to have a formalized process of inventory and inspection that is efficient and can effectively support culvert asset management. The current culvert inspection and asset management processes for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) have been modeled over the years on the bridge inspection process and were recently evaluated. A study was undertaken to further evaluate the current culvert asset management practices. Approximately 700 small culverts and catch basins were visited and evaluated using both the traditional culvert inspection practices and a revised asset management evaluation scale. The paper summarizes the findings of this evaluation and concludes by making recommendations for process improvements. These recommendations include the addition of photos to the culvert database, a revised rating scale, advanced planning of inspection schedules, a formalized process for culvert reassessments, the creation of a separate catch basin inlet inventory, various improvements to the inventory process, and a dedicated staff to complete inspections efficiently. It is also noted that building a reliable database will show historical trends and can eventually lead to a study of small culvert inspections and culvert longevity, which will lead to improved asset management.

Download or read book Evaluation of New Or Emerging Remote Inspection Technologies for Conduits Ranging from 12 to 120 Spans written by Marc Lehmann and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ODOT has an existing inventory of approximately 87,700 Culverts and Storm Drains of various sizes. Many of these conduits are not easily accessible based on location and present a safety hazard for ODOT staff. Other culverts present inspection challenges due to existing maintenance conditions. Due to the range of sizes from 12" to 120" spans, a range of technologies are needed to inspect and assess these assets. The research project was performed in two phases. Phase 1 focused on a literature review of available technologies and to gain an understanding of current operating procedures implemented by ODOT. Phase 1 review provided an in-depth assessment of technologies that could be applied to assist ODOT with assessing their culvert and drainage assets. During Phase 1, recommended technologies were identified to be field tested and evaluated in Phase 2. Culvert inspection technologies were identified with the goals to increase inspection and maintenance efficiency and safety. A return on investment was then developed for each technology. The different technologies assessed include crawlers, UAV-assisted dye testing, UAV LiDAR and thermal imaging, modifications to ODOT's pole/zoom camera, jetter cameras, and submarines. Of the 11 technologies researched, 6 were procured by ODOT, and 4 are recommended for implementation for culvert inspections. Volume 1 contains the final report summarizing the work that was performed as a part of the research project. Volume 2 contains attachments to the final report that provide context and details such as technical memorandums, work plans, standard operating procedures, and communications including meeting minutes and email correspondence that were produced during the course of the research.
