Oregon
There are essentially four major activities that can be done at a crossing(without replacing or abandoning it) to lower the risk of catastrophicfailure including tapering the inlet, removing debris or sediment or mitigatingfuture debris accumulation by using a trash rack, and by installing anoverflow channel or secondary culvert in the fill. Creating a taperedapproach to the inlet causes a condition called a mitered or headwall inletas opposed to a projecting inlet. By tapering the inlet an increasein flow of about 20% can be gained. Another benefit is a taperedinlet tends to pass through debris better than a projecting inlet. ... [Read More]
