Precision Pipe & Products supplies culvert rehabilitation system to Chapel Hill, N.C.

Precision Pipe & Products Inc., Birmingham, Ala., has announced that its INFRASTEEL® culvert rehabilitation system has been chosen by Chapel Hill, N.C., for its Booker Creek Culvert At Elliot Road Rehabilitation Project.

The company will provide an INFRASTEEL 180- by 105-in. slip-liner to preserve the existing failing bridge structure and prevent a road closure.

According to Precision Pipe & Products executive Cullom Walker, “Hydrostructures of Pittsboro engineered the project using INFRASTEEL 242 because it can be manufactured to match the exact shape of the existing barrels. The slip-liner also maintains hydraulic capacity and increases the stability of the culvert structure.”

The steel liner will be slip-lined into place, and the annular space will be grouted. This process will provide a culvert life expectancy of 50 to 100 years, according to Walker.
