Line it. Don’t replace it.
The true cost of the traditional approach to culvert projects is not the pipe itself. It’s in the excavation, installation, inspection, maintenance, road repairs and liability of replacing failing pipes. Snap-Tite solutions eliminate or dramatically reduce virtually all these costs.
Lining a failing culvert using the Snap-Tite system saves major labor and specialized equipment rental costs by eliminating the time-consuming, traffic-disrupting process of cutting the road surface, excavating and replacing the pipe, and repairing the road. And it’s a faster, better-performing, longer-lasting solution.
What can you save with Snap-Tite?
Project costs vary by scale and other conditions, but below illustrates potential cost savings the Snap-Tite lining method delivers over the traditional approach (based on Pennsylvania Department of Transportation data):
| Open-Cut Dig and Replace | 18" Culvert (53' Length) | 24" Culvert (72' Length) |
|---|---|---|
| Highway Crew Construction Cost | $3,900 | $5,900 |
| Highway Crew Construction Time | 9 Days | 10 Days |
| Estimated Contractor Bid Cost | $27,000 | $41,300 |
| Snap-Tite® Lining Method | 18" Culvert (53' Length) | 24" Culvert (72' Length) |
|---|---|---|
| Highway Crew Construction Cost | $2,300 | $4,500 |
| Highway Crew Construction Time | 3.5 Days | 3.5 Days |
| Estimated Contractor Bid Cost | $9,200 | $18,000 |
NOTE: Above highway crew cost estimates do not include these items: equipment (service truck, flatbed truck, backhoe) and equipment-related labor (crew chief, motor equipment operator, two construction workers).
