Culverts are very critical to drainage and transportation of fluids under highways. State Departments of Transportation maintain thousands of these culverts under highways, road and freeways. The Ohio Department of Transportation alone maintains over 85,000 culverts under Ohio’s priority and general highways. Through regular inspections and condition assessment of these culverts, a course of action ranging from routine maintenance to replacement is recommended. Pipe bursting is a viable alternative to replace deteriorated culverts. However, a high percentage of these culverts are made of corrugated metal pipes which are challenging to burst because the ridges tend to fold under the compression stress making it difficult, and often times, impossible to burst. The research team at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) in collaboration with two pipe bursting manufacturers (TT Technologies and Hammerhead) conducted pipe bursting research tests aimed at finding solutions to bursting corrugated metal pipes. This paper provides an overview of the pipe bursting operations through which four corrugated metal pipe culverts (12”, 18”, and 24” in diameter) were successfully replaced through this collaborative effort.
