Box Culverts Evaluation Maintenance Equipment Performance

Abstract:

Traditional methods, such as using a vactor truck, for clearing culverts greater than 48 inches

of debris and accumulated sediment may be inefficient and costly. A survey of states outside

of Ohio has shown several regularly use remote controlled equipment for cleaning large

culverts. A MicroTraxx MT 3234 was purchased from Rohmac, Inc. and evaluated on culverts in

Ohio over the months of July and August of 2014. Performance statistics show that the

MicroTraxx unit cleared culverts as fast as traditional methods using half as many man-hours.

An analysis of the Ohio culvert database shows that close to 8,600 culverts across the state can

be accessed by the MicroTraxx MT 3234 unit and could provide ODOT cost savings in the future

if the MicroTraxx were deployed for this purpose.
