Quick, Cost-Effective Solution for Stormwater Authority
In South Metro Denver, Colorado, Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority (SEMSWA) faced a unique challenge: multiple damaged culverts nestled in a protected wetland and residential park. The solution couldn’t disrupt the environment or local traffic while fitting SEMSWA’s budget. With its patented interlocking design, SEMSWA installed 80 feet of 30-inch Snap-Tite pipe, showcasing its ease during a demonstration. Mini excavators nimbly placed each section, providing an efficient, no-dig solution that rehabilitated the culverts without disturbing the landscape or traffic flow.
Cutting Costs, Elevating Efficiency: Snap-Tite Transforms Pennsylvania’s Culvert Rehabilitation
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) took a groundbreaking approach to a major culvert rehabilitation project on Interstate 99, resulting in nearly $9 million in savings. Snap-Tite, with its commitment to environmental sustainability and cost-efficiency, emerged as the key player. A deteriorating 74-inch concrete water drainage pipe beneath the resurfaced road prompted action. Traditional methods, including costly open cut replacement and pipe jacking, were considered impractical. With easy installation, no traffic disruptions, and substantial savings, PennDOT achieved extraordinary results.
Snap-Tite® No-Dig Solution Lessens Environmental Disruption
Steuben County revitalized their roadways and drainage systems, masterminded by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).
