Deep culvert replacements

Boston, N.Y.

In 2019, Ledge Creek was contracted to remove and replace four deteriorated drainage culverts at various locations in the valleys of Boston, N.Y. This project presented many challenges as the existing culverts were between 20 and 40 feet underground. Our team had to navigate around existing facilities including a major multi-national fiber communications line that ran directly over the structures. The fiber line had to be carefully unearthed, and temporary overhead poles installed to keep the line suspended while the work was completed beneath. 85,000 cubic yards of dirt were removed and stockpiled to gain access to the drainage structures. After removal of the existing culverts, new precast box culverts were installed. In total, approximately 50 new sections were installed at the four locations. New, environmentally friendly water spillways were created using large limestone boulders and held together with high-strength specialty grout. Upon completion of the culverts, the excavated material was reconditioned, graded, and compacted to create new access roads for use by snowmobiles and other recreational vehicles. These projects were a great success, completed safely and on time. Great work by our team!
