Culvert Replacement Ballina UBM-774A
A steel pipe was installed underneath the railway line by use of pipe ramming. We blocked up the existing culvert and pumped it with concrete. Two precast headwalls were installed, one on either side of the new pipe. A roadway was made down to the pipe ramming location and also an access pit created for to facilitate pipe ramming equipment. We also cleaned existing drain down to lake and carried out site clearance work.
