Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) currently requires post installation
inspection of culvert and storm sewer pipes installed on KYTC projects. Video inspection
is required for all pipe material types and deflection inspection is required for flexible
pipes. The purpose of the inspection is to look for poor installation practices and/or
material defects that can be detrimental to the performance of the storm drain, which are
cheaper to remedy during construction rather after the roadway has been completed and
in service. Knowing what to look for during the inspection process and understanding
how to use the testing equipment is vital to providing a thorough inspection. KYTC has
asked the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) to develop an inspection operator
certification program to ensure an accurate and reliable pipe assessment is provided to
KYTC.
