Case Study Details
The Deep Creek Culvert in Middletown, Delaware, is a DelDOT drainage project that presented a significant challenge for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). This aging infrastructure suffered from severe bridge culvert drainage issues, leading to damage, erosion, and degradation. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure buildup behind the culvert walls could compromise the structure’s stability, necessitating immediate intervention.
