The TURBULENCE culvert reproduces the natural bed conditions of a creek, with a Manning's N value of 0,022.
This patented product is exclusevely available from SOLENO, in diameters of 450mm (18"), 600mm (24"), 750mm (30") and in lenghts of 6 (19.7 ft) and 9m (29.5 ft).
With a resistance of 210 kPa, the addition of 3 reinforcement strips on the corrugated interior wall preserves the longitudinal strenght of the pipe, creates water turbulence and facilitates nesting for shipping purposes.
The corrugated interior wall reduces the water velocity and flow. The decrease in velocity in the culvert reduces erosion at the outlet, which promotes slope conservation and stability.
ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
- The TURBULENCE culvert pipe meets the Quebec Regulation on Sustainable Forest Management, as it allows the free flow of water and the free movement of aquatic fauna.
- By increasing bed roughness, it eases the passage and counter-current movement by the fish, while serving as a refuge for wildlife and fish fry.
- This lightweight and durable HDPE culvert is easy to install and handle in woodlands, in mining and rural environments, wherever water flow and velocity needs to be reduced.
With a manning coefficient 40% * higher than a corrugated steel culvert, the flow rate flowing into the Turbulence is 28% lower than for a corrugated steel pipe. TURBULENCE is the ideal culvert to promote ecosystem growth and reduce erosion.
*Calculated for 450mm (18 ") diameter pipe.
