HOW
What happens here
With the large rubber tire positioned at one end of the culvert and the heavy-duty chain securely attached to the heavy machinery at the other, begin slowly and steadily pulling the tire through the pipe. The initial pull should be gentle to assess the resistance caused by the clog. If the clog is severe, the machine operator may need to apply significant, consistent force. The tire acts as a powerful plunger, dislodging mud, rocks, and various debris as it moves through the culvert. Continuously observe the culvert opening and the material being cleared to ensure the process is effective and safe.
Goal: Remove the blockage from the culvert.
