Thread the Chain Through the Clogged Culvert

What happens here

This is often the most challenging part of the process, especially if the culvert is severely clogged. The primary goal is to get one end of the heavy-duty chain through the entire length of the culvert to the other side. Methods can include using a long, rigid pipe snake, a high-pressure water jetter with a line attached, or if one side of the culvert is partially clear, feeding the chain directly from that end. The commentator in the video specifically raises this challenge as a key consideration. Once one end of the chain is through, it can then be connected to the heavy machinery on one side, with the tire attached to the other end of the chain, ready for pulling.

Goal: Establish a robust pulling line through the entire length of the culvert.
