Culvert and storm drain systems are a vital part our of infrastructure that require periodic review and maintenance to achieve their design life, service life and function. This training provides component-based rating systems that enable inspectors to assess culvert and storm drain systems that are newly installed and those that had been installed for a number of years for agency reporting. AASHTO has developed two new guidance documents that delineate acceptable installations for new pipe installed within 30 days of installation and existing culvert asset management rating for previously installed systems. This training helps agencies to develop a transportation asset management plans for their culvert and storm drain system inventories. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Appendix X5 Pipe Culvert Inspection and Evaluation for New Construction and the AASHTO Culvert and Storm Drain System Inspection Guide, 1st Edition(link is external) for existing systems will be covered to provide inspectors with tools for routine conditional assessment of culverts and/or storm drains, along with a reliable and reproducible method to rate the condition of all system components.
