A recent storm washed out the culvert under my private drive, leaving the pipe exposed and the concrete apron undermined. I’m looking for a Texas-state-stamped, fully insured Engineer that can take the project from excavation through final concrete finish while also integrating a high-density foam fill to shore up the existing driveway approach. Scope of work • Excavate around the failed section, shape the trench, and prep a stable sub-grade. • Install and reconnect the culvert pipe at the correct slope, ensuring proper flow. • Inject or place high-density structural foam to fill the washed-out cavity and provide long-term support beneath the drive. • Backfill, compact, Acceptance criteria 1. Pipe passes a water-flow test without leakage or pooling. 2. Foam fill reaches full expansion and supports a loaded pickup without deflection. Please confirm insurance, and availability,

Hello, I have experience supporting civil site repair, culvert replacement, subgrade stabilization, drainage correction, and concrete approach restoration for storm-damaged driveways. I am a good fit because this project needs both practical field coordination and engineering review to make sure the culvert slope, backfill, foam support, and final concrete work perform correctly. I will review the washout condition, culvert size, driveway approach, drainage path, and concrete damage, then prepare a repair plan covering excavation, pipe reconnection, subgrade prep, foam fill, backfill, compaction, and concrete finish. I do not personally hold Texas PE licensure, but I can provide stamped and sealed results through an actively licensed Texas Professional Engineer I work with, and insurance documentation can be reviewed before field work begins. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

The culvert pipe exposure and concrete apron undermining is the critical point here, so that's what I focus on first. I’ll excavate around the failed section using a mini-excavator, shaping the trench and prepping a stable sub-grade with compacted fill as needed, then I install and reconnect the culvert pipe at the correct slope making sure it has proper flow, and for the foam fill I’d use a structural closed-cell polyurethane foam delivered by a specialist installer, injecting it under pressure to fill the washed-out cavity and provide long-term support beneath the drive, that's how the driveway support happens. I'd backfill and compact the trench after the foam cures. The order is excavation and pipe work first, so the foam has a stable cavity to fill and the culvert is correctly positioned, then the foam fill and finally the backfill and compaction. What is the specified diameter and material of the existing culvert pipe? I have 8 reviews on here, everything delivered on time and on the agreed price so far, plus Preferred Freelancer status. You need to provide the culvert pipe diameter and material.
