Innovations in Culvert Rehabilitation: Wet Layup & StifPipe

<p>In this two-part series of <em>Infrastructure Repair Live</em>, we explore advanced, proven methods for rehabilitating deteriorating culverts without costly replacement.</p><p><strong>Part 1</strong> covers <strong>Wet Layup FRP and SPiRe+</strong> for <strong>box culverts</strong> - a versatile trenchless repair method that restores strength, prevents corrosion, and minimizes traffic disruption. We’ll walk through:</p><ul><li><p>How wet layup works in the field</p></li><li><p>Its advantages over traditional methods (lightweight, corrosion-resistant, minimal traffic disruption)</p></li><li><p>Real-world applications where it has saved owners time and money<br></p></li></ul><p><strong>Part 2</strong> will spotlight <strong>StifPipe®</strong>, QuakeWrap’s patented CFRP honeycomb liner for corrugated metal pipe culverts. StifPipe® was born out of decades of aerospace R&amp;D, using a honeycomb core to deliver stiffness without stacking 10+ layers of carbon fabric. The result: a <strong>stand-alone liner that resists internal pressure, external soil loads, and traffic loads</strong>, all while reducing material cost and installation time.</p><p>Whether you’re a <strong>bridge engineer, DOT official, asset manager, public works leader, or consultant</strong>,  this series will give you proven, cost-effective strategies to rehabilitate culverts and pipelines without full replacement OR impact to the flow capacity.</p>
