Investigation and Repairs to Damage Duck Creek Culvert

Sullivan, Terry M. / Nichols, Jeremiah R. / Smith, Steven J. / Gebler, Steven / Cao, Honggang / Carfagno, Michael G. / DeRoo, Larry P.

The Duck Creek Phase III flood protection project presented the Corps of Engineers' Louisville District with numerous difficult challenges in the design, contracting and construction arenas. The purpose of this project was to lower flood elevations by eliminating an oxbow bend in Duck Creek, an urban stream located on the east side of Cincinnati, Ohio. The proposed long-span culvert, designed to carry flood flows around the existing creek channel bottleneck, was oriented parallel to and in several locations was nearly underneath the centerline of an adjacent, relocated roadway. The culvert alignment included two significant horizontal curves in order to snake around existing high-tension overhead power line towers. The culvert also had to be constructed with very little cover, presenting a challenge to the precast culvert designer and manufacturer including limited space within the contractor's work limits for the storage of overburden material from the culvert excavation.
