HAZARD
SEVERITY
RISK
1. Debris and
Sediment
Blocking Culvert
4
With the culvert being blocked with
deposits of debris, driftwood and some
organic growth, the resulting ponding
may lead to scour of the stream banks
and embankment and could possibly
lead to changes in channel alignment.
5
This type of hazard could be due
to a poorly designed culvert in
which case the likelihood of it
happening again would be high.
On the other hand, it could be
due to poor maintenance and the
untimely removal of the built up
debris and sediment.

How can things be changed so that this
hazard is less severe, or less likely to
happen?
3. Debris Along
the Embankment
of the Culvert
2
The presence of debris along the
embankment of the culvert can possibly
lead to the continue build up of
impounded water and as a result further
perpetuate the damaging effects of the
water

4
This overtopping even can be
considered to be very likely to
occur due to the length of time
taken to pump the impounded
water out of the area. As
mentioned previously, given
adequate rainfall, this impounded
water could rise very quickly and
as a result flow over onto the
roadway.
4
Due to the proximity of the
debris to the inlet of the culvert,
the chances of it falling and
further occluding the opening is
very likely to occur

2. Overtopping of
the Culvert
3
Given the accumulation of enough
water during particularly heavy
rainfall, it can be seen that damage to
surrounding structures would be likely.
3. Development of
Diseases

4
Because the officials managing
the project has decided to avoid
clearing the culvert until the
level of impounded water has
reduced, in the event of
unusually heavy rainfall, the
flooding of the culverts banks
would be very likely.

such as a headwall or
3
Because the water is being
pumped to a nearby ditch then
the likelihood for the
development of a large number
of vectors is reduced. However
culvert is still unable to handle
the flow, there will be still be a
relatively high likelihood for the
development of disease.

4
Because there are no
mechanisms in place to alleviate
the flooding occurring over the
roadway, the likelihood of
emergency services being
restricted is very high.

Again, due to absence of any
mitigating mechanisms, the
likelihood of the flood waters
reaching nearby infrastructure
and human life would be very
high.
