Culvert Installation in Abilene, TX

Culverts sized and set to actually carry the water, not just look installed.

Rangefinder Excavation provides culvert installation throughout Abilene, TX and Taylor County. Abilene's blend of city growth and surrounding agricultural land keeps us busy with both land development and ag terrace projects.

A culvert that's too small, set at the wrong grade, or backfilled wrong will wash out the first time water really moves. Rangefinder Excavation installs culverts across the Permian Basin for driveways, ranch roads, and road crossings — concrete and metal, single and twin runs, sized to the drainage they're actually handling.

Ground conditions — Abilene, TX

Taylor County ground runs from sandy loam to tight clay with rock ledges, so the same tract can dig three different ways.

Clay holds water long after a rain, which turns unimproved driveways and pads into ruts unless there is base under them and fall away from them.
