Culvert Installation in Monahans, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides culvert installation throughout Monahans, TX and Ward County. Monahans' sandy soils require different compaction approaches than the clay and caliche found elsewhere in our service area — something our crews account for on every job.

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 — Monahans, TX

Ward County ground is sand — the Monahans Sandhills run right along the north side of town, and sand does not compact the way caliche does.

Sand drains almost too well; the problem is not standing water, it is a surface that will not hold shape under load without imported base.
