Scarify a Road Surface

If you watch the video you will see a log or tree jam on the right. The culvert pipe did not rust out, it became clogged. The open end of it has to be free of debris or any thing that stops the water flow thru it. You should notice the water ran over the roadway due to the clog. The dirt and gravel will give way over time and the water back-up was wide which really exerts a lot of pressure. once the water pushed enough gravel away from the buried pipe, the pavement (asphalt) started to lift and loosen more gravel, then enough gravel was washed away and the asphalt with it and the culvert pipe popped up twisted and you could see it was bent on the end. The gravel is loosened, the dirt under it goes and more asphalt crumbles and it repeats the cycle. Highway crews try to keep the head-walls and culverts clear, but nature rules as you just saw. Hope this explains things, I used to pave highways and install these culvert pipes. When the ground drys out there will be a lot of compacting and filling work to do and maybe 2 pipes or even a larger one re-installed.

i hope this is not nigeria road........

It's amazing how a neglected culvert pipe can do so much damage. The water didn't have anywhere to go except around the pipe until it had erroded away the dirt to the point there was nothing left to hold the asphalt road up.

i am no structural engineer but 4 inches of ashphalt on clay not real sturdy
sorry to hear ppl actually died guy with video cam broad daylight could not put up warning get some police something??

A few years ago the southern highway caved in, it got dark and cars kept falling into a a 100-foot ditch despite the warnings of survivors that waved them to stop. The many drivers that got killed that night thought those who were waving wanted to assault them, so they stepped on the gas pedal...

i am thinking was made in phils... our leaders are corrupt... the cost might be 3 million they will make it 7 million pesos but the quality of road is not that good....

send me a vidio dance arabe

superb, how you shoot this , send me some unbelivable things to my id

DAMAGE TO HIWAY BRIDGE AND EVEN TREES WOW

Unbelievable

This is not scarification of a road surface. This is undermining of a road bed. It was due to a clogged or undersized culvert. As a result, water accumulated near the culvert opening faster than it could be moved through it. The hydraulic pressure eroded the road bed beneath the pavement lifts. The pavement collapsed into the trench, and the culvert floated to the surface.

That is some scary shit

that was pretty epic. lets see some dumbass drive into that thing.

thats it you can call it mother nature i call it crapy work

shit

that is sooo nuts. i thought it was a bridge at first then i realized it was a road and the mud that supported the tarmac was just flowing away then road collapsed. 5 stars

Was this a low spot or was this a bridge? It's hard to tell. Pretty neat.

how does this guy knew this is gona coming strange!!! i dont belive he was filming on nothin and got this

Im so glad no one got busted, whew.. Thats must be scary .. wow thats really strong of water flow to push it off.. wow wow..

nature at 1 of its best-destroying.

Now no one will say it's a fake

fucked.

can some body tell me more details about this video

hi....

whats the story can anyone tell me some more details like when this happened... it seems so interesting

crap. Looks like the pipe rusted out, and then the water washed out the ground underneath. The thing just collapsed on itself. Too bad for traffic lol.

That was scary. Good thing no one was injured.

omg!what happened??where did the water being sucked?

maybe show someone what to do to prevent it happening again

Pls tell.
