Storm Drainage & Large-Diameter Pipe
Big pipe and culverts handled by crews built for it.
Overview
Storm Drainage.
Storm drainage is heavy, deep and unforgiving. Castello Brothers installs storm systems from the inlets and laterals through large-diameter trunk lines, culverts, junction structures and outfalls, with the equipment and rigging experience that big pipe demands.
We work in RCP, HDPE and corrugated metal, set on engineered bedding to line and grade so water moves the way the drainage plan intends. From curb and grate inlets to headwalls and outfalls, we build the conveyance that keeps a site from flooding.
Large-diameter pipe is unforgiving of sloppy bedding and backfill. We take grade, joint and cover seriously so the system performs and passes inspection, and we are comfortable working at the depths storm systems reach.
What's Included
Scope of Work
- Storm drain mains and laterals in RCP, HDPE and CMP
- Large-diameter trunk lines and highway culverts
- Curb inlets, grate inlets and junction boxes
- Headwalls, flumes and outfall structures
- Engineered bedding, backfill and grade control
Why It Matters
Built Right the
First Time.
- 01
Built for Big Pipe
The equipment, rigging and crew experience to set large-diameter RCP, HDPE and culverts safely and to grade.
- 02
Drains the Way It Should
Inlets, laterals and trunk lines built to the drainage plan so stormwater is conveyed instead of ponding on the site.
- 03
Bedding That Performs
Large pipe is only as good as what it sits on. We bed and backfill properly so joints stay tight and cover holds up.
- 04
Structures to Match
Inlets, junction boxes, headwalls and outfalls set and connected as part of one coordinated storm package.
How We Work
From First Cut
to Final Backfill.
- 01
Drainage Plan Review
We work through the drainage and grading plans, confirm flow lines, structure elevations and cover, and locate conflicts before digging.
- 02
Excavate for Depth & Size
Storm cuts are opened wide and deep enough for large pipe and structures, shored for safety and dewatered when needed.
- 03
Bed & Set Pipe and Structures
Pipe is set on engineered bedding to line and grade, joints are made up, and inlets, junction boxes and outfalls are placed and connected.
- 04
Backfill & Confirm Flow
We backfill in controlled lifts with proper compaction, protect the pipe and structures, and confirm the system conveys to plan.

Common Questions
Good to
Know.
Bidding a job or have a question about this scope? Call us at (469) 245-1215 and talk to the people doing the work.
What pipe materials and sizes do you install?
We install storm drainage in RCP, HDPE and corrugated metal across the full range of sizes, including large-diameter trunk lines and highway culverts that require crane or excavator rigging.
How deep can you install storm drainage?
Storm systems often run deep. We are set up to excavate, shore and dewater for deep storm cuts and to set large pipe and structures safely at the depths the drainage plan calls for.
Why does bedding matter so much for storm pipe?
Large-diameter pipe carries heavy cover loads. Proper bedding and controlled backfill keep joints tight and the pipe in shape, which is what keeps the system performing and passing inspection.
