Culvert Sizing & Design Tools

Culvert hydraulics — inlet versus outlet control, headwater limits, HDS-5 nomographs — is one of the most common tasks in drainage design. This page collects FHWA HY-8, open-source culvert solvers and scripted implementations of the HDS-5 procedure, so you can size crossings with tools that match your review authority’s expectations.
