I am sorry to say, that was not the best decision, but I am sure you did not think it would turn into this big of a deal.
Probably should have just installed a few ADS culverts and covered them with compacted gravel and a concrete slab. Well you know what they say about hindsight!
Can you share any of the plans/documents that you have? I would like to review them and then I could write ups something a bit more meaningful. If you had any pictures taken during the construction, that would also be helpful.
