When the Pharaohs' engineers were building the Pyramids, I wonder what the crane tonnage was and what sort of reach they needed? Surely, some Of those blocks weighed more than 30 tons.

I would put the culvert sections together at grade level with a dozen tie-rods made from scrap steel. Perhaps 1" pipe with threaded rod welded into the ends. I would push the assembly where I wanted it and would start digging with the excavator on one side until the assembly was low enough. It would be a little like sinking a bridge caisson.

This presupposes that your trucker will allow a roll off from his trailer. I don't see a problem if the trailer is adequately blocked and shimmed.
