Box & 3-Sided Culverts
Precast concrete box and 3-sided culverts are incredibly versatile and can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes and configurations. For example, they can be used to convey stormwater or wastewater, create short span-bridges and access ways, or for rainwater retention or detention. In addition, precast concrete 3-sided culverts allow for natural streambeds to remain intact. Precast concrete culverts offer a high degree of quality and uniformity, design flexibility, superior strength and durability, reduced weather dependency during installation, and reduced impact to the job site.
