What are Concrete Culverts?

The Basics and Why They’re Important in Infrastructure

Concrete culverts are precast concrete structures that allow water to flow under roads, railways and other infrastructure. They are a critical component in modern infrastructure projects, solving stormwater drainage and transportation problems. Concrete culverts are strong, durable and easy to install, they’re a popular choice for construction projects. They can be designed to meet project requirements, height, length and width and come in various sizes, large box culverts and small box culverts. They ensure efficient water management and infrastructure longevity and safety.

Concrete Culverts Applications

Solutions for All Construction Needs

Concrete culverts have many applications in construction projects. They are part of stormwater drainage systems, bridge and platform construction and other infrastructure projects. By managing water flow efficiently concrete culverts reduce flood risk and are easy to install. In urban developments and highways they mitigate flood risk and ensure infrastructure durability. They can also be used with other drainage products like catch basins and grates to create a full stormwater management system. Their versatility and reliability makes them an essential component in all construction projects.

Headwalls and Wingwalls

Structural Integrity and Aesthetics

Headwalls and wingwalls are part of concrete culverts, providing structural integrity and aesthetics. Headwalls are precast concrete structures that connect the culvert to the surrounding soil or rock, ensuring stability and preventing erosion. Wingwalls support the headwall and add extra stability to the structure. Sloping headwalls are designed to provide a smooth gradual slope for water to flow into a drainage system, can be customised to site requirements. Using concrete headwalls eliminates the need for premix concrete, delivers ‘at-strength’ concrete on delivery and reduces installation time and labour. These features make headwalls and wingwalls a cost effective solution for performance and appearance of drainage systems.
