Precast concrete box culverts are used for conveyance of fluids such as stormwater and sewage as well as for short span-bridges and access ways. Precast concrete three-sided culverts allow for natural streambeds to remain intact while providing for short-span bridge applications. Because precast box culverts are produced in a controlled environment, they will exhibit high degrees of quality and uniformity. They also offer a multitude of advantages such as superior strength and durability, reduced weather dependency for installation, design flexibility and reduced impact to the job site. Precast concrete is also an environmentally friendly material that will always be readily available. Box culverts are common products and many manufacturers maintain an inventory of several sizes of box culverts ready to be delivered in short notice.
