Home / Products / Box Culverts

Precast Box Culverts are ideal for situations where depth or height restrictions demand wide, shallow conduits to handle required flows, as well as:

	Installations where circular or elliptical concrete pipe cannot provide adequate flow capacity
	As a superior substitute for cast-in-place box culverts, long-span metal arches, short bridges and multibarrel circular culverts or drains
