Application

E-RETE Box Culverts are designed as a precast unit for culvert works and may be used in the construction of

1. Open Drains
2. Ducts
3. Tunnels, sumps, etc.

E-RETE Box Culverts are designed to take a more severe loading than the standard culvert pipe. They are able to withstand direct traffic loading and so may be placed at pavement level or immediately under the road surfacing. As such E-RETE would recommend the use of Box Culverts in areas where the depth of fill over the crown is less than 600 mm in place of culvert pipes as the latter may have to be encased in concrete in order to obtain the required strength. Concrete encasement is a very expensive installation and it is usually not recommended.
