Afinitas Box Culvert Forming System Highlights
What is a Precast Box Culvert Form?
As most municipal and manufacturing experts know, culverts are drainage systems that exist underneath roads, bridges and other forms of transportation infrastructure to allow for water to flow freely underneath.
Box culverts, also known as four sided concrete culverts, are incredibly versatile formed concrete products suitable for use in retrofit projects, in places like tunnels, underneath bridges, subways, storage facilities and more.
For manufacturers of precast culvert forms, a box culvert formwork system is necessary to craft quality box culverts that fit unique project specifications.
Benefits of Precast Box Culvert Systems
Box culverts are made from reinforced concrete. The biggest problem contractors have with installing box culverts versus other culvert installation such as piping is that concrete cannot be installed in a wet area, as culverts are often installed over rivers, dams and lakes.
Because of this, concrete culverts must be precast, and installed in place once concrete has fully dried.
Box culverts are incredibly economical and provide a solid foundation to support above ground structures such as roads.
