Culvert pipe can be used in any situation where you need to direct water runoff or overflow such as rainwater to another location. For example, culvert pipe is commonly used to move irrigation water or direct run-off water from one place to the other. Culvert pipe is commonly used in residential, farming, and other construction projects. This type of pipe is also known as sluice pipe or flume pipe when it is used in situations where water needs to be directed elsewhere to a designated location.
Culvert pipe is also commonly used to direct water from one side of a road, going directly underneath the road, to the other side of the road. In this case, the culvert pipe needs to be very strong, durable, and able to withstand heavy loads from road traffic.
The durability and thickness of steel pipe gives it greater strength over concrete or corrugated pipe. Therefore, steel pipe is commonly used in culvert applications. At P.I.T. Pipe, we supply a wide variety of types of pipe that can be used as culverts. Because the culvert pipe we carry is stronger and more durable, it can be used for more aggressive applications and will usually outlast many other types of pipe. Reconditioned or used pipe is a great and affordable option for these types of applications because culvert pipe does not need to meet exact or strict specifications.
At P.I.T. Pipe, we carry a huge selection of steel culvert pipe and many other types and grades of steel piping. This includes surplus, reconditioned, and used pipe available at discount prices. We can also fabricate any type of steel pipe or structural steel you might need for your next construction project. We can cut pipe to meet any lengths and can deliver culvert pipe directly to your worksite anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Mexico.

Culvert is a tunnel carrying a stream under a road or railway. A culvert may act as a bridge for traffic to pass on it. They are typically found in a natural flow of water and serves the purpose of a bridge or a current flow controller.
Culverts are available in many and shape like round, elliptical, flat-bottomed, pear-shaped, and box-like constructions. Culverts are by their load and water flow capacities, lifespan and installation of bedding and backfill. The type is based on a number of factors including hydraulic, upstream elevation, and roadway height and other conditions.
Following are the different types of Culvert:
Pipe Culvert
Pipe culverts are the most common types of culverts due to competitive price and easy installation. They are found in different shapes such as circular, elliptical and pipe arch.

Box Culvert
Box culverts are made up of concrete and especially, RCC (Reinforced Concrete). The most challenging part in constructing a box culvert is that dry surface is needed for installing it. However, due to the strength of the concrete floor, water direction can be changed when a large amount of water is expected. This feature makes box culverts, one of the most commonly found types of the culvert.
