In simple terms, a culvert can be defined as a tunnel that is constructed under a roadway or railway in order to transport electrical cables or provide cross drainage. Culvert pipes come in various shapes and designs that depend on factors such as roadway height, the elevation of the water surface, and hydraulic conditions. At our warehouses in Avoca, Rochester, and Watertown, we carry culverts of all makes and models. The most important culvert types include:

Owing to their affordable pricing and relatively easy installation, pipe culverts are by far the most popular option today. They come in various shapes (elliptical, circular, pipe arch) and can be used either individually or in combination with multiple culverts in case of larger flows.
Another popular option, box culverts feature a concrete floor that allows for smooth water flow. They are typically made from reinforced concrete, creating a rigid frame structure. While box culverts can be great for non-perennial streams, they do have some setbacks. For instance, diversion or dewatering may be necessary for installation, as the culverts need to be installed on a dry surface.
Arch culverts are lightweight arches suitable for openings of larger but stable waterways. Pipe arches are characterized by a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and are recommended for sites with limited headroom. These culverts are typically made of stone masonry, RCC, or metal and are relatively easy to install.
Bridge culverts are exactly what their name indicates: both a culvert and a bridge. They are rectangular and typically constructed on canals and rivers by laying a foundation underground and a pavement surface on top. This multipurpose culvert is constructed to be extremely strong in order to withstand traffic.
These culverts also serve a dual purpose but are slightly more economical when compared to the standard bridge culverts. Metal box culverts are low profile and typically manufactured from standard or deep corrugated structural plates. They are the best for sites where there is a need to maintain the existing road grade.
