Precast Concrete Box Sections
Cast-in-place reinforced concrete box culverts have been designed and used for many years because of special waterway requirements, unusual load conditions, or designer preference. As labor costs continue to rise, so do the costs associated with cast-in-place reinforced Concrete. As the volume of highway traffic increases, so does the cost of inconvenience and delay associated with cast-in-place construction methods. The American Concrete Pipe Association’s precast concrete box section program was implemented to develop a product for these applications and to provide an opportunity for specifiers to utilize the inherent advantages of a precast product.
