Precast Concrete Box Culverts
At Gainey’s, we specialize in custom precast concrete box culverts. Unlike producers who rely solely on standard forms, we use custom paneling during production, allowing us to manufacture:
-
Standard Sizes when needed
-
Odd Dimensions & Unique Configurations for complex or space-restricted projects
This flexibility gives engineers and municipalities the ability to solve unique site challenges with structurally sound, efficient solutions.
Box Culverts vs. Bridges
When designing water crossings, drainage channels, or underpasses, engineers often face the decision: Box Culvert or Bridge? Both have advantages, and at Gainey’s, we build both solutions so you can make the right choice for your project.
Precast Bridge | Precast Box Culvert | Feature / Factor |
|---|---|---|
Moderate; requires inspection of bearings and deck | Low maintenance, enclosed design protects structure | Maintenance |
Better for wide-open spans or areas with high clearance needs | Highly customizable (odd dimensions, unique site challenges) | Flexibility |
Strong structural capacity, adaptable to heavy loads | Resistant to erosion, excellent for stormwater management | Durability |
Longer install time, requires more heavy equipment | Faster for small-to-medium crossings; minimal site prep | Installation Speed |
Higher initial investment but economical for long spans | Higher upfront on custom designs, but efficient for repetitive units | Cost |
Longer spans, heavy traffic roads, navigable waterways | Moderate spans, drainage channels, pedestrian tunnels, utilities | Best For |
