This is surreal. Spartanburg County in SC just installed 10 sections plus 2 aprons under our pigtail of a road. Then, it widened the road to match. They are awesome. We've had two massive floods since, and they held beautifully with NO erosion!!!
I can see why the pre-cast boxes are so much cheaper to install. I spent many months of my youth building poured-in--place boxes. I do not miss it. :) Nice video.
I have set many of these. The last one was double barrel and around 160 FT. We had one excavator and a 80 ton crane. I just set the 44,000 lb sections and the excavator does the rest. I was never around when they finished the job but all the equip you have there was probably used after I left. I bet you used 1 extra excavator that you owned VS what we used and didn't need to rent a crane. My state uses a seal on the connection without the mastic on the outside so we just drop a red solo cup of concrete in the holes at the pick points and backfill. My first precast culvert was in 1988 and I could be the poster boy for what not to do with a crane but it all worked out. The dumbest thing I ever did with a crane was on a precast culvert but I don't say where or when very often.
They become more in demand here canada.the cost is not cheap but long run pay off.small town use this because faster small bridge install.wildlife use same because save vehicle on road so use this type systems.😮
Can anyone help to choose right dimensions of bury seal between the segment joint. In my project the segment joint is 20mm also do I need to have bury seal at one side or both sides or culver joint
So yo wrapped and sealed the top and sides.. but nothing on the bottom where the water is flowing.. what the hell is keeping it from seeping into the ground?
I have seen this type of construction used in Europe for overpass work ....Quick easy and efficient .. why dont we do this in this country ..Would solve alot of problems ..
placing a concrete pad down is way better because when you put the boxes together there wont be stone between the joints and the pad keeps the level all the time especially if your close to any water table or dirt that's not great . You can say oh thats more money but when you have to go back and fix it you didnt save anything
the bolts that are fixed to prevent the frame bridge elements from separating are not removed?. cannot the excess of these bolts and nuts cause a brake on the perfect flow of runoff water?
Culverts are designed to be self-cleaning under normal circumstances, but still have the capacity to handle the worst flood an area can expect. Those draw bolts will only see water during an extreme flood, and you will be more worried about trees clogging the pipe than a bit of turbulence from the bolts.
So you didn't do nothing. You just used them the way they were used to be used 😂but i like this setup we ise a special shackle one 2 or 3 or 4 anker points around the manhole
As a contractor who builds culverts in New Zealand I relate to this. Good job guys.
That's a bunker ! Plenty of headroom ...two of those side by side x however long you need and your safe until it's time to emerge !

Well done, job! Coconut mats prevent soil erosion on slope to hold vegetation in place. Rock placement, too. Again, very well done project.
Excellent Job!!
That was really interesting and informative. Thanks guys
Love this video. Thanks for sharing.

I'm looking to get into precast culverts. Would you be willing to talk?

Excellent! Do it right once to last and not repair in later years. This will last a long long time.
Pretty neat job😁🙏
You could build one heck of a underground structure out of these units.
Great job...❤❤❤
I wonder if they could be used to build a bunker 🇬🇧
100% yes
Beautiful 👌
That would make a nice carport

We used to push them in with a D8 50 years ago.
Youre old af og
Not sure what your prices are but down here in the south I was quoted $30k for an 8x12 box culvert delivered.
Was that per 6 foot section?
So yo wrapped and sealed the top and sides.. but nothing on the bottom where the water is flowing.. what the hell is keeping it from seeping into the ground?

Restoration was almost as impressive as the culvert itself
Mantappp Pa
very goog job
Would use this foe my house basement
I think precast concrete is the future of building tbh

Say what??
I can drive my truck through that thing. I don’t think a 1” bolt is impeding anything.

Ihr glaubt doch wohl nicht Im ernst, das jemand bei dieser große mit dem ''Stampfer'' fährt....? 😂😂😂
Elma project, what a joke!
The lack of fall protection for those guys on top is freaking me out.
Did the aluminum ladder scare you too?
I can do this box better
How
