A box culvert is a road crossing, a storm drain and a structure all at once. Slater builds cast-in-place box culverts from excavation to backfill: shoring, base slab, walls, top slab, headwalls and wingwalls, all with our own crews and equipment.
What we build
- Single, double and triple cell cast-in-place box culverts
- Headwalls, wingwalls, cutoff walls and channel transitions
- Culvert extensions and replacements at existing crossings
- Culverts built in stages to keep one side of the road open
- Box culverts inside new tracts and under arterial roads
Who hires us
Public agencies and flood control districts hire us for crossings on public roads and channels. National homebuilders and developers bring us in for culverts inside and at the edge of new subdivisions. General contractors sub the culvert to us on street and highway improvement jobs.
How we run the work
We dig, shore and backfill with our own equipment, so the excavation, the concrete and the schedule stay in one set of hands. Pours are planned with the inspector ahead of time, and because we keep forming and shoring material in the yard, we move from base slab to walls to top slab without waiting on rentals.
