CULVERTS

PreviousNext
12345

Water control structures are required to guide and control flows into and out of the culvert to limit erosion. These structures
often also have to retain steepened riverbanks. The design of the structure has to address the potential locations of scour risk and provide suitable hydraulic erosion protection.

Reno Mattress® aprons prevent scouring of the culvert foundation.Gabions and Terramesh® are often used as theculvert headwalls and can be designed to support roadways or other infrastructure above

Culvert materials

Regardless of the culvert material (steel, concrete boxes) the flexibility of our solutions enables them to be successfully integrated into the project.The culvert may also be part of a number of hydraulic structures working together to ensure stability of the watercourse; weirs, cascades, channels.

Flow regimes through culverts can be complex. Care is required at the edges of the protection works where the channel returns to natural materials.The most effective solutions often combine products to optimise technical performance and cost.

When the riverbed is not well defined, or variable, it is good practice to extend the culvert wing walls to
protect the flanks

The stability of mass gravity retaining walls relies upon
the structural integrity of the units, and their filled mass,
to support or contain unstable earth slopes. In order to
select the optimum retaining wall solution, key
considerations include:
• The geotechnical parameters of the retained and
foundation soils
• The presence of water and hydrostatic loads
• External loads from structures and live or seismic loads
• The simplicity and speed of construction
