What is the difference between box culvert and pipe?
Basically, a culvert means a covered hydraulic structure which conveys fluid. Therefore in a broad sense, pipe culverts in a small scale represent normal pipes like precast concrete pipes. In terms of hydraulic performance, circular section is the best geometrical sections among all. Therefore, for relative small discharge, precast concrete pipes and ductile iron pipes are normally used which are circular in shape. But for applications of very large flow, precast concrete pipes and ductile iron pipes may not be available in current market. In this connection, cast-in-situ construction has to be employed. It is beyond doubt that the fabrication of formwork for circular shape is difficult when compared with normal box culvert structures. However, circular shape is the most hydraulic efficient structure which means for a given discharge, the area of flow is minimum. Therefore, it helps to save the cost of extra linings required for the choice of box culverts. However, box culverts do possess some advantages. For example, they can cope with large flow situation where headroom is limited because the height of box culverts can be reduced while the size of pipe culverts is fixed. Secondly, for some difficult site conditions, e.g. excavation of structure in rock, for the same equivalent cross-sectional area, the width of box culverts can be designed to be smaller than that of pipe culverts and this enhances smaller amount of excavation and backfilling

Can pollution get in culverts?
Yes, pollution can enter culverts through stormwater runoff, illegal dumping, or accidental spills. This can contaminate water bodies and harm aquatic ecosystems. Regular maintenance and proper management practices can help reduce pollution in culverts.
What is the difference between bridge and culverts?
Cause culverts smell like apples and bridges and monkey but bridges are weird looking and trucks go over themm.
What are the advantages of copper pipe fittings over plastic?
The advantages of copper pipe fittings over plastic is that copper does not bend or break as easily as plastic, so it lasts longer and is much more reliable as well.
Can I replace one 24 culvert with two of a smaller size?
Assuming you are talking about a culvert of diameter= 24, you would need 2 culverts of a diameter= 17, or 2 culverts of different sizes as long as the square areas of the two culverts added up to the same area as the larger culvert.

What is the advantage of pex pipe?
The two main advantages is that its cheaper than copper and is easier to install.
Emages for apron slab for box culvert?

What are the Multilayer composite pipe and its advantages and can you recommend some companies that sell PAP pipes?
PAP(PEX-AL-PEX) pipe is composed of a five-layer structure consisting of inner and outer layers of polyethylene, a middle layer of longitudinally welded aluminum pipe, and two layers of adhesive between the aluminum pipe and the polyethylene. It has the comprehensive advantages of metal pipe and pure plastic pipe - excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. Compared to plastic pipe, PAP pipe can endure higher pressures and higher temperature, as well as excellent performance in oxide isolation; Compared to metal pipe, PAP pipe is much lighter, easier to apply(ease to cut and bendable), low cost(saving fittings), etc. Relevant companies are RIIFO, VIEGA, UPONOR.

On side hill cuts or steep grades ditch relief culverts should be installed at What angle?
On sidehill cuts or steep grades, ditch relief culverts should be installed at an angle of 60º to the centerline for more direct entrance of water into the culvert.
