Pipe culvert

When a pipe is placed in an excavated trench to move water away, it is known as pipe culvert. It is the most commonly used drainage feature. Economy and ease of installation have made this type of culvert very popular. Pipe culverts are found in different shapes such as circular, elliptical, pipe arch etc. Generally, the shape depends on site conditions and constraints. 

Feature:
1. Hume Large Diameter Pipe Culverts are design and manufacture in accordance to AS 4058 - 1992 or MS 881 - 1991.
2. Size range: 2100mm - 4800mm nominal diameter.
3. Length: 1.2m - 2.5m

Usage Instructions:
• In lowland paths construction.
• In upland paths where suitable stones are not available to build cross drains or stone culvert.

Benefits:
The main advantages of pipe culverts are:
• Any desired strength is achievable by proper mix design, thickness, and reinforcement.
• Economical.
• Easy to Install.
• Pipe culvert can withhold high tensile stresses and compressive stresses.
• As pipe culverts don’t create barriers in the path, they provide a continuous surface over the pipe.
