    This document describes an alternative method for quickly constructing culverts using pre-cast boxes and pipes. It can construct culverts in a fraction of the time of traditional methods due to the ability to pre-cast components off-site. Pre-cast boxes and pipes are constructed of reinforced concrete at a production facility then transported and installed using a boom truck. This allows culverts to be installed and the road reopened within hours compared to weeks for traditional construction. It also reduces costs and disruption compared to other methods.

    ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR SPEEDY CULVERT CONSTRUCTION

    CASE STUDY IN KEGALLE DISTRICT

    BY
    PRASANNA KANGARA
    [RESIDENT ENGINEER - KEGALLE)
    INTEGRATED ROAD INVESTMENT PROGRAM
    Need for Speedy Method
     Stage construction is limited due to restricted ROW
     Difficult to construct By-Pass roads due to restricted ROW and
    Terrain/Geometry in Kegalle Area

     Impossible to close roads for longer durations

    Solution – PRE CAST CULVERTS


    > PRE CAST CULVERTS
    Two types…..
    * PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS
    * PRE CAST HUME PIPE CULVERTS
    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS
     Pre Cast Box Culvert is formed by pouring Grade 25/20 concrete in to the
    reinforced box panel which consist of 950mm Wide, 175mm Thick (Base &
    Deck) and 600mm High & 175mm Wide Double Walls,1 m long at Pre Cast
    yard.

    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…
     The inward & outward sockets can be introduced in pre
    cast box panels which is used to control lateral, upward &
    downward movements of pre cast boxes.
    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…
     After the curing, pre cast boxes shall be transported to construction sites by a
    boom truck.
     Head Walls up to culvert Base Level shall be constructed before placing of pre cast
    boxes.
     The Placing bed for Pre Cast Boxes shall be prepared with ABC (150mm Thick) plus
    15mm Thick quarry dust layer.
     Pre Cast Boxes shall be placed across the road by a Boom Truck

     Placing of a pre cast box using a Boom Truck


    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…
     300mm wide Geo-textile Layers shall be wrapped at joints of pre cast boxes
    to avoid infiltration of backfill material around the pre cast boxes in to the
    culvert through the joints.
    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…
     The excavated area should be back filled using suitable material [Ex.
    Sand, Quarry Dust, ABC or Soil] and ABC overlay will be done to allow
    for traffic.

     The possible time frame for this method of a pre cast box culvert
    completion is about 08 Hours, and can be opened for traffic.
    (Except Balance Part of the Head Walls etc..)

     Labour Requirement
    - Two Skilled Workmen
    - Two Un-skilled Workmen
    - Boom Truck Operator
    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…

     Head walls along the road shall be constructed up to road


    finish levels and then catch pit for up stream side will be
    launched to divert up stream flow.

     Down stream side leader way should be cleared for free


    flow across the culvert to the end of leader way path.
    PRE CAST BOX CULVERTS…Contd…
     After Completion…
    PRE CAST PIPE CULVERTS…Contd…

    Pre Cast Hume Pipe Culverts also can be


    constructed with same procedure as
    described below.
