HANDlING

Rocla® box culverts are supplied with cast-in SwiftLift anchors of appropriate size. There are
generally four anchors in the crown of the box culvert for handling and installation. Box
culverts are generally lifted and transported in the “legs down” position (“legs-up” for
inverts). Some culverts may be transported “on-edge” and must be turned to the installed
position on site. For some large culverts, bracing may be provided to stabilise the legs during
transport.

INStAllAtIoN

Installation should be in accordance with project-specific drawings and specifications.
