Drainage Structures

Concrete Drainage Structures

Concrete Drainage Structures are an Essential Civil Construction

It’s critical to find a path for a natural body of water to flow uninterrupted by the construction of roads or surfaces for vehicles and pedestrians to cross safely. For this reason, concrete drainage structures are the solution and allow water to flow under a road, railroad, or trail. Genesis Concreting has been assisting civil engineer project managers and various council project managers with the construction of culverts.

Benefits of Concrete Culverts

The primary reason for the installation of culverts is to facilitate the flow of water and create safe passage for people, animals, and vehicles to cross over the water. There are a few types of culverts such as the complete pipe, pipe arc and box, to mention a few. Pipe Culvert: These culvert base slabs are the most used in all industries as they are extremely easy to install. Pipe culvert base slabs come in various shapes ranging from circular to elliptical, depending on the conditions. When mixed and reinforced correctly, these can have the desired strength. They can withstand the pressure with ease. Pipe-Arch Culvert: These culvert base slabs are apt for large waterway opening, so there is a hydraulic advantage for the fishes. In places with limited headroom, we can install these. Their shapes can be attractive and appealing. These are lightweight and can be installed conveniently. Box Culvert: Box culvert base slabs are constructed using concrete, particularly Reinforced Concrete (RCC). However, it is a bit complex in installation as the surface should be arid and parched. As the concrete is strong, the water direction can change too when much water is coming. Box culverts are installed in non-perennial streams where the scrub is not that deep. These are rigid, and there is no separate foundation needed. Every type renders various benefits along with some general services, which are as follows:
  • Excess water can cause damage to a structure. It may also result in flooding which can be prevented by a culvert. Soil gets carried away by large bodies of water which leads to erosion and the weakening of structures built alongside the soil. Culverts nullify the potential harm of the overflow of water.
  • Water is an essential component of several operations. Farmers rely on water for their crops and their animals. Installing culverts diverts water into areas where it’s needed, often a requirement from civil engineers.
  • We can install concrete culverts base slabs quickly as our team is experienced in the installation of the bases. We are able to work alongside the client to then have the precast culverts installed correctly on our slab. As a result, the structure can take weight immediately after placing and backfilling. Even without an overfill, these culverts withstand heavy loads and are better than other systems that require compacted overfill before taking on a load.
Our Other Services
Our main operations are formwork, place and tie steel and place and finish concrete for the below listed services, but it is not what we do but rather how we do it that sets us apart from our competitors.
Structural Drainage Pits
The creation of in situ concrete structures is often preferable to the use of pre-cast and transported slabs. Cast Insitu Pits is well known in the civil and construction industry for many years and deservingly so as they are efficient,and effective.

GPTs
The GPT, or gross pollutant trap, is one of the most important elements of any wastewater or stormwater system across Australia. When developing a site for new construction or an expansion of an existing property, adding a GPT may be a necessity based on the circumstances of the site.
