Box Culverts & Tunnels

2000 Concrete specializes in cut and cover tunnel construction. Both drainage tunnels (called box culverts) and utility tunnels sometimes require special construction techniques - especially when these underground structures are built in congested and/or urban areas. These measures may include utility location, utility support, support-of excavation, waterproofing, dewatering, and special formwork systems. Please allow 2000 Concrete to use our knowledge to solve your constructability problems.
