Operators can regulate water flow for effective stormwater runoff, irrigation, or flood control management.
Precast headwalls are produced off-site and delivered to the project ready for installation allowing the team to install when it suits their schedule.
Manufactured in various shapes, sizes, and designs to fit project requirements and can include wing walls, toe walls, or specific inlet or outlet configurations.
Precast headwalls are manufactured with a variety of finishes and textures, allowing them to blend in with the surrounding environment or meet specific aesthetic requirements.
Initial cost of precast concrete may be higher than cast-in-place, but lower labor costs, less maintenance, and higher quality result in cost savings over the life of the structure.
Precast concrete headwalls are a structural component typically used in drainage, water management, and civil engineering projects. They are a vertical or near-vertical wall made of concrete installed at an inlet or outlet of a culvert, pipe, or channel to control water flow, prevent erosion, and provide structural support.
Headwalls serve multiple purposes and can stabilize transitions, dissipate water energy, anchor pipes, maintain flow direction, while providing aesthetic integration. Many options can be added to the basic precast structure to provide further control. Precast to ASTM specifications in our plants, they are transported to site, ready to install.
A precast concrete headwall works by providing a stable and secure transition between the pipe or culvert and the surrounding soil or embankment, reducing the risk of soil erosion and maintaining the integrity of the watercourse. The precast concrete structure is designed and manufactured off-site, then transported and installed at the desired location. It serves as an anchoring point for the pipe or culvert, preventing movement or damage due to water pressure or ground movement. Headwalls can also include accessories such as energy dissipators, gates, valves, screens, and handrails to further enhance their functionality.
ParkUSA precast concrete headwalls are a durable and cost-effective solution for managing and directing water flow in a variety of applications.
