Solution: County Materials supplies a concrete box culvert and reinforced concrete pipe to enhance drainage and manage water flow in Wisconsin’s Marathon County.
Due to urban development, Marathon County updated its stormwater management system to enhance flow capacity. The $3 million project involved reconstructing the street, replacing water and sewer lines, and improving the stormwater management system. County Materials’ Concrete Box Culvert and Reinforced Concrete Pipe offered an effective solution. Both products require minimal maintenance and have a service life of over 100 years.
Concrete box culverts are engineered to endure larger volumes of water, making them ideal for applications such as water diversion projects, hydroelectric generation facilities, groundwater recharge systems, and underground stormwater retention structures. Their wide span and short rise offer improved hydraulic efficiency.
County Materials also manufactured and delivered nearly 2,000 LF of round and elliptical reinforced concrete pipe for the South Park Street project. Concrete pipe was chosen for its durability and versatility in municipal applications. Designed to withstand various underground environments and effluent profiles, concrete pipe reduces the risk of pipeline infrastructure compromising evacuation routes.
Inclement weather during the project required the contractor to make last-minute changes to the construction schedule. County Materials adjusted to the new schedule and provided timely delivery of the box culverts and concrete pipe to keep the project on schedule and minimize traffic disruptions.
Project Highlights:
Box culverts and reinforced concrete pipe are a critical infrastructure element that help prevent flooding and provide structural support for roadways. County Materials supplied both to improve the stormwater management system of Wisconsin’s Marathon County.
