LAYING PROCEDURE

MUCP^TM Box Culverts should be laid on the prepared bedding [preferable) compacted sand bedding]. However, in bad ground, it may be necessary to excavate deeper or provide with piled foundation [by others] and place a layer of hardcore before placing the sand bedding in accordance to the engineer's [or s.o] specifications and details. Backfilling around culverts units should be done after the lid of the culverts has been installed and it should be carried out in even layers on both sides simultaneously.

For direct impact condition, the backfilling work has to be carried out together with proper compaction method to prevent ground settlement. Different level between the lid and ground will cause the horizontal force during passing by vehicle, which will damage the invert of the culvert
