What size box culvert can WCCP cast?
What size box culvert can WCCP cast? We have the capability to manufacture precast concrete culverts up to 2.6m × 3.6m (8ft6in × 11ft10in) overall, up to 1.0m high, with a minimum clear opening of 700mm × 700mm (2ft4in × 2ft4in). Wall thickness is adjustable per side to suit the application (minimum 100mm), manufactured in compliance with applicable British Standards.

Common questions
What do buyers ask about culverts?
Can you make bespoke shapes?
Yes. We draw, mould and cast one-offs all the time — from architectural copings to non-standard culvert sections. Send a sketch or DWG and we'll come back with feasibility, cost and a lead time.
Are your products CE / UKCA marked?
Our products are manufactured in compliance with applicable British Standards, under factory production control. For information regarding the specific standards applicable to a particular product, please contact us. CE/UKCA marking and Declaration of Performance status vary by product — ask the office to confirm exactly what applies to your order before you rely on it for a compliance submission.
What's the lead time on a specified civils project?
Please call to check current lead times for your project. Phased deliveries are available to suit your programme — tell us your site's fixing rate and we'll match it.
Can you provide drawings or CAD blocks?
Yes — PDF data sheets and 2D .dwg blocks for AutoCAD, from our /downloads page. We do not publish BIM models or parametric Revit (.rfa) families. Most of our CAD work is in SketchUp, and for a specific job we can sometimes export an IFC that Revit will read — ring the office and ask rather than expecting a download.
How are products craned into place?
Panels are supplied with cast-in lifting anchors (Halfen-style). Units are delivered by artic or rigid lorry — on site you'll need a telehandler, forklift or crane to unload and position panels, depending on weight.
