Stormwater, culverts & maintenance holes
Start with the asset owner’s drawings and the relevant Australian or AS/NZS product specification. Sewer maintenance holes, stormwater pits and box culverts serve different functions; define each component before planning the mould. Use millimetres for products and metres for the factory layout.

Questions, answered
Before you enquire.
What is the difference between a box culvert and a U-drain?
A box culvert is generally a closed rectangular conduit. A U-drain is an open channel with a base and two side walls. The geometry changes how the mould, reinforcement and demoulding arrangement are planned.
Can a tilting arrangement be included?
Discuss the proposed product and handling method with Param. Any tilting arrangement, capacity and controls should be confirmed in the equipment proposal.
What drawings are needed for a quotation?
Provide dimensioned product drawings, reinforcement details, joint profiles and the project specification. These are more useful than a nominal width alone.
