With the continuous promotion of transportation construction and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the application prospects of metal culverts will be even broader. In the future, metal culverts will pay more attention to technological innovation and quality improvement to meet the needs of different transportation construction projects. At the same time, metal culverts will also be combined with other building materials to form a more diversified and composite transportation construction plan.

Metal culverts have a wide range of applications in transportation construction such as highways, railways, and bridges. It can be used as a drainage culvert, channel culvert, bridge reinforcement structure, etc., to meet different transportation construction needs. Especially in areas with complex geological conditions and harsh construction environments, the application of metal culverts is particularly important.

As a flexible structure, metal culverts have certain seismic resistance. It can adapt to the settlement and deformation of the foundation, especially suitable for earthquake prone areas and areas with poor geological conditions. The construction cost of metal culverts is relatively low, especially in areas lacking sand and gravel materials or with low foundation bearing capacity, and their economic benefits are more significant. Meanwhile, metal culverts have a long service life, low maintenance costs, and high economic benefits.

The metal culvert adopts standardized design, with a short production cycle and stable and reliable quality. Meanwhile, standardized design also facilitates quality control and management during the construction process. The use of metal culverts reduces the demand for traditional building materials such as cement, yellow sand, stones, etc., and reduces the consumption of natural resources. Meanwhile, metal culverts can be recycled and reused, meeting environmental protection requirements.

Metal culverts, also known as metal corrugated culverts or steel corrugated pipe culverts, are a special type of culvert structure mainly used for culverts (pipes) in various engineering projects such as highways, railways, small bridges, passages, retaining walls, as well as mine and roadway retaining wall support. The following is a detailed introduction to the main characteristics and composition of metal culverts:
