Vertically set, monolithic box culvert
Jensen Precast's Verti-Set Box Culvert is a four-sided, vertically set monolithic box culvert designed to eliminate the need for tugging the joints together with a pulley system, which, according to the company, frequently drags subgrade materials into the joint. These materials can compromise the sealant and leave large joint gaps that allow infiltration of water as well as bedding materials. Verti-Set Box Culvert is available in spans from 4 to 12 feet and heights from 4 to 12 feet.

Concrete waterproofing membrane
W.R. Meadows introduced HRM 714, a hot-applied rubberized asphalt membrane used to waterproof concrete. HRM 714 is a 100-percent solids blend of asphalts, synthetic rubber polymers, and filler formulated to provide toughness with flexibility and low moisture vapor permeance. According to the company, it is ideal for horizontal and vertical applications for waterproofing bridges, parking lots, plazas, or promenade decks; tunnels; pedestrian concourses; and other similar types of construction where a monolithic waterproofing membrane is desirable.
