Many organizations such as USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, NOAA, US Fish and Wildlife Services, Trout Unlimited, and State Environmental Programs help provide grants.
How long do the stream crossings last?
Our Box and Arch Culverts are expected to last 50-75 years, saving money in the long term. Our crossings withstand flooding and can better weather the increasingly intense storms we are experiencing without damaging the road.
Why are Precast Culverts better than traditional culverts?
Dirigo Bridge Co products last longer than traditional culverts and reduce maintenance costs, saving money in the long term. Withstanding flooding and can better weather the increasingly intense storms we are experiencing without damaging the road. During the past intense rainstorms we have identified that the as the gravel disappears around the plastic culvert, the culvert is lifted by current and moved downstream whereas our culverts are too heavy to be moved.
