Rail Bridges

Box culverts are an ideal solution for rail bridges, particularly in difficult site conditions where installation requires minimal excavation and backfill. Humes manufactures a full range of precast concrete box culverts from 300mm to 6600mm span, in configurations to AS1597 (Parts 1 and 2). Box culverts are generally available in standard lengths of 1.2m and 2.4m, with custom designs such as splayed units also available.

Humes manufactures a wide range of prestressed bridge componentry including girders, decks, planks, I-beams and hexagonal prestressed piles. These prestressed products are suitable for major rail bridges through to minor infrastructure works, with Humes’ in-house engineering team able to design non-standard items where required.

Humes is an accredited manufacturer of prestressed structures for road and rail authorities, supplying decks and planks (up to 25m), Super-T girders/T-Roffs (up to 35m) and I-beams. Where required, cathodic protection systems can be encased, particularly in tidal splash zones, to ensure long service life.

Humes stormwater pipes and headwalls provide an ideal solution for railway crossings over waterways where minimal backfill is required. Steel reinforced concrete pipes are available from DN225 to DN3600 in standard strength classes 2–4 and super strength classes 6–10.
