OTHER APPLICATIONS...
Custom mitering the unit faces allows for curvatures and roadways placed at angles other than 90° to waterways
Precast bulkheads placed over the ends allow for underground storage of storm water or containment of chemicals
Placing units across a waterway at a 90° angle and backfilling the internal space creates a quick and durable dam system
