Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of highway box culvert construction, and in particular to a box culvert construction process. Background Art

[0002] Traditional highway box culvert construction techniques mostly involve assembling steel formwork or using steel formwork trolleys. Combining steel formwork requires repeated installation and removal of brackets and steel formwork, requiring a heavy workload involving manual labor and the coordination of truck cranes. Conventional formwork installation and removal is labor-intensive, with multiple steps and long lead times, requiring significant investment in both manpower and resources. This not only poses high safety risks and increases the risk of steel rust, but also exposes the formwork to deformation, damage, and contamination, making the concrete's appearance difficult to guarantee. Steel formwork trolley construction techniques are expensive, large, and heavy, making them difficult to modify and relocate. This makes them unsuitable for the scattered, numerous, angled, and diverse box culverts found on highways. Summary of the Invention
