X Marks the Spot in Otter Creek
OTTER CREEK RESERVOIR, UTAH
PROJECT DETAILS
Owner: Otter Creek Culverts | Contractor: Carlisle Excavating | Project Scope: Box Culvert
Box culvert finds its use through many different applications. To create a passthrough for water from the Otter Creek Reservoir, the solution was quite clear. Designed for high water flows, this culvert structure focuses on making sure water would not be able to flood the roads and cause traffic issues around the area. Partnering with Carlisle Excavating, Jensen Infrastructure cast and delivered the culvert measuring 18’W x 24’L x 6’H from the Jensen Phoenix plant for installation. Complete with headwalls at the top slabs for the mouth openings, this culvert comes set with four 10’ long wing pieces set on a bias at each corner of the culvert, creating an “X” look from the top down. With the culvert bridging the roadway, drivers have nothing to fear moving around the reservoir.
“This project really showed some of the large, complex structures that Jensen has the capability to produce, especially with the headwalls and wing walls on this design. Utah is not a typical territory that we focus on, but we were able to service the customer outside of our market.”
