Technology

The vinyl open-road culverts are the result of cooperation of the Pietrucha Group R&D Division, academics from the Forrest Faculty of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW and the representatives of the State Forests.

The vinyl open-road culverts are a durable and maintenance-free alternative to the traditional road draingage solutions. The vinyl open-road culvert is installed 15 cm deep in the road structure. In case of roads reinforced with geogrids or geocells, vinyl open-road culverts do not breach the load-bearing layer of the road. In case of wooden solutions, geogrid or geocell must be cut at the edge of the culvert. In case of vinyl open-top culverts, the reinforcement runs beneath the vinyl profile.

Average length of the vinyl open-top culvert – six metres

Maximum length – thirteen metres

The Pietrucha quality: 25 years’ experience, high precision and systematized manufacturing processes.

The small retention sluice gates are made from tough polyvinyl chloride. Thanks to the use of this closed-cycle recycling method, vinyl sheet piles are an environmentally friendly solution. Application of the ISO 9001:2008 standard has enabled us to provide and maintain high quality products, while introduction of specially designed procedures has systematized our operations in the company, which are now an integral part of it.
