Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concrete headwall used for?
A concrete headwall sits at the inlet or outlet of a culvert or pipe. It retains the embankment so the fill does not slump into the waterway, holds the pipe or culvert in position, and controls scour by directing flow into and out of the opening.
What is a sloping headwall?
A sloping headwall has an angled face rather than a vertical one. The slope reduces the severity of impact where a vehicle may leave the road and strike it, which is why sloping headwalls are commonly specified on driveways and roadside drainage.
What is the difference between a sloping headwall and a winged headwall?
A sloping headwall has an angled face designed to reduce impact severity at roadsides. A winged headwall has splayed wing walls either side of the opening that guide flow in and out and hold back the embankment. Wings are about hydraulics and retention; the slope is about safety.
