Posted: Wednesday 4th March 2020
The Wixams in Bedfordshire is one of the UK’s latest and largest new towns sited on 750 acres of brownfield land formerly known as the Elstow Storage Depot a former WWII munitions site. Once complete some 4,500 new homes together with schools, commercial and retail properties will form the heart of the huge development.

Commenting on the installation, Robert Wharton senior project manager for ECL Civil Engineering says, “The box culvert team at FP McCann has successfully helped to design an offsite precast concrete solution to successfully manage the natural water course channels on this development whilst providing load bearing vehicle crossings. The units were quickly and simply installed and it demonstrates the flexibility that concrete box culvert sections can offer.”
