Contech CHS® – Culvert Headwall System
CHS® – CULVERT HEADWALL SYSTEM
CHS® – CULVERT HEADWALL SYSTEM
CHS® is composed of a corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert, prefabricated flat panel headwall and metric sheeting wingwalls to create a single or multi-barrel culvert system for all types and sizes.
Designing with steel headwalls can save thousands of dollars versus conventional concrete headwalls.

DURABILITY
Steel headwalls are available in hot-dip galvanized (HDG) heavy gage steel. HDG headwalls are compatible with galvanized steel, aluminized steel, and polymer coated steel pipe culverts.
CHS® – ENHANCED END TREATMENT PROTECTION
Contech has over 100 years of experience manufacturing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) for culverts and other drainage structures. Steel headwalls reduce the potential for scour and the undermining of a culvert during flow events, including a major storm for all types of basins. CHS® is composed of a CMP culvert, prefabricated flat panel headwall and metric sheeting wingwalls to create a single or multi-barrel culvert system for all types and sizes. Designing with steel headwalls can save thousands of dollars versus conventional concrete headwalls.

EFFICIENT INLET FLOW DESIGN
Steel headwalls can more efficiently direct flows into culvert, decreasing entrance losses when compared to other entrance conditions.
PROJECT COST & TIME SAVINGS
CHS® provides immediate material savings and construction savings. Crane rental is typically not required when installing steel headwalls versus heavy concrete sections. CHS® allows for installation in standing water. Factory made pre-fabricated steel headwalls can save weeks of installation time versus poured in place concrete headwalls.
