South Frontenac Upgrades Culvert from Steel to Concrete

Last year, the Township of South Frontenac invested $375,000 from the Canada Community-Building Fund into replacing a 15-meter-long culvert along Wilmer Road. 

The original culvert failed without warning in 2023, and the Township sought an assessment for emergency repairs from an independent engineering firm. The assessment determined a full replacement was required.  

The Township used precast concrete for the new culvert. The previous one was made of corrugated steel. Precast concrete has a longer service life than corrugated steel and wears down much more gradually. New guide rails were also installed to enhance overall safety. 

Thanks to the CCBF and the new culvert, South Frontenac can continue to deliver high-quality service to its residents.
