Since the late 1970s, precast box sections have become an important component in the construction of culverts, storm drains and sewers, but there has not been a comprehensive standard for the installation of such sections. A new ASTM International standard fills this gap. ASTM C1675, Practice for Installation of Precast Reinforced Concrete Monolithic Box Sections for Culverts, Storm Drains and…, Technical Contact:, Roman Selig, Hamilton Kent LLC, Birmingham, Ala., Phone: 205-910-0690; roman.selig@hamiltonkent.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Diane Trinsey, Phone: 610-832-9661; dtrinsey@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org R elease #9243

ASTM International Committee G04 on Compatibility and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres originally developed the standard, G 88, Guide for Designing Systems for Oxygen Service, in 1984. Since that time, G 88 has been regarded as one of the leading design guides for oxygen systems throughout all industries that use oxygen. While the original version of the standard contained…
