9’ Tank Car Culverts

Strength For Heavy Loads

When you need a culvert that can move large volumes of water while supporting vehicles and heavy equipment, our tank cars deliver. ME Bridges repurposes decommissioned rail tank cars into large-diameter steel culverts that bring strength and long-term value to rural properties and job sites.

These culverts start as rail tank cars built from heavy ½ inch thick plate steel, which is much thicker than standard corrugated steel culverts. The added wall thickness helps the culvert resist denting and deformation, a real advantage when you expect heavy truck traffic, equipment crossings, or harsh site conditions.

Our tank car culverts give you a true large-span option for driveways, farm lanes, and access roads. The 9’ diameter is ideal for locations where storm water comes fast and carries debris.

Each tank car is decommissioned, purged, cleaned and prepared for reuse.

Where tank car culverts work

ME Bridges tank car culverts are used by county supervisors and road departments improving rural infrastructure, by DOT teams tackling drainage and access challenges, and by farmers who need dependable crossings for equipment lanes and field roads.

They are also a practical fit for recreational landowners opening up trails and hard-to-reach property, construction sites that need a tough crossing to keep crews moving, industrial plants dealing with site drainage under truck traffic, and rural homeowners who want a driveway culvert that holds up through heavy rain.
