Culvert Headwalls
A concrete headwall is a structure installed at the outlet of a drain or culvert that functions as a retaining wall to protection against erosion, or as a means to divert flow.
Precast concrete culvert headwalls and wingwalls are a vital component of drainage culverts and bridge sections. Headwalls and wingwalls are designed to function together with the conduit to provide a functional and dependable permanent structure.
A drainage culvert outlet headwall helps to prevent erosion that affects the surrounding area, to lessen the possibility of flooding. Headwalls also help to prevent erosion around bridges, to protect structural integrity.

My father started the Andrew J. Foss, Inc. precast concrete company in 1963 at the age of 19. My precast education started at a very young age. He taught me everything I know about creating quality precast concrete products, from septic tanks to concrete headwalls. He also taught me to succeed in business you need to offer an exceptional product and treat your customers as you would expect to be treated. Now, as an owner of the company along with my brother Matthew, we've taken everything we've learned from our father to start the next generation of our family-owned precast concrete company.
