Exposed Rebar in Box Culverts
Exposed Rebar in Box Culverts
(OP)
On my project I have several large sized pre-cast box culverts that were transported to the project and have some exposed rebar, what types of epoxy or epoxy/mortar is recommended to seal these and inhibit rusting.

I would consider rejection or let the manufacturer come up with the solution just so as not to take on the liability. The whole point of precast is you get a quick product that meets set specifications. I would require the manufacturer to document all corrections and stamp a letter stating that the box culvert meets or exceeds the specifications as submitted and is accepatble by the regulators. Why should a construction engineer be responsible for a manufacturer error? This is their box and they should stand by their product.
