The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) and many jurisdictions define a bridge as a structure with a span greater than three metres. Standard CSP culverts are available in diameters up to 3600 mm or in pipe arch shapes with spans up to 4370 mm. Long lengths of lightweight CSP make for fast, economical bridge installations.

Alleviate urban flooding by using CSP storm sewers to collect and direct storm water runoff.
Culverts are enclosed channels serving as a continuation of an open stream that has met an artificial barrier such as a road or embankment. When wildlife is affected new roadways, smaller culverts may be added to aid in crossing the roads and decreasing fatalities. In the case where fish and wildlife live in a stream, the culvert may be fitted with baffles to encourage fish migration.
