Concrete pipe usually consists of a type of cement and the use of metal to help give it strength! Concrete pipe has been used successfully in construction for a very long time. Concrete pipe has been known to last for over 100 years! Below are some common benefits of using concrete pipe:
- It's Strength: Precast concrete pipe is thought to be one of the strongest pipes used in drainage for cities, roads..etc. When concrete is reinforced, it becomes a solid and reliable material to help meet the growing demands of today's world!
- It's Resilience: Concrete piping is extremely resilient and very durable! As a mater of fact, the Webster's dictionary describes it as, "able to exist for a long time without significant deterioration.
- It's Dependability: Concrete piping has proven itself over the many years we have used it in construction and other projects. It has become a very dependable and reliable building source over the years. Certain mixes and alterations can change the characteristics of this product and therefore can be utilized in different ways and applications.
- It's Non-Flammable: Concrete pipe does not have anything in it to make it burn. It will not corrode prematurely or collapse as long as it is being used within the usage guidelines for that particular concrete product.
- Cost and Value: Concrete pipe remains one of the strongest, most hydraulically efficient, durable and environmentally friendly materials on the market to date! The cost of the product compared to the time in use, makes it an extremely cost effective product!
- Design & Construction Flexibility: No matter if your project is open-cut, deep or shallow burials, tunnels or a complex alignment, concrete was designed to be molded or fit to meet todays construction challenges!
- Quality Control: Concrete piping has one of the most extensive quality control testing done in the industry that deals with drainage and piping.
- Sustainability: Engineering firms consider concrete piping to be one of the best performing as expected products to ensure a sustainable buried infrastructure!
Reinforced Round Concrete Pipe
Reinforced round concrete pipe (RPC) is available in different sizes. No matter if you need a smaller size pipe such as a 12" or a much larger pipe such as the 96", we have you covered and we carry it in different class design types. We are also open to custom designs for those special situations we sometimes run into for our projects. Our Reinforced Round Concrete Pipe is also available in different wall thicknesses. Contact us today if you have any questions about your concrete piping needs.
Reinforced Arched Concrete Pipe
Reinforced Arched Concrete Pipe (Arch) is usually in stock from 15" to 72" in all of the appropriate classes. We also do special designs for any project. Reinforced Arched Concrete Pipe is sometimes used in cases where additional flow is required to possibly take the place of multiple regular Reinforced Round Concrete pipes. Reinforced Arched Concrete Pipe is usually a little more expensive than regular Reinforced Round Concrete Piping, but may be more cost effective is replacing multiple regular round concrete pipes as we mentioned before.
