Uses
Reinforced Concrete Pipe is the most durable and economical of all piping
products. Recommended for installations where:
- Low, moderate or severe cover and/or live load conditions exist.
- Structural failure might endanger life or property. (Reinforced pipe, even after
ultimate failure, retains its shape and will not collapse.)
Sizes
Reinforced Concrete Pipe is readily available in round diameters of 12"
through 144" and elliptical sizes equivalent to 18" to 60" pipe.
Description
Precast concrete pipe is the standard by which all drainage pipe materials are
measured. Despite competitive hype — structural integrity, proven durability,
and continued "least risk" designs are the major reasons why design
engineers continue to choose concrete pipe over flexible pipe materials for
"sustainable design" of their drainage projects.
