Long-lasting, easily installed Circular Reinforced Concrete Pipe is the right choice for applications where:
 |
The required size is larger than available unreinforced pipe |
|
Low, moderate or severe cover and/or live load conditions exist |
|
Structural failure might endanger life or property — reinforced pipe does not collapse or lose its shape even after ultimate failure |
|
Internal hydrostatic pressures (up to 65 psi) are expected |
|
Trenchless installation is required |
