Flexibility in Design and Construction
Some projects have design elements that are a little more complex or intricate than others. Precast concrete pipe provides solutions for these projects, whether they are open-cut, deep burials, tunnels, trenchless, shallow burials, or with vertical structures or complex alignment changes. Concrete pipe design is simple to do; the math is sound and easily definable.
Precast concrete pipe gives you strength and flexibility to ensure the success of your most demanding applications. Pipes are manufactured with a variety of sizes, shapes, joints and seal options. There is also an array of linings and coatings that can handle the most aggressive environment.
The main attributes of concrete pipe apply to sanitary, storm sewers and culverts. Many attributes also may be applied to box sections used for storm drainage, roadway culverts, tunnels, bridges, and underground detention systems. Concrete pipe and box sections accommodate great volumes of effluent in a tiny footprint.
Concrete pipe produced in the early twenty-first century is a consequence of:
1. Computer aided design and analysis
2. Advanced concrete mix designs
3. Automated and computer controlled batching
4. Precision fabricated wire reinforcement
5. Quality driven manufacturing techniques
6. Improved water tight joints
7. New installation standards
Precast concrete box sections also have similar advantages to concrete pipe:
1. Better quality control than flexible pipe products
2. Ease of installation
3. The dangers associated with open trenches are reduced
4. Reduced environmental impacts
5. Detour time is reduced
6. Design time is reduced
7. Just-in-time delivery is available from producers’ plants to accommodate small construction sites and tight construction schedules
8.Crews familiar with concrete pipe installation procedures can install box sections with minimal training
9. Mortar Joint.
