RCP’s rigid structure allows it to maintain its shape and integrity under soil and traffic loads, providing stable and reliable performance in various installations.
RCP is a cost-effective solution for many infrastructure projects and has a long service life with a typical lifespan of 50 years.
RCP is available in multiple diameters and lengths making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.
RCP is made from natural and abundant materials, such as cement, water, and aggregate, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to some other pipe materials.
Due to its durability and minimal maintenance over its lifespan, RCP has low long-term costs for upkeep and replacement.
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) marries the best features of concrete and steel, with the concrete pipe managing compressive forces while the steel cages provide tensile strength. RCP has a proven long service life and offers resiliency and sustainability that make it a classic choice for water transmission, sanitary sewer systems, and storm drainage. Its high-load capacity supports both dead loads and live loads above.
RCP is available in many sizes and strengths, making it suitable for different project requirements. ParkUSA manufactures RCP to ASTM standards in 12” to 44” outer diameter in lengths of 4’, 6’ and 12’ to 24’.
RCP is commonly used in various civil, infrastructure, irrigation, and construction projects. It is a rigid pipe made of precast concrete reinforced with wire mesh and provides long-lasting strength and durability. RCP is a bell and spigot pipe design, with an extended bell-shape on one end of the pipe that overlap around the spigot end of the pipe.
RCP is most often used for conveyance and is typically installed underground to form a network of pipes that collect stormwater runoff from streets, parking lots, rooftops, and other impervious surfaces. This network effectively channels the stormwater to designated outlets, such as detention basins, retention ponds, or natural water bodies.
RCP is known for its durability and long service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement, and providing a cost-effective solution for stormwater management.
RCP is used in stormwater and wastewater conveyance systems to collect, transport, and discharge runoff effectively and safely.
RCP is used for culverts, bridges, drainage systems, and other infrastructure to control runoff and prevent flooding.
RCP is used for sewer mains, force mains, and other infrastructure to transport and manage wastewater.
Ideal for below grade or at surface installation, RCP is commonly used in irrigation and agriculture projects.
Its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and abrasion make it a reliable choice for these sewer systems.
RCP is often used as the conveyance component in culverts and drainage systems. The durable pipe is available in different sizes and strengths to meet the specific requirements of each project.
