An RCP is only as good as the joints that hold it in place. Rest assured, our pipe joints can be manufactured to provide soil-tight tongue-and-groove or water-tight joints—and are designed to accommodate deflection or longitudinal movement with strength to handle shear or vertical movement. Our precast concrete products are cast in a factory setting. Highly controlled and under rigid production standards, our testing specifications meet or exceed all federal, state and local standards, including the following ASTM and ASSHTO specifications.
Simply put, these bad boys stand the test of time. Get your one-minute update on the latest trends, innovations and solutions you need to know about in the water, wastewater, and stormwater industry. Phone Number. You can unsubscribe anytime. Toggle navigation.

This supporting structure is built in the field. In contrast, the RCP pipe is a structure in its own right. However, if we factor in the actual cost of installation, including using different installation procedures and constructing the structural bedding envelope material, then the picture changes.
Add to this the life-cycle costs, and it becomes even more clear. Many of the buildings, bridges, and viaducts that were created more than a century ago are still standing today. Concrete pipes that were installed many decades ago still carry our water and wastewater.
These structures are all monuments to the strength and longevity of the technology. And when you open a faucet or flush a toilet, give a thought to the unseen network of concrete pipes that makes it possible for us to take such modern conveniences for granted!
