Concrete Pipes

Concrete pipes transport water, sewage, and other materials from one place to another. They are made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregate (sand, gravel, and/or crushed stone). The concrete is poured into a mould or form and allowed to harden. Once the concrete has set, the pipe is ready to be used.

Types of Concrete Pipes

Here are some common types of concrete pipes.

Reinforced concrete pipes

Reinforced concrete pipes are made with steel reinforcement bars (rebar) embedded in the concrete. This type of pipe is solid and durable, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-flow applications. 

Unreinforced concrete pipes

Unreinforced concrete pipes are made without steel reinforcement bars. This type of pipe is not as strong or durable as reinforced concrete pipes and is not recommended for high-pressure or high-flow applications.

Prestressed concrete pipes

Prestressed concrete pipes are made with steel cables or wires embedded in the concrete and placed under tension.

Types of Concrete by Curing Location

Precast concrete

Precast concrete is a construction product made by casting concrete in a reusable mould or form, which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site, and lifted into place.

It is more durable, has higher compressive strength, is more resistant to weathering, and is easier to install. In addition, precast concrete products can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes to meet the specific needs of the construction project.

Standard concrete

In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on-site.

Infrastructure Associated with Concrete Pipes

Concrete pits

Concrete pits play a vital role in our stormwater management systems. They help to collect and store rainwater, which can then be used for irrigation or other purposes. Concrete pits are also used to store sewage and even hazardous materials.

Stormwater Pipes

Stormwater pipes are designed to collect and transport rainwater and runoff from storms. They are an essential part of our urban infrastructure; without them, our cities would be flooded every time it rains. They are made from various materials, including concrete, plastic, and metal.

Galvanised steel

Galvanised steel is steel that has been hot-dip coated with a layer of zinc. This protects the steel from corrosion and provides a durable, long-lasting finish. It is often used in the construction industry for structural applications and is also a popular choice for fences, gutters, and other architectural features.
