"Fires such as the Camp Fire are a somber reminder of the need for resilient infrastructure, especially when it comes to keeping roadways undamaged during evacuations. As society faces threats from both natural and manmade disasters, it's vitally important for engineers everywhere to carefully plan fire-resilient infrastructure to help ensure safety and future existence of their communities." (2018 Camp Fire – Reminder for Need of Fire-Resilient Infrastructure, American Concrete Pipe Association).
In the face of fires and other natural disasters, concrete pipe has proven to be a resilient, dependable material-of-choice for professional engineers. Unlike alternative materials, concrete pipe will not burn, corrode prematurely, or collapse under loads. Concrete pipe is a reliable and long-lasting construction material that has no substitute.
