Current weather patterns across many parts of the country are requiring communities to prepare for frequent and severe weather events. To protect communities from floods that can wash out roads and damage other infrastructure, community leaders are investing in storm water infrastructure that can withstand many natural and man-made disasters and quickly return to service after events that overwhelm or damage the system.
Concrete pipe is a rigid material that offers unmatched durability and resilience for storm water management systems. It continues to strengthen with time, and unlike alternative materials, concrete pipe will not burn, corrode prematurely, or collapse under loads.
Reinforced concrete pipe can be manufactured in larger diameters than other materials, such as PVC, HDPE, and metal, offering greater flow capacity to reduce flooding. Unlike flexible materials, concrete pipe serves as both a conduit and a structure and can be installed without additional support infrastructure.
In the event of a flood, the weight of concrete pipe helps it resist floatation and displacement by fast-moving water. After flood waters recede, infrastructure can often be quickly rebuilt using the original concrete pipes.
County Materials manufactures and delivers large diameter round and elliptical reinforced concrete pipes to communities around the Midwest. In the event of a flood, our skilled drivers and dispatchers can coordinate and execute product deliveries within hours to help repair damaged infrastructure.
