Concrete Pipe Meets Precise Specifications

Written by Admin | Apr 26, 2024

When designing stormwater and wastewater management systems, a key consideration is joint performance of materials.  For example, joint performance of the connection between two sections of pipe is specified based on the type of system. Reinforced concrete pipe is a time-tested solution, offering multiple joint designs to meet different specifications and applications.

Several joint assembly options are available with RCP manufactured by County Materials, including prelubricated profile gasket assembly and standard profile gasket assembly meeting ASTM C443 and a joint with preformed flexible joint sealant meeting ASTM C990.

Our reinforced concrete pipe should be assembled following approved specifications, which may vary by state and administering authority. Additional information and resources on assembly can be obtained from the American Concrete Pipe Association at concretepipe.org.

County Materials manufactures concrete pipe and precast structures to precise specifications and applicable ASTM standards by performing rigorous quality control and testing prior to leaving our facilities.
