Projects with Depth Restrictions Rely on Elliptical Reinforced Concrete Pipe

Apr 4, 2022

County Materials’ Reinforced Concrete Pipe is a resilient material that requires minimal maintenance throughout is extended service life of 100 years or more. Concrete pipe is the preferred choice for storm water systems across the country. 

County Materials’ Elliptical Reinforced Concrete Pipe proves ideal for projects with height or width requirements. Horizontal and vertical elliptical options are available to meet project needs. Elliptical pipe allows higher flow capacities at shallower depths and optimizes water flow. Installed at shallow depths, elliptical concrete pipe’s rigid and durable fabrication resists flotation and protects communities during rain events. 

Elk River High School updated their storm water management system when building a new tennis complex. Due to elevation requirements and excavation restrictions, there was a restrictive depth limit for the new system. County Materials’ Elliptical Reinforced Concrete Pipe was selected to achieve greater flow capacity at a shallower depth. County Materials manufactured and delivered more than 200 LF of elliptical pipe to update the storm water management system at the high school.
