Solution: Elliptical reinforced concrete pipe delivers enhanced flow capacity within restrictive site conditions, ensuring reliable stormwater management for a new high school tennis complex.
Reinforced Concrete Pipe Chosen for its Efficient Design, Long-Term Reliability
When Elk River High School expanded with a new tennis complex, site elevation requirements and excavation restrictions limited the available depth for stormwater conveyance. Contractors needed a dependable solution that could maintain flow capacity despite these challenges.
County Materials supplied elliptical reinforced concrete pipe, specified for its unmatched strength and adaptability. Designed for projects with height or width limitations, elliptical pipe accommodates higher flow rates at shallower depths, optimizing stormwater performance while meeting site constraints.
Concrete pipe provides unmatched resilience in challenging environments, resisting flotation, rust, or tearing throughout a service life of 100 years or more. Manufactured with abundant natural resources and recycled content, reinforced concrete pipe delivers a sustainable and cost-effective stormwater solution.
County Materials’ Roberts, WI, facility provided over 200 LF of elliptical pipe, along with large outlets and manhole components. Readily available products and timely delivery helped keep the construction schedule on track.
Project Highlights:
This project showcases how elliptical reinforced concrete pipe can overcome restrictive site conditions while delivering long-term performance. The installation demonstrates the strength and proven reliability of County Materials’ concrete pipe and precast solutions.
