Reinforced precast concrete pipes have been made in Australia for over 100 years. Technological advances have made precast concrete pipes more reliable than ever before, with the use of concrete mixes and pipe design that result in products that can withstand a complete range of underground environments and effluent profiles.
Precast pipes are available in a wide range of diameters, lengths and with varying strengths. This design flexibility means that the pipes can be made to suit the location’s requirements and can be designed for specific needs (such as to minimise chloride penetration). With a long life (of over 100 years), precast concrete pipes offer the most durable pipe solution.
