Lined Concrete Pipe and Lined RCP Pipe
Critical Solutions for Infrastructure Protection
In the construction of underground infrastructure, lined concrete pipe and lined reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) have become essential components for industries seeking longevity and durability in their piping systems. Engineered Containment provides advanced lining solutions for concrete pipe and RCP, addressing the challenges posed by harsh environmental conditions and corrosive substances.
Lined RCP Pipe: Reinforcing Durability:
Reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) is known for its structural strength, making it a preferred choice for projects requiring pipes capable of withstanding significant loads, such as roadways, railways, and high-traffic zones. However, when these pipes are exposed to aggressive environments, unlined RCP can deteriorate over time, leading to costly repairs and infrastructure failure.
Lined RCP pipe combines the load-bearing capabilities of reinforced concrete with the protection of corrosion-resistant liners, creating a durable and long-lasting solution. This pipe system is ideal for:
Sewer Systems: Lined RCP prevents the degradation of pipes exposed to raw sewage and industrial waste.
Culverts: For areas subject to constant water flow, lined RCP offers added protection against abrasion and chemical wear.
Storm Drains: In applications where corrosive road salts or runoff might degrade unlined concrete, lined RCP ensures a longer service life.
Choosing the Right Lining Material
Selecting the appropriate liner material is a critical aspect of designing an effective lined concrete pipe or RCP system. Our team of experts will assess the environmental conditions of your project to recommend the best liner, whether it’s HDPE for chemical resistance, PP for high temperatures, or other, less common alternatives.
