Machine-pressed reinforced concrete pipe.
Made for storm drainage, culverts, road crossings and subdivision drainage lines — the buried work nobody sees until it fails.
What you are buying.
A reinforced concrete pipe is a length of concrete cast around a steel cage. The steel takes the tension, the concrete takes the compression, and together they carry the earth load and the traffic above once the trench is backfilled.
Ours are machine-pressed: the mix is compacted mechanically inside the mould instead of being poured and rodded by hand. That is the difference between a pipe that happens to be the right size and a pipe that is the right size every time.
- Storm drainage and subdivision drainage lines
- Road crossings and culverts
- Site development and land development packages
- Any works where pipe has to be buried and forgotten
Four steps, in this order.
Nothing here is exotic. It is the same sequence every day, which is exactly the point — consistency is the product.
Cage
The steel reinforcement cage is formed and set inside the mould before any concrete goes in.
Press
Concrete is fed in and compacted mechanically against the mould wall, giving a dense body and an even wall.
Cure
The pipe is demoulded and cured in the yard until it has gained the strength to be handled and hauled.
Check & stack
Finished pipe is inspected, then stacked in rows ready for the next order.
What we need to quote you.
Sizes and stock move week to week, so rather than publish a list that goes stale, we quote against your actual requirement. Send these five things and you will get a price and a date back.
| Diameter | Internal diameter called for on the drawings or in the bill of quantities. |
|---|---|
| Quantity | Number of pieces, or total linear metres of line to be laid. |
| Delivery date | When it has to be on site — and whether it can arrive in batches. |
| Site location | Where we are hauling to, so we can price the delivery properly. |
| Site access | Whether a trailer can get in, and whether you have equipment to unload. |
Working to a specific class or standard? Tell us in the enquiry and we will confirm what we can supply before you commit to anything.
Before you order.
If yours is not here, call the yard. You will get an answer from someone who knows what is on the ground.
Do you deliver, or do we collect?
Both. We load onto your truck at the yard, or we haul to your site on flatbed or boom truck. Tell us the location and the access and we will price the delivery with the pipe.
How much notice do you need for a bulk order?
It depends on the size and how much is already cured in the yard. Call with your quantity and date and we will tell you honestly what can come from stock and what has to be produced.
Can you supply for a whole subdivision drainage package?
Yes — that is most of what we do. We schedule production and deliveries against your programme so the pipe arrives as the trenching progresses, not all at once in the way.
How do we unload at site?
If you have a boom truck or backhoe on site, unloading is straightforward. If you do not, say so when you enquire so we can arrange a truck that can lift its own load.
Do you supply anything other than pipe?
Pipe is our business and where our capacity goes. If your package needs something adjacent to it, ask and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
Ready when your trench is.
Send the diameter, the quantity and the date. We will confirm availability and get you a price.
