PCCP PIPE

PCCP (Pre-stressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe) is a popular pipe for water supply, irrigation, and sewerage projects due to its strength, durability, and extended service life. It is created by combining the toughness of steel with the stiffness of concrete, resulting in a pipe that can bear high internal and external pressures.

A PCCP's structure consists of a thin steel cylinder lined with concrete to provide watertightness. The cylinder is then covered in high-strength pre-stressed steel wire to boost its pressure capacity. Finally, the pipe is coated with a thick layer of concrete or mortar to prevent corrosion and exterior damage.

One of the most significant advantages of PCCP is its ability to transport enormous amounts of water over long distances, making it ideal for bulk water transmission in cities, dams, and irrigation projects. It is also cost-effective in the long run because to its low maintenance requirements and extended lifespan, which can last more than 50 years when correctly installed.

PCCP's sturdy architecture allows it to withstand high internal pressure as well as severe external loads like soil or vehicles. This makes it a dependable option for large-scale infrastructure projects around the world.
