RCC PIPE

Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) pipes, also known as Hume pipes, are heavy-duty cylindrical conduits made of cement, aggregates (such as sand or gravel), and embedded steel reinforcement. This design blends concrete's compressive strength with steel's tensile resilience, resulting in a sturdy and lasting structure appropriate for high-load applications.

Centrifugal spinning (where the mould is rapidly rotated, compacting the concrete around a steel cage) and vibration (a vertical dry-cast method that uses vibrators to compact the mix) are the most common manufacturing methods. These pipes are created in several grades based on the load requirements—NP2 (light-duty) for low-traffic irrigation and drainage, NP3 (medium-duty) for roads and urban sewers, and NP4 (heavy-duty) for highways, industrial zones, and major drainage systems.

​RCC pipes, which range in diameter from 150 mm to over 2,200 mm, have outstanding durability and corrosion resistance, are leak-resistant with good jointing, and are cost-effective over a 50-100-year service life.
