RCC Hume Pipes

Cement pipes, or RCC pipes, are used in many infrastructure and building projects. These pipes’ construction involves combining reinforcing steel bars with gravel, sand, and cement. The result is a robust and long-lasting pipe that is corrosion- and wear-resistant, making it the perfect option for various uses.

During construction, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) hume pipes are utilized for irrigation, culverts, wastewater, and water drainage, among many other uses. RCC pipes are preferred because they are long-lasting, non-reactive to toxins in the sewer system, leak-proof, easily repairable, and possess high tensile strength.

For more than 50–100 years, RCC hume pipes are durable. Most people choose it since it is designed for “fit-and-forget” solutions.

Applications of RCC hume pipes: 

• Drainage system:
  To channel stormwater and wastewater, RCC hume pipes are commonly utilized in drainage systems. They can withstand all types of weather and are strong and impermeable.
• Culverts:
  These pipes are used to provide spaces beneath roads and railroads for rivers, streams, and other waterways. In addition to being able to accommodate varying flow rates, they are robust enough to bear the weight of traffic.
• Sewers:
  Since RCC hume pipes are resistant to chemicals and corrosion, they are a preferred choice for sewage systems. Both installing and maintaining these are simple.
• Irrigation:
  In agricultural settings, these pipes can also be utilized to transmit water for irrigation. They are robust and economical.
• Cable ducts:
  In addition, subterranean cables, fiber optic cables, and other services are housed and protected by hume pipes.
• Tunneling:
  In order to provide structural support and defense against water intrusion, RCC hume pipes are also utilized as temporary permanent liners in tunnels.
• Marine applications:
  These pipes are also utilized in maritime conditions for applications such as seawalls, breakwaters, and pilings because of their resistance to corrosion.
