 Installation of Reinforced Concrete Pipes

Reinforced concrete pipe, or RCP, is one of the standard materials used in storm sewer systems, sanitation
systems, and large irrigation projects. Reinforced concrete offers high strength and durability at competitive costs
and is the primary alternative to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic pipe in many applications. One benefit
of concrete is its inherent strength, which simplifies installation and backfilling procedures. On the other hand,
RCP is very heavy and must be handled carefully during transportation and installation.

1) Handling Reinforced Concrete Pipe 2) Excavating for Reinforced Concrete Pipe
1. Reinforced concrete pipes must be handled and
moved carefully to prevent damaging the bell (the
wide or flared end of the pipe sections) and the
spigot (the narrow end that is inserted into the bell
of an adjoining pipe).
2. RCP should never be dragged to the site. It is best
if the pipes are unloaded with the use of a nylon
sling or other certified material that can support
the weight of the pipe.
3. The pipe must be balanced precisely in the sling
for safety and to prevent damage.
1. Trenches for RCP should be wide enough to accommodate at
least two pipes.
2. This provides sufficient room to verify the required slope, and
it helps ensure that any subsequent trenching will not impact
the pipe installation or compromise worker safety.
3. The grade (pipe slope) is established during trenching,
followed by laying down a bedding material.
4. The bedding should be free of debris and must provide a
uniformly level surface.
5. When setting RCP into the trench prior to installation, the
pipes should not be supported on their bells, as this can
damage them.
 3) Preparing Joining Surfaces of RCP
1. Just before installation, each RCP section is
cleaned to remove all dirt from the pipe's bell.
2. If the surface is not properly cleaned, it may prevent
proper homing of the pipe.
3. After cleaning, workers apply a lubricant to the
pipe bell, using a brush or gloves.
4. Lubricant should be sufficient to prevent the gasket
from rolling away and damaging the bell end.
5. Next, the spigot or tongue end of the adjoining
pipe is also cleaned and lubricated to ensure a good
seal with the joint gasket.
4) Installing RCP
1. Installing each section of RCP requires at least two
workers to manage the pipe.
2. The large pipe is lowered into the trench with a crane
or backhoe, while the workers guide the pipe section
into place.
3. The smaller pipe may be set by hand. Typically, the
spigot end of the new pipe is inserted into the bell of
the pipe at the end of the installed pipeline, then the
new section is pushed into place with a crowbar, pipe
pullers, or other means.
4. Some RCP must have its bell gasket stretched, using
a rounding device. The device is passed several times
along the circumference of the gasket to make sure
everything is in place. If the gasket is not stretched,
the pipe could leak at the joint or the bell can crack.
5. Once the new section is fully seated, workers make
sure it is properly aligned, using surveying or leveling
instruments.
 5) Backfilling Reinforced Concrete Pipe
1. The final step of installing RCP is to add backfill material and compact it
thoroughly. The backfill material is placed evenly in lifts on both sides of the
pipe until the trench is filled about one foot above the top of the pipe.
2. It is important that the material is not be bulldozed into the trench or
dropped directly onto the pipe. The backfill material must not contain large
boulders, which do not compact and could damage the pipe. The material
also should be free of roots and other organic material.
3. Once the pipe is adequately backfilled and compacted, the trench can be
filled up to grade, per the project specifications.
4. At any stage during the backfilling process, heavy construction equipment
should not drive over the pipe until adequate backfill is in place or the pipe is
deep enough that it will not be damaged.

 ADVANTAGES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE

1. FIRE AND WEATHER RESISTANT

2. IT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED OF ANY DESIRED STRENGTH BY PROPER
MIX DESIGN, THICKNESS AND REINFORCEMENT.
3. EASILY CAST IN SITU WITH THE HELP OF SPECIAL FORM WORK
4. THESE PIPES CAN WITHSTAND BOTH TENSILE STRESSES (DUE TO
INTERNAL PRESSURE) AS WELL AS COMPRESSIVE STRESSES ( DUE
TO EXTERNAL PRESSURE)
5. THEY ARE ECONOMICAL HENCE USED FOR EVERY TYPE OF
SEWERS
6. SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPE OF WATER
7. DURAIABLE
8. MUCH BETTER THAN M.S. PIPE OR METAL PIPE IN COST, THE COST
OF PIPE AS LOW AS COMPARED TO M.S. PIPE
9. ANTI RUSTING COMPARED TO METAL PIPE (IN METAL PIPE MORE
CHANCES OF RUSTING)
10. IT IS SUITABLE AND USEFUL IN ANY SOFT SOIL
 DISADVANTAGES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE

1. THE MAIN DISADVANTAGE IS THAT CONCRETE PIPES ARE EASILY

CORRODED AT THE CROWN BECAUSE BACTERIAS DECOMPOSE
ORGANIC MATTER PRESENT IN SEWAGE, HENCE RELEASE HYDROGEN
SULPHIDE (H2S) GAS WHICH THEN IN PRESENCE OF MOISTURE
CONVERTS TO SULPHURIC ACID, THIS ACID THEN CREATE SMALL
HOLES OR PATCHES WHICH MAY RESULT IN CORROSION. SUCH
CORROSION IS CALLED AS CROWN CORROSION.
2. THEY ARE HEAVY.
3. TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION COST IS HIGHER
4. CORROSION BY SULPHATE DUE TO OUTSIDE SULPHATE WATER.
5. RCC PIPE DIFFICULT TO SHIFTING, MOSTLY USED HEAVY EQUIPMENTS/
MACHINERY IN SHIFTING PROCESS
6. THOUGH FOR HANDLING AND LAYING PROCESS IN HARD MURUM AND
ROCK AS WELL AS IN DEPTH, IT TAKES TO MUCH TIME FOR ABJECT
LEVEL AND JOINTS.
 USES
Home » Uses
RCC Hume Pipes (Also known as Spun Pipes) are used for sewerage, drainage, culverts,irrigation,water supply /
transportation,service lines etc.
According to BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS concrete pipes shall be classified as under:

NP2 :- Reinforced Concrete Non-Pressure Pipes

Used For :- Light-duty drainage and irrigation/water transportation use, cross drains/culverts carrying light traffic.

NP3 :- Reinforced Concrete Non-Pressure Pipes

Used For :- Medium-duty drainage and irrigation/water transportation use,service lines, cross drains/culverts carrying
medium traffic

Np4 :- Reinforced Concrete Non-Pressure Pipes

Used For :- Heavy-duty drainage and irrigation/water transportation use, cross drains/culverts carrying heavy traffic

NP3 & NP4 Class pipes are able to withstand heavy loads. The precisely controlled socket and spigot joints totally
eliminate the possibility of leaky joints, thus avoiding possibility of mixing sewage with groundwater and contamination
of it.

Spigot and socket ended pipes shall be used for water mains, sewer, irrigation and culverts/cross drains Flush jointed (NP3
and NP4) and collar Jointed (NP2) pipes shall be used for culverts/cross drains.
