Reinforced Concrete Non-Cylinder Pipe (AWWA C302)
Introduced in the early 1900s, Reinforced Concrete Non-Cylinder pipe (RCNP) is suitable for working pressures up to 380kPa (55psi).
Reinforced Concrete Non-Cylinder pipe (C302) is manufactured in accordance with the AWWA C302 standard and is designed in accordance with the AWWA Manual M9. C302 pipe is manufactured using one or more reinforcing cages (depending on diameter and depth of bury) and steel joint rings complete with steel skirts. The steel cage(s) assembly is encased in cement rich concrete using a vertical cast process. The concrete encasement creates a passivating alkaline environment that protects the steel components from corrosion for the life of the product.
Size: In diameters from 900mm to 3600mm in std lengths of 4.877m or 6.096m

ASSOCIATIONS
Forterra Pipe & Precast are proud members of the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPPA). Founded in 1949, the American Concrete Pressure Pipe Association (ACPPA) is a nonprofit trade association representing manufacturers of concrete pressure pipe around the world. ACPPA sponsors research projects and conducts educational programs to promote and advance the use of concrete pressure pipe in water and wastewater applications.
ACPPA manages an independent audit program to certify compliance with all applicable AWWA standards for the design and manufacture of concrete pressure pipe. The ACPPA Compliance Audit and Certification Program, administered by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), is much more than an observation of the final product.
