Another Stormwater Drainage Pipe Failure
Cecil Connor – ACPA Engineer
Imagine the disruption that a stormwater pipe failure would cause in your neighborhood. Or worse, imagine the disruption a stormwater pipe failure on your property would cause. Concrete pipe is consistently used as a replacement to other failing pipe materials. A more economical solution to replacement would be to choose concrete pipe on the first go-around.
Innovation in RCP
Heather Christensen – Technical Resource Engineer
Innovation is an important aspect of societal growth but some innovations can have unforeseen consequences upon implementation. When it comes to infrastructure, it is critical that innovations are implemented responsibly and with the highest regard to public safety. The concrete pipe industry is a great example of how responsible innovations can fuel steady advancements. Check out ACPA’s innovation webinar for more information on industry innovations!
