Description: Precast reinforced concrete box culverts may be cast using either a wet cast or a dry cast method of concrete placement. In the dry cast method of production, there are certain key parameters that impact production quality, including form vibration, reinforcement configuration, cage positioning spacer placement, and concrete mix design properties.
Pipe School is the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA)’s annual event where members, DOTs, consulting engineers, subject matter experts, and other industry personnel get together to discuss, learn, and engage with one another. The school advances the industry by teaching classes on production, advanced production, and quality, while engaging with industry stakeholders to ensure that they are provided with information vital to their decision making process.
