Why Concrete Pipe

The world we live in today does not happen by accident. It takes an infrastructure you can trust. An infrastructure that you can count on in the best of times and in the worst of times. An infrastructure that is not built upon flimsy promises but one that is built upon centuries of engineered strength, proven resilience, and undeniable sustainability. It is an infrastructure built on concrete pipe.

Concrete pipe is built on engineered strength. Made of naturally sourced materials and enhanced through reinforced steel and engineering principles, concrete pipe is unequivocally the strongest stormwater drainage product on the market.

Concrete pipe's resilience is proven. Through centuries of enduring disasters, the resilience of concrete pipe is undeniable. As a non-combustible material, it guarantees performance during wildfires and in other fire-prone areas. Concrete's inherent density makes it resistant to flotation during heavy rainfalls and floods. Its ability to absorb shocks and sustain minimal damage from impacts makes it ideal in earthquake-prone regions.

Concrete pipe is undeniably sustainable. Produced from natural, locally sourced, and recycled materials, it supports local economies and is a champion of the circular economy by boasting minimal waste and its enduring longevity. Its ability to withstand and recover from natural disasters minimizes its need for replacement or repair. With a proven 100+ year lifespan, concrete pipe ensures it will serve current and future generations while minimizing waste, resources, and future spending.

Concrete pipes have been in existence for over 150 years with many of them still in their original installations. Innovations, research, and improved installation processes ensure that current and future concrete pipe and box culvert installations will remain installed for centuries to come.

Concrete pipe is the only choice given its unmatched strength, resilience, and sustainability. It is the infrastructure that you can trust. It is what makes infrastructure strong, resilient, and sustainable.

The ACPA's logo, otherwise known as the 'roundel,' is more than just another logo. It was created with the core of concrete pipe in mind.

Droplet
The droplet personifies the water conveyed by the concrete pipe and box culverts.

Circle
The continuous circle indicates the products resilience, sustainability, and communities it helps build.

Triangle
The triangle represents the strength of our products, which are unmatched by any other product in the market.

Together, along with the three natural colors represented, combine to create the ACPA's roundel. A logo as bold and as strong as the products it represents.
