CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE PIPE  -  HISTORY

•  The earliest use of cast-in-place concrete pipe was in 1922 by Turlock Irrigation District to replace open irrigation laterals.  Nearby districts developed similar replacement programs.

• The first pipelines were constructed with flat bottoms, short vertical sides are arched tops formed by wooden planks.  This process was replaced by a two step procedure that produced a circular pipe.  The top half was constructed after the bottom half.  All of the early procedures created undesirable cold joints along the pipe.

• Development work began in 1949 on a machine that would construct the entire pipe circumference in one step.  By the late 1950s, cast-in-place concrete pipe was already in use throughout the southwestern United States.

• More than a half million lineal feet were installed throughout California in 1990 only

• Currently CIPCP is being used for storm drains and irrigation by numerous city, county, state and federal agencies throughout the Western U.S.

• Blucor has been laying cast-in-place concrete pipe for over a decade in Arizona, Nevada, and throughout the Southwest
