1. PRESTRESSED CONCRETE NON CYLINDER PIPES (PSC):

Prestressed Concrete pipes were introduced in the year 2003. It is universally
accepted fact that PSC pipe is an ideal pipe material for water supply and drainage. These
pipes can be designed for external load much more than NP4 class loading.
These pipes are made as per Indian Standard IS: 784: 2001. Till date the company has
laid more than 7000 Kms of pipelines, most of which are giving satisfactory service as on
today. PSC pipes are the best choice for:
Pressure main for water supply, irrigation & sewerage, Recirculation and cooling
water pipelines for Thermal Power, Chemical, Cement, Fertilizer and Refineries etc.
Large diameter inverted siphons, High external load.

Pradesh.

2. BAR WRAPPED STEEL CYLINDER (BWSC) PIPES:
BWSC pipe has been extensively used in USA, Europe and Middle-East countries
for last more than 50 years. These pipes were introduced in India by JHP in 2007. So far
the company has completed 48 projects to an aggregate length of 365 KMs and about 15
projects to an aggregate length of 760 KMs are under execution.
Manufacture of BWSC pipes begins with a fabricated steel cylinder with joint
rings, which is hydraulically tested. A cement mortar lining is placed by the centrifugal
process inside the cylinder. After the lining is cured, the cylinder is wrapped with a
smooth, hot-rolled steel bar, using moderate tension in the bar. The size and spacing of
the bar as well as the thickness of the steel cylinder are proportioned to provide the
26

required pipe strength. The cylinder and bar wrapping are covered with cement slurry and
a dense mortar coating that is rich in cement by JHPs patented high velocity impaction
process.
In fact, BWSC pipe is custom designed and an improved version of Steel pipe with
lining and out coating.

Structural Integrity:
Since bars are helically wrapped under tension, the structural integrity of these
pipes is greatly enhanced because of the interlocking of steel elements of the pipe. This
complete construction greatly increases the rigidity of pipe, beam strength and resistance
to impact.
Corrosion Resistance:
The cement mortar encasement maintains the steel elements in a highly alkaline
environment (pH of 12.5 or greater) in which galvanic corrosion is permanently inhibited.
Under severe conditions, supplemental protection can be provided for any unusual
surrounding conditions.
Stiffness:

27

Stiffness of the pipe is the result of the keying action of the pretension bar wrap
over steel cylinder and the high velocity impaction cement mortar coating. From the
result of Pipe stiffness Vs. Diameter Vs. Type of pipes, it is observed that these pipes are
stiffer than Steel pipes lined and coated with cement mortar, PVC and Ductile Iron Pipes,
resulting in reduction of cost of bedding and side support making it economical.
In view of the popularity this pipe is gaining with Water Supply and Drainage
Departments, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) published Indian Standard IS: 151552002 for the pipe.
Bar Wrapped Steel Cylinder (BWSC) Pipes are more economical to the extent
of 20 to 30% compared to M.S. Pipes with lining and out coating and 25% to 50%
compared to Ductile Iron Pipes.
Product range covers:
Diameter range

250 mm to 1900 mm. Maximum factory test. Pressure:

26kg/cm2.
Length

: 5.2 to 6.5 mtrs. Joint: Overlap welded joint. M.S. Special fittings:

Bends, Tapers, Tees, and Adapters.

3. PRESTRESSED CONCRETE CYLINDER PIPES (PCCP):
PCCP is the most widely used type of concrete pressure pipe in Western countries.
Applications for this product include transmission mains, distribution mains, water intake
and discharge lines, pressure siphons, low-head penstocks, industrial pressure lines
(including power plant cooling-water lines), sewer trunk mains, subaqueous lines (into
both fresh and salt water) and spillway conduits.

Advantages of PCCP over Steel pipes are:

1. Efficient use of steel
PCCP makes optimum use of steel. The composite action of steel cylinder, concrete core
and HT wire results in a saving of about 40% of the total steel in a steel pipe.
2. Usage of local raw materials and minimum usage of steel plates.
3. Manufacturing can be done nearer to site depending upon quantum of job.
4. No need of external painting.
No periodical external painting is required after commissioning; hence maintenance cost
which steel pipe requires is eliminated.
5. External load strength:
Conventional steel pipes can deflect significantly under external loads as those are
flexible pipes. Steel pipes depend upon the soil support on each side to resist horizontal
deflection. To achieve proper compaction special equipments, careful supervision by the
contractor and regular inspection by the owner are very much essential. This will result in
Substantial additional cost compared to Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes which are
rigid.
6. Virtual maintenance free
7. Economically cheaper pipe material

29

Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP) is more economical to the extent of 15 to

40% compared to M.S. Pipes with lining and out coating and 20% to 50% compared to
Ductile Iron Pipes.
Product range covers:
Diameter range : 350 mm to 2500 mm.Factory test pressure: 25kg/cm2 Length:
4 to 6.5 Mtrs. M.S. Special fittings: Bends, Tapers, Tees, Adopters.
4. STEEL PIPES:
The Company started making Steel Pipes in collaboration with Humes of
Australia during the year 1932. The centrifugal concrete lining which is now accepted
throughout the world as a positive anti-corrosive lining was introduced in 2006. These
