Join America’s concrete pipe industry in celebration August 19 to 25
The American Concrete Pipe Association is celebrating Concrete Pipe Week, by requesting state Governors to recognize Concrete Pipe Week across America with proclamations from their states.
Thirty states representing nearly 75 percent of the U.S. population issued proclamations recognizing Concrete Pipe Week in 2017. In 2016, 26 states representing 64 percent of the U.S. population issued proclamations. The event launched in 2015 generated proclamations in 11 states that year, accounting for about one-quarter of the U.S. population. It is clear that Concrete Pipe Week has traction in industry and government. Let’s work to make Concrete Pipe Week 2018 the best ever.
During Concrete Pipe Week, producers host plant tours, employee appreciation events, and engage federal, state and local elected officials in discussions about product quality, performance and resilience as they relate to storm and sanitary sewer infrastructure, culverts and small precast bridges. Proclamations underscore the indisputable contributions that producers, their team members and their customers make to the economy and environment.
Concrete Pipe Week recognizes the significance that the reinforced concrete pipe and precast industry has in community quality of life, and affirms the contributions of the concrete pipe and precast industry to each State and Province. Concrete Pipe Week is a time to recognize the contributions of ACPA’s associate members; steel producers, form producers, casting producers, the trucking industry, sand and rock producers, cement producers, contractors, academia, and everyone associated with the buried infrastructure industry and the products this industry requires.
