Join America’s concrete pipe industry in celebration August 18 to 24

The American Concrete Pipe Association invites you to celebrate Concrete Pipe Week with us.

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 partners: Public Work agencies, DOTs, engineering companies, 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.
