Hume Pipes

The RCC Hume pipe (reinforced concrete cement pipes) is also referred to as Precast concrete pipe. It has several applications and hence is widely used for the purpose of sewage, stormwater drainage, as well as culverts. The reason why they are so useful is that they are not affected by environmental factors, they do not rust, bend, burn and the fact that they have a durable structure, allows for the flow of high amounts of water and are cost-effective.
