CSP has gained popularity due to its ability to withstand the pressure from heavy traffic and unstable foundations that cause other construction materials to deteriorate quickly. CSP's strength and integrity make it a popular choice for large-scale construction projects such as culverts, storm sewers, spillways, subdrains, underpasses, conveyer conduits, service tunnels, detention chambers, and recharge systems. CSP is available in various shapes and sizes to fit different drainage, sewer, and transportation needs.
The standard round pipe size varies from 6 inches to 26 feet (8 meters to 150 millimeters), with larger sizes available. Pipe arches, long span structural plate arches, and box culverts come in an array of rises and spans. Pipe arches can be used with or without stiffeners for spans of 80 feet (25 meters) and 110 feet (33.5 meters), respectively.
CSP's durability is not only limited to its ability to withstand pressure from external forces. Research has also shown that it provides outstanding soil-side durability, making it an ideal choice for environments with harsh weather conditions. With proper coating and/or invert paving, CSP can provide a service life of 50-100 years for a wide range of applications.
One of the benefits of CSP is that it is easily fabricated to exact specifications. This feature makes it a preferred choice for custom pipe applications where unique sizes are required, such as in environmental or industrial settings. Additionally, CSP's maintenance costs can be effectively controlled due to its modern structural and durability design criteria.
In summary, the benefits of CSP in building construction are numerous.
