Arch pipe serves to handle maximum flow in a culvert where traditional round pipe can’t fit. Arch pipe (a.k.a. “squash pipe”) has been “squashed” into a lower, wider configuration, but with the same capacity as round pipe. For example, a Helical or Riveted 66” round steel pipe has an equivalent pipe-arch with a 77 inch span and a rise of 52 inches.
The squashing enables the pipe to handle the same amount of GPM in the small, unforgiving space. With arch pipe, flow isn’t disrupted, and the necessary amount of cover can still be laid for structural integrity.
Choose from round or arch shapes in a range of wall thicknesses, coatings, and lengths. A variety of corrugations are also available in order to meet H20 & E80 live loads. Ask about options for smooth interior pipe too. 317-346-4110.
