"HardiePipe™ concrete pipes were the natural choice" says Steven. "With the 4m length pipes we were able to complete the stormwater drainage much faster."

Rubber Ring Joint
Safety Crates Today the Smart thinking is towards modern concrete pipe design and construction. At the forefront of this new technology is the groundbreaking range of HardiePipe™ concrete pipes and fittings.
As a result of our ongoing research and development the Hardiepipe™ product range has revolutionised modern construction practices. Light, long, adaptable and strong features enable speed of construction efficiencies that deliver real cost benefits.
Longer Lengths
Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes are manufactured in standard 4m lengths, as opposed to the standard 2.44m lengths of SRC pipes. The longer lengths of Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes reduce the number of laying operations during pipeline installation, which allows faster laying and significant savings. This is demonstrated in a straight 100m run which would require only 25 lengths of Hardiepipe™ concrete pipe instead of 40 lengths of SRC pipe.
Smart
Versatile – The Smart range of HardiePipe™ bends, junctions and reducers avoid unnecessary pits saving you time and money. Use our saddle connectors to join smaller PVC pipes directly into Hardiepipe™ wherever you want.
Safe
• Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes are delivered, stacked and packed in safety crates
• Store large quantities of pipe in a limited space
• Easy and quick movement and handling
Durable
As Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes do not contain steel, the risk of steel corrosion is not present. The autoclaved chemical structure ensures good resistance to saltwater and acidic soil attack, making it ideal for saltwater or marine applications.
Lightweight Composition
At about half the weight per metre of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) pipe, the inherent ‘Strong, Light and Long’ features of Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes translate to:
• Easier handling,
• Cost effective, easy transportation; and
• Efficient installation.
Strong
Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes meet and exceed the strength capacity required by AS3725:2007 – Design for installation of buried concrete pipes. The impressive long-term capabilities of Hardiepipe™ concrete pipes is attributed in part to their unique deflection capability, and its ability to gain extra load capacity by engaging support from the surrounding soil in which it is buried.
