RCC Hume concrete pipes

RCC Hume Pipes - NP2 & NP3 Concrete Pipes

Also searched for as cement pipe, RCC pipe or "dhal ko pipe" - spun reinforced-concrete pipes manufactured in Ratnanagar, Chitwan, from 150mm to 1200mm diameter for drainage, culverts, sewerage and irrigation.

What is an RCC Hume Pipe

Reinforced concrete, compacted by spinning.

RCC stands for Reinforced Cement Concrete. A Hume pipe (also called a spun pipe) is manufactured by placing a steel reinforcement cage inside a mould and spinning it at high speed while concrete is added - centrifugal force compacts the concrete evenly against the mould wall, producing a dense, uniform pipe wall. In Nepal, the same product is informally referred to by different names - cement pipe, RCC pipe, or "dhal ko pipe" - but the underlying specification depends on class, diameter, reinforcement and the applicable standard.

Pipe Classes

NP2 & NP3

NP2

The lighter-duty class, suited to gravity drainage, irrigation lines and applications without heavy surface traffic loading.

Duty · Light / medium
Typical use · Drainage, irrigation

NP3

The medium-duty class, with higher reinforcement, used under roads and in culverts where traffic and surcharge loads are higher.

Duty · Medium / heavy
Typical use · Road culverts, cross-drainage

We manufacture to NP2 and NP3. We do not publish classes we do not produce or certify.

Diameter & Length Availability

Standard sizes we manufacture

Standard pipe length is 2.5 m. If your BOQ needs a diameter or class outside this list, send it to our technical sales team.

Technical Specifications

RCC Hume pipe specification

Hume pipe classes in Nepal are manufactured to the same governing standard (IS 458:1988). Triveni's pipes meet these standard parameters - exact wall-thickness and reinforcement figures for your diameter are confirmed on request.

Manufacturing Process

How our Hume pipes are made

1

Cage Fabrication

Steel reinforcement cages are fabricated to the size required for each class and diameter.

2

Mould & Cage Placement

The cage is placed inside the mould before concrete is added.

3

Spinning / Compaction

The mould is spun at speed so centrifugal force compacts the concrete evenly against the wall.

4

Curing, Inspection & Dispatch

Pipes are demoulded, cured, dimensionally checked and dispatched.

Quality & Testing

Same standard as the rest of the market. Tighter control on our floor.

Because the IS 458 specification is shared industry-wide, the real difference between suppliers is production discipline. Our process includes:

Cement & aggregate inspection
Reinforcement inspection
Concrete mix control
Diameter & wall-thickness checks
Visual & dimensional inspection
Batch identification & final release
Applications

Where our Hume pipes are used

Road Culverts

Cross-drainage under roads and highways.

Municipal Drainage

Stormwater and municipal drainage systems.

Irrigation

Concrete pipe systems for irrigation projects.

Sewerage & Water Infrastructure

Government and contractor infrastructure projects.
