RCPA is a wholly Australian-owned manufacturer of reinforced concrete pipes.

Reinforced Concrete Pipes Australia (RCPA) is the only national supplier of Steel Reinforced Concrete Pipe that is wholly Australian owned and we are enormously proud of that fact. RCPA is committed to the use of high tech machinery in all its operations and is a leader in cutting edge technology and innovation. New generation dry cast concrete manufacturing technology is used to produce concrete pipes and box culverts to a new and higher standard, ensuring accuracy and durable characteristics. The technology implemented by RCPA is having a significant impact on pipe production in Australia - choosing plant that not only incorporates many production efficiencies, but also minimising environmental impact and usage of power.

A significant milestone for lower-carbon infrastructure in Victoria.

The Department of Transport and Planning has approved the use of RCPA’s low-carbon EKOPipe on Winslow Infrastructure’s Watson Street Interchange Upgrade in Wallan. This marks the first use of EKOPipe on a Department of Transport and Planning roads project in Victoria.

Selected for the project’s stormwater drainage works, EKOPipe delivers approximately 50% less embodied carbon than conventional concrete pipes while maintaining standard installation methods and meeting the performance requirements of critical infrastructure.

We are proud to collaborate with Winslow Infrastructure, the Department of Transport and Planning, and VIDA Roads to bring more sustainable solutions to Victoria’s major road network.

Performance matters, especially for infrastructure designed to remain in service for decades.

Testing for water absorption and apparent volume of permeable voids confirmed that EKOPipe performs better than standard concrete pipe in these key areas. Lower water absorption and fewer permeable voids contribute to a denser, more durable concrete product.

Developed using BX3 technology, EKOPipe combines proven structural performance with a genuine reduction in embodied carbon. It is a lower-carbon concrete pipe engineered to meet the practical demands of Australian infrastructuret.

Quality starts long before a pipe leaves the factory. It starts with how it’s made.

Our vertical casting process uses highly compacted, zero-slump concrete to produce consistent, reliable pipes while reducing energy use and material waste. Every stage is carefully controlled to meet the high standards required for civil infrastructure.

It’s a practical, efficient way to maintain quality at scale, without cutting corners.

For decades, RCPA has led the way in concrete pipe manufacturing, introducing modern dry-cast production technology to Australia and establishing new benchmarks for precision, consistency and quality.

That spirit of innovation remains the foundation of everything we manufacture today, from advanced production methods to lower-carbon solutions such as EKOPipe. We continue to build reliable infrastructure for Australia’s future.

EKOPipe proves that cutting embodied carbon doesn’t mean cutting performance.

Built with innovative BX3 technology, EKOPipe delivers equal strength, durability and service life compared to standard steel-reinforced concrete pipe, while significantly reducing Portland cement use and the associated CO2 emissions that come with it.

As the first of its kind in Australia, EKOPipe marks a genuine step forward for lower-carbon infrastructure, backed by the quality and reliability RCPA is known for.

Concrete pipe manufacturing has evolved significantly, but the objective remains the same: producing reliable infrastructure products that perform for generations.

RCPA has played an active role in advancing the industry by introducing vertically cast, dry-cast pipe manufacturing to Australia. This process uses highly compacted, zero-slump concrete to create strong, precise and consistent steel-reinforced concrete pipes.

Supported by modern batching facilities, controlled manufacturing processes and testing in accordance with AS/NZS 4058, our products are manufactured to meet the demands of major civil and stormwater infrastructure projects.

RCPA continues to refine its manufacturing capabilities through innovation, quality control and lower-carbon technologies such as BX3, helping provide dependable infrastructure solutions with reduced environmental impact.

Concrete pipe has supported Australian infrastructure for more than a century, evolving alongside the needs of growing cities, communities and major civil projects.

RCPA continues this progress as Australia’s only nationally operating, Australian-owned concrete pipe manufacturer. By combining established engineering principles with modern production technology, we manufacture steel-reinforced concrete pipes designed for strength, durability and long-term performance.

Our vertically cast, dry-cast manufacturing capability has helped advance concrete pipe production in Australia, delivering highly compacted, zero-slump concrete with consistent quality and dimensional precision.

From traditional reinforced concrete pipes to lower-carbon solutions such as EKOPipe, RCPA continues to build on the industry’s history while developing products for the infrastructure needs of the future.

RCPA began developing a low-carbon concrete pipe over a decade ago, and BX3, now used across our EKOPipe range, is the result.

Australian concrete pipe manufacturing has traditionally relied on efficient, thin-wall designs that demand high-strength concrete and precisely positioned reinforcement to meet load requirements. Reducing carbon couldn’t come at the expense of that strength, or of durability. A lower-carbon mix still had to meet the same 100-year service life expectation our pipes are built for.

BX3 delivers on both fronts, giving councils, engineers and contractors a sustainable option without compromising on performance.
