Two types of Concrete Pressure Pipe (CPP) are ideal materials for delivering large volumes of chilled water. Those are Lined Cylinder Prestressed Concrete Pipe (AWWA C301) and Bar Wrapped Steel Cylinder Concrete Pipe (AWWA C303). Both types of pipes are available in diameters from 16” and larger, depending on the local pipe manufacturer's capabilities. Find out more about CPP by visiting our website at www.acppa.org

Powering Reliability with Concrete Pressure Pipe

Power plants depend on reliable water infrastructure—and concrete pressure pipe (CPP) delivers.

- Handles high-pressure cooling, circulating, and intake/discharge systems

- Resists corrosion and abrasion for decades of dependable performance

- Provides a 100+ year design life with low maintenance

- Maximizes hydraulic efficiency and reduces lifecycle costs

- Supports sustainable, resilient infrastructure

From thermal and nuclear to renewable energy facilities, concrete pressure pipe offers the strength, durability, and long-term value needed for critical water conveyance systems. Learn more about the advantages CPP provides in various applications at: https://acppa.org/resources

Long-term water infrastructure performance depends on effective corrosion protection. Bar-Wrap Concrete Pressure Pipe (CPP) provides exceptional durability through its composite design, with a steel cylinder fully encased in high-density mortar that creates both a physical and chemical barrier against aggressive soils and challenging water chemistry.
This dense, high-pH system helps resist corrosion, preserving structural integrity and watertight performance for decades—even in environments with elevated chloride or sulfate levels, including irrigated agricultural areas, wetlands, and regions with naturally high mineral content.
