Modern Concrete Receives Penn DOT and NJ DOT Certification For Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP)

A Few Basic Facts:
• Gasketed RCP
• Classes 3, 4 and 5
• Meets ASTM C76 and AASHTO M170 Specifications
• Penn DOT certified
• NJ DOT certified
• Modern’s cage and RCP production systems are the most advanced in the world today resulting in:
- The most advanced RCP design in the market
- The highest quality RCP in the market today
- The best performing RCP in the market today
• Modern’s RCP production process creates the densest RCP in the market:
- Greater overall durability
- Greater bell durability
- Less damage from on-site handling
• Modern’s RCP has no bell 24” and larger, its 18” RCP has only a 5/8” bell off-set and its 15” RCP has only a 7/8” bell off-set, all resulting in:
- Reduced bell-to-bell damage rates
- No bell troughs needed
• Lifting holes are “cast” directly into each RCP stick as it is manufactured resulting in increased lift- ing hole durability that is much less prone to cracking and RCP with no internal “mushrooming” (plastic poppets available upon request)
• Modern’s Gasketed RCP:
- Gasket is integral to the pipe’s bell
- Modern installs the gasket during the actual pipe production process
- Similar concept to SDR35
- Eliminates manual handling and field installation of gasket onto spigot
- Significantly increases pipe crew productivity (simply lubricate and send home)
- Compliant with the latest ASTM gasket specification (ASTM C443-05A)
• Modern provides “on-time / as promised” RCP delivery via its own fleet of tractors and trailers (each trailer equipped with automatic pipe unloaders)
• As a “full service excavation contractor supplier” Modern offers bundled job RCP price discounts, job production consolidation & management, and integrated job delivery resulting in:
- Lower order management costs for contractors
- Lower inventory carrying costs for contractors
- Improved project management for contractors
