A 1000 mm diameter Corrugated Steel Pipe is 65% “greener” than a Reinforced Concrete Pipe*
Recent research by the Corrugated Steel Pipe Institute, confirmed by three unbiased experts, shows that Corrugated Steel Pipe’s carbon footprint equalled roughly 40 kg of CO2 versus the 67 kg of CO2 created by Reinforced Concrete Pipe production.*
Corrugated Steel Pipe offers many environmental benefits
In fact, Corrugated Steel Pipe delivers a wide range of environmental benefits, including: reduced greenhouse gases, lower pollution, less acid rain and a reduction in depletion of materials such as the water and energy used in manufacturing.
Calculator Compares Corrugated Steel Pipe to Reinforced Concrete Pipe
The CSPI’s independently confirmed research findings have led to the creation of the Carbon Footprint Calculator, available for free download below.
Using a 450 mm diameter, 20 m length of Corrugated Steel Pipe as an example, Corrugated Steel Pipe’s carbon footprint is 40% smaller than that of a Reinforced Concrete Pipe*. Plus, as pipe diameters increase, the environmental advantages of using Corrugated Steel Pipe can increase as well — by as much as 65%.
