OUR STORY

We are Unique

RCPA is the leading supplier of vertically cast steel-reinforced concrete pipes in Australia. Established in 2009 after the merger of our two founding companies in the industry; Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) and Australasian Pipeline & Precast (APP), that merger made RCPA the only national supplier of vertically cast steel-reinforced concrete pipes and the only, solely Australian owned and operated, concrete pipe business. With plants and leading civil precaster partnerships all over Australia, RCPA is committed to meeting customer requirements, no matter how big or small.

RCPA's focus on excellence is achieved through manufacturing processes that prioritise quality and efficiency. Technology and innovation are central to our operations. We are known for pioneering the vertical cast pipe process in Australia, and today we remain the only supplier offering this product range nationally. We also offer our clients FRC Pipe, a unique fibre-reinforced pipe technology that combines ease of installation with concrete pipe strength. Our precast product technology and range are continually developing, offering our clients a diverse range of options.

Compliance is a top priority for RCPA, and our product designs and manufacturing processes adhere to local, state, and national regulations. RCPA is driven by our values and capabilities. We are committed to protecting our people, the community, and the environment, and continuously strive for safer and more sustainable processes and products.

Innovation is a crucial aspect of RCPA's success. We incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies, superior materials, innovative designs, and sustainable practices to meet the construction industry's demands and address its challenges. Our innovative approach helps us remain competitive and create critical infrastructure elements for the safety and reliability of communities. We are extremely proud to introduce our latest innovation: EKOPipe, which is an eco-friendly concrete pipe, utilising our revolutionary new BX3 technology.

Innovation has helped us not only reduce carbon emissions but also improve our material’s strength and durability. Additionally, the use of more sustainable production methods has helped us reduce our environmental footprint. As game changers in the industry, RCPA will continue investing in innovative solutions to stay relevant and effective in the future.

RCPA supports the industry community through membership and active participation in leading associations such as the Concrete Pipe Association of Australasia (CPAA), the National Precast Concrete Association of Australia (NPCAA), and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council.

In all my years of dealing with RCPA, I have found their product and service second to none. They are a reliable pipe manufacturer and in most cases, wherever they can, will do whatever it takes to help get pipes on the ground. Their sales and technical support teams are very helpful. Having knowledgeable experts on hand to address technical questions or concerns makes a significant difference. Nothing is ever a hassle.

I highly recommend RCPA for all of your concrete stormwater pipe requirements.
Stephen Maher (Procurement Officer Shadforth)

TRN Group have held a working relationship with RCPA for over 8.5 years now & the most appreciated aspects of our dealings with them has been prompt responses to pricing requests and as-proposed delivery schedules met all via good old-fashion personal service from many a long serving staff.

These attributes on each project they are engaged in have resulted in them becoming our top supplier of FRC & SRC Pipe. The upheaval of the recent industry pipe shortage was very challenging, however the RCPA production and sales team assisted in every instance to meet all targets hence ensuring projects were delivered on time.
