Info Briefs & Info Series

One of the services the Concrete Pipe Division provides is an ongoing series of technical information geared toward the concrete pipe industry. Called the Info Brief and Information Series, the material is designed to keep you informed of key design, product and performance issues. Although technical in nature, the information is presented in a manner which is easy to understand.

The Info Brief is a short technical note providing top line information and updates, no more than two pages in length. The Information Series is simply a more detailed report covering issues in greater depth.

The Technical Services Department publishes new Info Briefs and Information Series reports frequently. Check our web site from time to time for new reports.

We also welcome suggestions for future Info Brief/Information Series topics. Please send your suggestions to:
