Arch Reinforced Concrete Pipe is recommended for installations where:
 Minimal, moderate or severe cover conditions exist
 Structural failure might endanger life or property — reinforced pipe does not collapse or lose its shape even after ultimate failure
 Strength of pipe is a concern because RCP is the strongest available pipe
 Hydraulic capacity is a concern because RCP has a Manning coefficient of 0.012
 Live load conditions exist
