Advantages
Beton Bekaa is proud to be the first in Lebanon to introduce the flat base concrete pipes
The main distinguishing feature of the pipes manufactured under DIN (4032 KW & KFW) is the extra wall thickness which provides much higher strength when compared to pipes of other standards. This is clearly shown when comparing the crushing loads required by DIN 4032 by other standards.
Moreover, since pipes manufactured under DIN 4032 (KW and KFW) do not require steel reinforcement, they are less vulnerable to cracking. It is well known that reinforced concrete pipes require precision during production and curing stages, and hence, lack of precision usually causes pipe defects that are not found in Beton Bekaa.
Finally, due to their extra wall thickness, the DIN 4032 pipes are more durable under abrasion and chemical attack, and have higher tolerance for absorption.
Advantage 1: The flat base reduces the amount of refined aggregates used in the laying process.
Advantage 2: Rapid and immediate installation. Proper load insured and perfect joining with the use of rubber joints.
Advantage 3: With the continuous base, the saddle is eliminated thus descreasing greatly the cost of installation.
