How should a Material Received Report for Reinforced Concrete Pipe be entered?

This FAQ last updated May 1, 2007

Reinforced Concrete Pipe belongs to the Minimum Sampling Guide Material Type of Pipe Culverts, Concrete.

This Material Type is received on a Material Received Report (MRR).
It has a Project Certification Criticality of Critical.
The Pipe must be Pretested and Alternate IDs must be entered.
- For Contracts let before 2/20/2007 , the Alternate IDs do not need to match an Alternate ID entered on a Field Inspection Report for the Accepted Quantity to update.
- For Contracts let on or after 2/20/2007 , the Alternate IDs must match an Alternate ID entered on a Field Inspection Report for the Accepted Quantity to update.
The Pipe should be stamped "NC DOT Approved".

Where is the Alternate ID found on Concrete Pipe?

Since January, 2007, Concrete Pipe manufacturers have been required to paint or sticker each piece of pipe with the plant's ID number, size of pipe, and year made. For example, 36" pipe made in January, 2007 at plant CP21 would be marked CP21-36-07

This information must be on the inside of the pipe, within 12 inches from the end of the pipe. It must also be listed on the Bill of Lading.
Manufacturers will continue to etch into the pipe the manufacturing date and class of pipe during production.
NCDOT inspectors will continue to stamp the pipe with NC and the class of pipe (for example, 3B).
If the Alternate IDs are missing from either the pipe or the Bill of Lading, or do not match the designated format, please contact Sam Frederick at 919-733-7091.
