INDIA’S SMART CHOICE FOR WATER SECURITY: SEGMENTED PRECAST CONCRETE RINGS

Water shortage and groundwater depletion are increasingly severe problems in India. Affordable and sustainable water storage and recharge structures are needed now more than ever! One solution gaining popularity in both rural areas and urban communities is segmented precast concrete rings.

Here at Segmented Concrete Co. we manufacture quality durable precast concrete rings utilized for rainwater harvesting and recharge wells, soak pits, septic tanks, borewell protection, just to name a few. Our rings provide structural strength and durability but more importantly improve sustainability at a cost-effective price-point. 

In this blog, we talk about how segmented precast concrete rings are revolutionizing water management in India, their advantages, applications and why it is the ideal solution for anyone considering a permanent water solution.

THE CASE FOR BETTER WATER SOLUTIONS IN INDIA

India has some critical water issues:

• Over 70% of surface water is contaminated.

• Groundwater is being extracted to be depleted.

• Many rural areas continue to use unsafe water storage methods.

• Rapid urbanization is resulting in poor drainage and waterlogging.

That's where precast concrete rings can help, as they can be used for rainwater harvesting pits, soak wells, and groundwater recharge infrastructure to aid in the effective storage, filtering, and recharge of water back to aquifers in our communities.

WHAT ARE SEGMENTED PRECAST CONCRETE RINGS?

Segmented precast concrete rings are cylindrical pre-made reinforced concrete rings manufactured in a controlled environment and delivered to the installation site. They are different from traditional brick or stone products because they are pre-made, kits, and can be installed in a short amount of time.

Segmented precast concrete rings come in multiple sizes and diameters depending on the requirement and the desired water storage or recharge. At Segmented Concrete Co., our rings are constructed of high-strength concrete to hold up against the soil pressure and last for many years.

BENEFITS OF USING PRECAST CONCRETE RINGS:

• Affordable 

Precast rings are more efficient than traditional products allowing for lower costs of both material and labor. 

• Durable 

Made from high-strength reinforced concrete, precast rings will last for many years and require very little maintenance.

• Ease of Installation 

Since they are precast, these precast rings offer a quick installation thus reducing project time. 

• Environmentally Friendly 

Helps to restore ecological balance by capturing rain water and replenishing ground water.

• Space Efficient 

Perfect for use on the rural farm or in the urban backyard when space is limited. 

• Customizable 

Precast rings are offered in several diameters and heights to meet your specifications.

• Stable and Leak Proof 

Using your soil as a stable vertical element, unlike leaky brick construction that could erode. 

USES OF PRECAST CONCRETE RINGS IN INDIA

The adaptability of precast concrete rings allows for many uses:

• Roof Rainwater Harvesting Wells -  these are used to capture rainwater from roofs for recharging water into groundwater.

• Soak Pits / Percolation Wells -  these are used for proper waste water disposal in rural and urban areas.

• Groundwater Recharge Wells - these can inject water down to deeper aquifers full of groundwater allowing for use of groundwater and prevent groundwater depletion.

• Septic Tanks/ Sanitation construction - these may be a more durable and hygienic alternative to tanks if built of bricks.

• Stormwater Drainage Wells - these may also help mitigate flooding and waterlogging in heavy rains. 

• Tube Well / Borewell Protection - these well monitoring rings also help keep borewells safe and clean.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE PRECAST RINGS INSTEAD OF BRICK OR STONE. 

So many still use brick or stone type construction for their soak pits and water storage. While they may work, they have so many negatives.

• Bricks absorb water → Concrete rings can't leak!

• Brick construction collapses easily → Precast rings have STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY!

• Brick construction takes too long → Precast rings can go up QUICKLY!

• Long term repair costs! → Precast rings have NO MAINTENANCE!

  
  

ADVANTAGES OF PRECAST RINGS OVER BRICK OR STONE

Many people continue to utilize brick or stone designs for soak pits and water storage.Precast concrete rings offer more benefits. 

• Bricks hold moisture. Concrete rings do not absorb or hold moisture.

• Brick designs fall apart quickly → Concrete rings are structurally sound.

• Bricklaying can be time-consuming. →  Precast rings are easy to install.

• Long-term financial consideration of repairs. →  Precast rings are virtually maintenance-free.

  
  

IN SUPPORT OF INDIA'S WATER SECURITY PROGRAM

The Indian government is actively promoting sanitation, groundwater recharge and rainwater harvesting through a number of programs. Therefore, people, businesses, and builders can use segmented precast concrete rings to:  

• Save rainwater.  

• Recharge groundwater reserves.  

• Reduce flooding in urban areas.  

• Ensure sanitation in rural areas.

• Facilitate long-term water security.
