Concrete rings are a critical aspect of contemporary infrastructure, deployed in drainage infrastructures, septic tanks, manholes, and myriad water management and management related activities. Rings are extremely durable, strong, and last for a long time and thus are a preferred material for underground as well as for surface installations.


One of the most repeatedly asked questions is — what is the standard size of concrete rings? Let's examine what the standard size of these rings are and why they matter.


Understanding Concrete Rings

Concrete rings (sometimes precast concrete rings or well rings), are circular precast concrete products used to create strong and watertight structures. Rings are made with marine grade reinforced concrete which lives up to the pressure, soil load, and water flow.


Concrete rings are available in many sizes depending on the application, from small residential soak pits to commercial and industrial drainage capabilities.


Concrete rings standard sizes

Segmented Concrete Co. manufactures a range of precast concrete rings that comply with industry standard reinforced concrete rings and the many project opportunities. 

The following is our standard ring sizes:



Outer Diameter (mm)

Wall Thickness (mm)

Height (mm)

650

90

200

1500

90

200

2600

100

200

3600

125

200

4870

250

200



These dimensions are precision engineered for stability, easy installation, and durability.


Choosing The Right Size Concrete Ring

Think about the following factors when selecting a concrete ring for your project:


  • Purpose of Installation- the use case determines required diameter and thickness whether you are installing a ring for a well, drainage line, or septic tank.


  • Load and Pressure- if there is a heavy load, or depth involved, lager diameter along with thicker walls are ideal.


  • Space Constraints- often space to install will completely dictate ring size selection.


  • Ease of Handling- Smaller rings are easier to transport and install. Larger rings take lifting equipment to handle.


At Segmented Concrete Co. our team can help you in determining the most meaningfully appropriate ring size for your project based upon load capacity, site conditions, and design requirements.


Characteristics of Concrete Rings


  1. High Strength: Made of the highest-quality reinforced concrete that can withstand extreme loads and conditions.


  1. Reliability: Designed for a long service life, without requiring frequent maintenance or (and/or) replacement.


  1. Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured using precision molds, it will produce sizable, standardized units that will fit.


  1. Water Tight: Designed to promote watertight structures in a thoughtful way so as to minimize contaminants and seepage.


  1. Custom Sizes: Can be produced in different diameters and thicknesses, based on the specific needs of the given project.


  1. Rust Resistant: The base composition of concrete will resist rust and/or corrosion even in wet soil or saturated conditions.


  1. Easy to Work With: Producing a lightweight product that allows for placement and installation with couched little energy using only normal lifting equipment.


  1. Sustainable Material: Made with green materials that can be in environmentally sustainable water management systems, such as rainwater harvesting.


Benefits of Using Precast Concrete Rings

  1. Quicker Construction: Since the precast rings arrive on-site and are ready to install, they save valuable labor and help cut down cure time.


  1. Definitely Economical: With a longer service life, the ring takes away the potential of replacements and maintenance. 


  1. Consistent Quality: The precast rings are made in a controlled factory environment giving you quality control and uniformity.


  1. High Load Capacity: The precast concrete rings give you the ability to build light or heavy-duty applications such as stormwater drains, septic tanks, and inspection chambers. 


  1. Definitely Flexible: You have the option of various sizes to satisfy a number of types of work ranging from water pits on residential property to large industrial drainage systems. 


  1. Weather Resistant: The precast concrete rings stand up to temperature changes, soil pressure, and groundwater conditions all without cracking or deforming. 


  1. Safety and Reliability: Using the smooth internal surface allows better flow of water and helps to keep the structure safe from blockages.


Final Thoughts

The standard size of concrete rings varies depending on the project’s purpose, load capacity, and design requirements. At Segmented Concrete Co., we provide a wide range of precast concrete rings with outer diameters from 650 mm to 4870 mm and wall thicknesses up to 250 mm, ensuring performance and reliability for every project.

Whether for drainage systems, rainwater harvesting, or industrial applications, our concrete rings are designed to deliver strength, precision, and durability.
