Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company

What Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company does

Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company manufactures corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe products for stormwater management, drainage, flood control, and infrastructure applications. Founded in 1935 as a successor to W.E. Hall Company (incorporated 1933) and headquartered in Irvine, California, the company operates five manufacturing and fabrication facilities across the western United States (Fontana, CA; Sacramento, CA; Casa Grande, AZ; Eugene, OR; Hubbard, OR) plus two stocking yards. The company is the original inventor of Spiral Rib Pipe (SRP) — a corrugated profile combining smooth-wall hydraulics with structural advantages — and holds patents on TriShield protective coating technology. Core product lines include Corrugated Steel Pipe (round, arch, spiral rib, structural plate, slotted drain, perforated, beveled end), StormTite HDPE pipe (Type C single wall and Type S double wall, 3-inch to 60-inch), StormKeeper stormwater chambers (added via 2021 acquisition), and allied products such as gabions, geotextiles, drainage basins, and watertight fittings. A mobile mill service produces on-site pipe from 18 inches to 21 feet in diameter for remote and large projects.

The company was acquired by Lane Enterprises, LLC on July 30, 2021, becoming an employee-owned subsidiary. The combined organization operates 17 manufacturing and fabrication facilities across the US, servicing customers in 38 states and Canada with a combined headcount exceeding 425 employees. Pacific Corrugated Pipe serves three primary customer segments: government agencies (state DOTs including Caltrans, county and municipal public works), contractors and construction firms (general contractors, earthwork contractors), and engineers and architects who specify products. Secondary segments include agriculture, mining, and environmental applications.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales via a field sales representative network organized by zip code-based territory assignments, with custom project quotes rather than public list pricing. Distribution occurs through direct purchase from manufacturing facilities, stocking yards, and the Lane Enterprises cross-reference network. The company has received multiple industry awards from the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association (NCSPA) and Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI), including Project of the Year honors in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020 for projects spanning Antarctic research, forestry, Caltrans highway expansion, and international humanitarian initiatives. The company maintains technical resources including engineering calculators, design height tables, CAD drawings, and an on-site customer portal to support engineer and contractor product selection.
