About National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association (NCSPA)
Association Profile
Established in 1956, the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association promotes public policy relating to the use of corrugated steel drainage structures in private and public construction. It collects and distributes technical information; assists public and private agencies in the formulation of specifications and designs; encourages greater knowledge of corrugated steel pipe's benefits and uses among college engineering students; and conducts seminars to increase awareness of the product and its application among specifiers.
Educational Resources:
The basic technical books for this industry were written by panels of NCSPA members.
- The Blue Book, Modern Sewer Design
- The Handbook of Steel Drainage and Highway Construction Products (aka the Green Book.)
- A new CSP Design Manual is being drafted and will include design information for CSP drainage structures, storm sewers and underground detention systems.
- Service-life Cost Analysis Information
- Design Data Sheets
- Drainage Technology Bulletins
- Installation Manual
- Reports on corrugated steel pipe's durability and hydraulic characteristics for both round and pipe arch.
NCSPA stages a series of seminars for practicing engineers on the use of corrugated steel pipe systems for storm water management. Sessions on production methods, compliance with Federal and State regulations governing the workplace, and new fabricating techniques are also presented for the NCSPA membership.
