PipeClass Design Software Workshops
PipeClass is the reinforced concrete pipeline design program that the Concrete Pipe Association of Australasia (CPAA) offer to the industry, free of charge click here to download your copy. The software allows the specifier to design concrete pipelines in accordance with the latest versions of AS/NZS4058 "Precast concrete pipes" and AS/NZS3725 "Design for installation of buried concrete pipe" with confidence.
This workshop, presented by David Millar, Executive Director of the CPAA, will provide PipeClass users a detailed look at how to use the program, how to gain the maximum benefit in efficeiency from the program, and an insight into some hidden extras that will provide value to your design.
