Concrete Pipe Gaskets & Seals
Rubber gaskets that seal the joints between the bell and spigot of reinforced concrete pipe, precast manhole risers, and box culvert sections.

Municipalities across North America are replacing aging combined sewers with massive new systems that separate wastewater and stormwater, dramatically reducing wastewater treatment load and protecting the environment. These systems must be watertight to meet modern environmental specs and standards. And that’s where we enter the picture with our sanitary water treatment pipe sealing solutions.
Hamilton Kent’s watertight gaskets and connectors are designed to meet the highest environmental specifications. Our durable, flexible rubber connectors are a big leap forward from the mortar-based connections that add to construction time in the field and are prone to cracking and leaking.
A wide selection of both restraint couplings and flexible couplings can be used for potable water connections, all types of repairs, and small to large pipes both above-ground and underground. Site-servicing pipelines feed water from the municipal services line into facilities such as commercial developments, warehouses, factories or institutions. Pipelines are constructed from a variety of materials, and Straub couplings make a perfect connection, specially designed for the specific pipeline material. Tough, resilient and long-lasting, Straub couplings make critical connections in chambers, which are often located at the lot line of commercial and industrial building and at the perimeter of public facilities.
Metro Vancouver, in the final phase of a huge sewer system expansion, selected microtunneling for one section of the South Surrey Interceptor project to mitigate disruption of vehicular traffic. The contractor relied on Langley Concrete for the pipe, who in turn leaned on HK for development of the gaskets critical to sealing the joints.

Plans called for a quad run of storm sewer pipe, and the South Dakota DOT was serious about protecting the environment and nearby underground utilities with a watertight solution. Cemcast Pipe and Precast and Hamilton Kent delivered the solution, with an innovative gasketed arch pipe design that sealed tight and also saved the contractor time and labor in the field.

Once completed, the Plaza St-Hubert overhaul will have a modern feel, and the sewers flowing underneath will be adequately prepared for the next 100 plus years.
