What Is Irrigation Pipe?
Irrigation pipe refers to piping systems used to deliver, distribute, or manage water on agricultural land. These systems often rely on gravity or pumping to move water from sources such as wells, rivers, reservoirs, or holding tanks to crops, pastures, and other irrigated zones.
Unlike lightweight PVC or plastic pipe, steel irrigation pipe offers exceptional strength, longevity, and resistance to UV exposure, impact, and soil movement. It is well-suited for above-ground and buried systems and is commonly used in permanent installations or demanding environments.
Types of Pipe Used in Agriculture
At Crestwood Tubulars, we offer a wide selection of steel pipe types and sizes suitable for irrigation and agricultural use. These include:
- Used and surplus steel pipe – Budget-friendly for fencing, water lines, and culverts
- New prime steel pipe – Certified and traceable pipe for regulated water systems
- Carbon steel pipe – Strong, corrosion-resistant pipe for long-term use
- Large-diameter pipe – Great for gravity-fed or high-volume flow systems
We offer outside diameters ranging from 1" to 72", and can cut, coat, or customize pipe to meet your application’s exact needs.
Common Applications for Irrigation Pipe
Steel pipe serves a variety of functions in agricultural and rural settings. Here are some of the most common ways our customers use irrigation pipe:
1. Water Conveyance Systems
Steel pipe is used to move water from its source to irrigation zones or storage areas. It is ideal for:
- Surface or subsurface irrigation systems
- Mainlines and laterals
- Water transfer between fields
2. Livestock Watering and Feedlots
Irrigation pipe plays a vital role in delivering fresh water to livestock in pastures, barns, and corrals.
- Waterlines for cattle tanks or troughs
- Underground pipe for winter protection
- Water system infrastructure for feedlots
3. Drainage and Erosion Control
Steel pipe is also used to remove excess water and protect land from erosion or flooding.
- Culvert pipe under roads or access points
- Drainage systems for low-lying fields
- Stormwater runoff redirection
4. Fencing and Structural Uses
Used steel pipe is often repurposed for agricultural fencing and structural supports:
- Pipe fencing for cattle, horses, and perimeter control
- Gate posts and corral systems
- Greenhouse frames and trellising for vineyards or orchards
Steel pipe provides unmatched durability, reducing the need for frequent replacement in harsh rural environments.
Benefits of Using Steel Pipe for Agriculture and Irrigation
Steel irrigation pipe offers several key advantages over plastic or aluminum alternatives:
- Strength and Durability – Withstands pressure, weight, and weather
- Long Service Life – Resistant to cracking, UV damage, and impact
- Cost-Effective – Especially in surplus or used options
- Versatile – Suitable for water transport, fencing, and structural use
- Customizable – Easy to cut, weld, or coat for specific applications
