In this paper, the analysis of technical solutions in the manufacturing technology of concreted pipes is considered. When constructing underwater crossings, the most reliable and effective method of ballasting is the method involving the use of pipes with a solid concrete coating. Concrete coatings, among other things, provide protection of the main pipeline from mechanical damage, as well as from the effects of an aggressive environment. The compositions of fine-grained concrete for concreting the surface of steel pipes using non-recycled waste of steel wire rope or pipe production are proposed. It has been established that the use of these wastes in certain dosages contributes to an increase in the strength of concrete, high frost resistance while reducing the amount of expensive heavy aggregates.
