Hancock Concrete got its start back in 1917 when Henry Schmidgall began producing concrete drain tile in Hancock, Minnesota. In the late 1920's he began producing reinforced concrete pipe, and the rest is history.

Today Hancock produces a variety of reinforced concrete pipe, both gasketed and non-gasketed, and in a range of sizes and strengths to accommodate almost any situation.

When compared to pipe made from alternative materials, precast concrete pipe has superior strength, durability and longevity. While some pipe manufacturers may claim lower hydraulic roughness coefficients for alternative pipe materials, typical values for Manning's roughness coefficients recommended by State and Federal agencies for smooth wall pipe range from 0.010 to 0.013. No distinction is made between concrete and other smooth wall products.

Hancock also specializes in producing custom drainage structures. These include all shapes and sizes of structures, with openings and sleeves for almost any size pipe. With superior strength and durability, precast concrete drainage structures provide a versatile and economical alternative to cast-in-place concrete or masonry structures.
