Concrete pipe has many positive attributes such as strength and low cost.
However, it is not an effective material in an acid environment. Feasibility studies performed in Phase I demonstrated the viability of the lining process. Phase II concentrates on quality control during manufacturing and a demonstration project where the product will be put into use. During the first year, full-scale equipment will be designed and built and the manufacturing process will be refined in a laboratory. The second year involves using the equipment on concrete precast sites to provide product for demonstration projects.
