GRP pipes are often part of a critical network in civil engineering, for energy suppliers or in other industrial plants. Often, not only they do transport relatively harmless substances and environmentally friendly liquids, but also chemicals, contaminated cooling or heating water, crude oil and similar. To prevent leaks – and thus contamination of the soil and ground water – plastic pipes must meet high material requirements...
