Project Description:  Transporting industrial waste, 26 km over rough terrain including a height differential of 800 meters, causing the pipe to work partly as a siphon, partly as a high pressure pipe and partly as a channel.

Challenges

• Rough terrain
• Flexibility
• Corrosion
• Need for 100% safe system
