Alternative installation techniques possible, e.g. slip lining. UV resistant (special product). Custom made fittings can be manufactured. Suitable for use without additional corrosion protection in areas where stray electrical currents occur. Low impact resistance and ease of damage to thermosetting resin makes GRP susceptible to damage during transportation and installation in above ground installations, from vandalism or when damaged as a consequence of nearby excavation. Suitable for aggressive groundwater, anaerobic and tidal zones.
