    GRP pipes have high corrosion resistance against all fluids and require minimum maintenance. They have a long design life of 50 years, can handle surge pressures well without needing additional protection devices, and are lightweight. Ductile iron pipes have moderate corrosion resistance if internally lined, need periodic inspection, have a shorter 30 year design life, require protection devices to handle surge pressures, and are much heavier than GRP pipes. HDPE pipes have satisfactory corrosion resistance, a design life of 50 years, can handle surge pressures reasonably well, but repair is not possible and they are heavier than GRP pipes due to their greater required thickness.
