FRP pipe meets power plant requirements

Ben Bogner and Bruce Curry of AOC LLC discuss the use of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) at three power plants. The first project was a 16.3 ft (5 m) diameter pipe installed in Florida, used to discharge hot water from the plant into the river. The next two projects were in New York State where pipes delivered water, through 10 ft and 12 ft (3 m and 3.6 m) diameter penstocks, to power stations.
