Reason for selection:
This project involves
the construction of rainwater holding pipes as part of upgrade work of sewage
systems. Two conduit pipes drain excess rainwater caused by downpours into stainless
steel pipes of 1,900mm and 2,700mm in diameter. These stainless steel pipes swirl
and run the rainwater down along their walls to holding pipes installed
21meters and 26 meters below, thus reducing falling energy of water.
Due to its high
strength and durability, stainless steel has been selected for this project over
FRP, the conventional material.
This is
a good example to indicate that stainless steel can make social contributions
in case of natural disaster and has created a new market.
