Description
Rapid evolution is taking place in the water market world wide - driven by increased consumer demand allied to the rarefraction of clean
water. The inherent characteristics of composites materials associated with current materials and production technology is allowing the
increased use of previously high cost materials and processes at ever decreasing costs.
The Handbook is designed to bring specifiers
up to speed with these materials and the new areas of application associated with them, exploring the scope, performance, cost effectiveness
and environmental and legislative consequences of their use.
Audience
For project engineers, civil and structural engineers, design engineers, buyers, process and design engineers, governmental agencies and sales engineers.
