The use of large diameter FRP piping has its problems. If this is a buried pipeline you need to recognise that the material has a very low strain tolerance. The embedment and compaction is critical. If the side support is compacted too much the pipe can be made egg shaped. Then when the cover is compacted you form squarish corners. These areas are subject to very high strains and the material may fail from buckling.
The ISO 14692 is a very good design, manufacture and construction guide. If a manufacturer doesnt comply with this standard then steer away from them. It is based on the British standard but with a great deal of input from the University of Strathclyde. They specialised in testing these materials for the North Sea oil rigs.

Dear all
Presently few manufacturers are even producing 4000 mm diameter GRP pipes and
being used for various projects world wide

Dear friends,
Nowadays, for the sea water based cooling
applications, GRP material is getting more acceptance
in the industry. This shall be in conformance with
ISO 14692 specification. The manufacturers claim to
have executed even sizes as large as 3000 mm (if not
larger still) in diameter with this material.
Anybody interested?
Good luck!
