RE: Seasoned With Sult N Papper : June 1, 2019> Hello, I am new here or at least it feels that way.
I enjoy reading about your concrete mixture. I hope it goes well as this is important for construction. It would have use in a lot of different applications like cheaper sewer pipes, too. Replacing thoses is a very messy job and they can't afford to use the expensive underwater concrete that tunnels are made from.
Thanks @abitcoinskeptic most sewer pipes here in the US have gone from clay and concrete to pvc and polyethylene which are very inexpensive for the most part so I don't see that as much of an opportunity here but it maybe in other parts of the world.
Glad you enjoyed reading about this and thank you so much from taking the time to read and comment.
I was thinking note for storm sewers, wrong word, my bad. As far as I know the storm drains are still mostly concrete. Actual sewage makes semse to use plastics since a leak would be a sad day.

Yes, storm sewers are still mainly concrete but a company called ADS ( Advanced Drainage Systems) has a double wall smooth poly pipe that is up to 60" in diameter that is getting specified now for storm drain use in a lot of new areas being built. It is so much easier to work with and the cost is right in line with the concrete piping when all things are considered.
