Conclusion
 The type of pipe recommended for the project is selected
on the basis of acceptable standard and experiences.
The recommended materials is selected as per AWWA
standard C-200. Welding procedures adopted are based
on International Standards use by the American Society
of Mechanical Engineer (ASME) American Welding
Society (AWS) U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (U.S.B.R.)
who are authority on Large Pipe Fabrication.
For the pipe supply for this project, Spiral Welded Pipe,
Can-Type of pipe must follow the design drawings in
terms of Joint Weld preparation.
