Objective
To demonstrate both new design principles to reduce the cost of a polypropylene pipeline, and a new, low cost, easily replaceable, high density polyethylene intake and siphon-valve system.
Detailed analysis has indicated that polypropylene pipelines in hydro-electric applications may be safely operated under higher stresses than are currently accepted, resulting in a considerable reduction in installation costs. A polypropylene pipeline operating under higher stresses will be installed, and its performance closely monitored over a two year period.
In addition, a novel, easily replicable, floating intake design using High Density Polyethylene material and a siphon break valve will be installed, which will reduce design, construction and materials costs.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
