HOBAS® attaches great importance to ensuring that continuous improvement of environmental protection measures is a major part of their corporate social responsibility. The whole lifecycle of their pipe systems and strong commitment to conservation can be seen throughout the entire product life cycle. HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe systems are currently the only pipes that can be offered “Carbon Neutral” in Australia. (Please refer the Certificate from CRI, Appendix G) 3 THE PRODUCT 3.1 General HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe is a flexible, structurally strong, centrifugally cast composite pipe that is designed to be used in buried and above ground applications for the transport of drinking water, sewage, sea water, storm water and aggressive chemicals under both pressure and gravity flow conditions. The pipes and fittings are manufactured under strict quality standards and are distinguished by their high strength, chemical and corrosion resistance and relatively low weight. The “HOBAS® Technical Product Data – Gravity Pipe Systems” provides a more complete description of the range of pipe and fittings available (Refer to Appendix A). 3.2 Manufacture of the HOBAS® CC-GRP jacking pipes HOBAS® can design CC-GRP Jacking pipes to meet the different needs of many nonpressure applications (pressure applications omitted from appraisal scope) by varying the resin, sand and glass proportions, orientation and configuration. 3.2.1 Manufacturing process HOBAS® CC-GRP is a special compound made of unsaturated polyester resins (UP), chopped glass and mineral reinforcing agents. These raw materials are progressively fed into a rotating mould, thus building up the wall structure from its exterior surface. Raw materials undergo stringent quality inspection and laboratory testing before being approved for use. They are then stored in special tanks to ensure that sufficient quantities are available at all times. Computer-controlled pumps and high-precision metering systems guarantee that the right amounts of raw materials for the relevant product go to the HOBAS ® Feeder. A 100% control of production process is assured. Fiberglass Roving stored on spools is chopped to the required length and added. The feeder then deposits the predefined quantities of raw materials layer by layer with each pass of the feeder arm in the six-meter-long rotating mould. Centrifugal casting is important for the quality of HOBAS® Pipes. The preset mould speed with centrifugal acceleration of up to 70 g causes the layers to be bonded into a compact, void free fibre composite. The high compression of the wall layers caused by centrifugal forces also removes all air bubbles from the wall of the pipe which makes CC-GRP pipe more resistant to delimitation than manufacturing by filament winding. Spraying hot water onto the outside of the mould accelerates the polymerization process. Resin solidification is irreversible as a result of the three-dimensional chemical bonding. GRP is thus a thermosetting plastic which retains its dimensional stability in any environment. Cold water is used to cool the mould and after the pipe is removed, finishing includes trimming and bevelling the pipe ends. Finally a coupling is mounted onto one end of each pipe. COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 9 The HOBAS® Group plants only use approved raw materials from qualified suppliers which meet detailed specified requirements. The product standards for pipes – ISO 10639, ISO 10467, EN 1796 and EN 14364 – state the requirements for GRP (glass reinforced unsaturated polyester resins), irrespective of the manufacturing process used (e.g. centrifugal casting or filament winding). However, to define the product properties in more detail, a special quality specification for centrifugally cast GRP pipes was subsequently introduced which is the MUC-KSP-A2000 by TUV. The requirements in this quality specification do not contradict the minimum ones given in the latest versions of the ISO and EN pipe system standards but define requirements over and above them for ensuring a higher level of quality. The specification for MUC-KSP-A2000 standard can be downloaded from the WSAA Members only portal using link provided in Appendix A. 3.2.2 Joints Ref: Clause 7.5 of ISO 25780:2011 HOBAS have three types of joints available for HOBAS® CC-GRP jacking pipes, each with a coupling mounted onto one end of the pipe and an elastomer which seals the pipe. Global Pipe Engineer will provide instructions/recommendations for the selection of the 3 available types of joints (Stainless Steel, GRP and Filament Wound) for the pipe sizes and project specifics for Jacking pipes.

Global Pipe Australia Pty Ltd has provided a copy of the report for the same named “Summary of qualification tests of HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe System according to international product standards ISO 10467, ISO 10639 and ISO 25780 for GRP Pipe Systems” (Order no.: 600009627). Summary of the qualification tests of HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe System according to international product standards ISO 10639, ISO 10467 and ISO 25780 for GRP Pipe systems has been submitted to WSAA and can be reviewed by contacting the Product Appraisal Manager. All the HOBAS® CC-GRP pipes are manufactured for a design pressure of 4 times the rated pressure so that even after 50 years of service life it can have a safety factor of 2. 6.2.2 Mechanical Characteristics The HOBAS® Group Plants only use approved raw materials from qualified suppliers which meet the detailed specified requirements. Each type of raw material has to pass process, compound and service relevant requirements set up in the central research department. COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 15 All pipes are subjected to a range of quality control checks including the following: 6.2.2.1 Initial specific ring stiffness - Batch release test Ref: Clause 5.2.1 of ISO 25780: 2011 The HOBAS® pipe design program provides for an initial ring stiffness value higher than the minimum stiffness values specified in the relevant ISO standard. Initial stiffness testing is part of the daily quality control program. First pipe piece for every new project is checked for stiffness before commencing production. The initial specific ring stiffness is determined using a special test method, as it cannot be accurately obtained by calculation using the nominal values for elastic modulus (E) and wall thickness (e). Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 2. HOBAS provided batch release test results for a typical initial ring stiffness test performed on test specimens cut from a section DN2000, PN1, SN32000 and DN2000, PN6, SN40000 pipe. For the SN 32000 N/m2, the initial specific ring stiffness, the average of the test results was 35706 N/m2 and for the PN6, SN40000 N/m2 it was 53787 N/m2 .The values are way higher than the required SN values, so the results were satisfactory. The batch release test results detailed in “Summary of qualification tests of HOBAS CC-GRP Pipe System according to international product standards ISO 10639, ISO 10467 and ISO 25780 for GRP Pipe Systems” confirms the testing system used and shows the pipe met the ISO standards requirement, as specified in ISO 25780. This document has been submitted to WSAA and can be reviewed by contacting the Product Appraisal Manager. 6.2.2.2 Long-term specific Creep Stiffness - Type test Ref: Clause 5.2.2 of ISO 25780:2011 The long-term specific ring stiffness of HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe is checked using the long-term creep stiffness method in accordance with ISO 10467:2004 and ISO 10639:2004 by HOBAS® Engineering GmbH. The documentation for the ongoing long-term tests, initial type tests and raw material assessments were checked during the audits by TUV SUD. The long-term ring stiffness tests were performed on various CC-GRP-UP pipes DN 200 – DN 1400 PN 1 – PN 16 SN 5000 – SN 40000 by independent certification bodies (TÜV, Det Norske Veritas, Austrian Polymer Institute). Compliance of the long-term ring stiffness with the requirements was assessed and confirmed according to the most relevant national and international standards: EN 1796, EN 14364, ISO 10467, ISO 10639, DIN 19565, DIN 16869, BS 5480, ASTM D3262, ASTM D3517, ASTM D3754, AS 3571, AS 3572. The creep factors for HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes resulting from the time-dependent, reversible, visco-elastic material behaviour were determined and reported. Comparisons between laboratory tests according to EN 1225 and ISO 10468 and pipes tested after several years in operation indicate significantly lower creep for buried pipes. Using creep factors for static calculations determined in the laboratory therefore ensure additional safety, as the decrease in the specific ring stiffness of the pipe when properly buried is considerably lower than predicted by the creep test. Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure Chapter 2, for further details. 6.2.2.3 Initial resistance to failure in a deflected condition - Batch release test Ref: Clause 5.2.3 of ISO 25780:2011 The test procedure used is based on ISO 10466 as nominated in ISO 10467. The QC testing involves deflecting the samples as shown in the Table 3 below and conducting a visual inspection for cracks, de-lamination, buckling or failure. COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 16 TABLE 3 INITIAL RESISTANCE TO FAILURE Stiffness Class (SN) Initial ultimate ring deflection (%) Measured mean value DN2000, PN1, SN32,000 7.6 Required >6 Testing of pipes on a regular basis has shown that pipes produced in the HOBAS factory meet the initial resistance to failure requirements of the ISO product standards. Where a pipe fails to comply with this requirement, it is rejected, the cause of failure is identified and production processes reviewed to prevent recurrence. 6.2.3 Resistance of pressure pipes internal pressure - Type test Ref: Clause 5.7 of ISO 25780:2011 - (Specifies ISO 15306 test procedure within ISO 10467 and ISO 10639) The resistance of HOBAS pipes to cyclic internal pressure up to 1 million pressure cycles has been verified through ongoing testing. The requirements of ISO 10639 and ISO 10467 are fulfilled. • Subjecting HOBAS® CC-GRP pipes to 1 million cyclic pressure variations between (0.75 x PN) and (1.25 x PN) and even 0.75 times (1.5 x PN) and 1.25 times (1.5 x PN) did not lead to leakage or any signs of failure. The DN 200 and DN 400 PN 10 as well as the DN 300 PN 16 pipe types show a residual pressure safety of more than 4 after 1 million cycles between (0.75 x PN) and (1.25 x PN). A safety factor of 3 was even measured after 1 million cycles between 0.75 times (1.5 x PN) and 1.25 times (1.5 x PN). Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 5 for details. 6.2.4 Resistance to strain corrosion - Type test Ref: Clause 5.3 of ISO 25780:2011 - Specifies ISO 10467 test procedure The test procedure follows the above mentioned standard. The results are used to calculate the ultimate ring deflection and flexural strain under combined mechanical and chemical attack. A series of strain corrosion tests with acidic and alkaline chemicals was conducted on pipes of different types and manufactured at various production plants to establish the long-term ® (50, 60, and 100 years) resistance of HOBAS CC-GRP Pipe Systems to acid strain corrosion. The results of the various strain corrosion test series are presented in Fig. 36 in HOBAS® CC-GRP Features, Tests and Benefits brochure. The long-term regressions were calculated according to method A in EN 705 and ISO 10928 including failure points of all pipes and led to the following long-term flexural strain at break (Table 14 in HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure). The requirements of product standards ISO 10467, EN 14364 and ASTM D3262 are fulfilled for acidic and alkaline environments. After more than 12 years of strain corrosion testing, HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe Systems, including the standard joint (see also couplings chapter) prove their superior behaviour under combined mechanical loading and chemical attack. The highly advanced design of the HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe System leads to significant advantages compared to other products. The results of the various strain corrosion test series are presented in HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 8. COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 17 The test results show HOBAS pipe complies with the minimum requirement shown in ISO 10467 Table 17: TABLE 4 INITIAL RESISTANCE TO FAILURE Stiffness Calculated deflection % SN 40000 SN32000 7.05 % 7.6 % 5.11 % 6% Allowable Minimum Deflection,% 6.2.5 Joint performance - Type test Ref: Clause 7.5 of ISO 25780:2011 ® Leak tightness and pressure type tests on HOBAS joints/couplings were carried out in the material development department. These tests were witnessed by TUV Industrie Service Germany. The test sequences complied with the requirements of following standards: ISO 8639, EN1119 and based on ASTM D4160. Type tests comply with ISO, EN and ASTM D4161 requirements. The test series under draw, hydrostatic and cyclic pressure were positive. No leakage could be observed during the test with angular deflection and misalignment by shear load. The tests with negative pressure were positive (0.2 bar absolute pressure), no increase in pressure was detected during the test period. The HOBAS® FWC joint meets the compliance requirements of EN 691-1, ISO 8639, EN 1119, and DIN 4060, which ensures that they remain sealed even when deflected and subjected to externally applied lateral loading and/or internal and external hydrostatic pressure, or a combination of those loads. The high contact pressure of the seal on the pipe also may also prevent tree root penetration. Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure Chapter 7 for details. HOBAS CC GRP Jacking pipes are joined using flexible joints with elastomeric seals.

COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 19 6.2.6 Longitudinal compressive strength Ref: Clause 5.4 of ISO 25780:2011 Longitudinal compressive test was performed to determine the longitudinal compressive stress at break for sample DN350 HOBAS CC-GRP jacking pipe. For the DN350 HOBAS CCGRP jacking pipe sample the minimum compressive stress at break is 90 N/mm2. Results obtained were 145 N/mm2 which is much higher than the minimum, proving the sample fulfils the requirements of ISO 25780. 6.2.7 Permissible Jacking Forces Ref: Clause 5.5 ISO 25780:2011 6.2.7.1 General Permissible jacking forces are calculated to determine the force that can be applied to a pipe during the jacking operation. Therefore the declared jacking load, ultimate longitudinal load, the theoretical jacking load (concentric) and the eccentric jacking loads are to be determined. HOBAS used a DN2000, SN 32000, PN1 Jacking Pipe for these results. Therefore the theoretical jacking load (Fj) for the jacking pipe sample used was 26,249kN. Material safety factors (γ) of 1.75 and 3.5 have been used for assessment. 6.2.7.2 Ulitmate Longitudinal Load The ultimate longitudinal load is the calculated value of the concentric longitudinal load that the pipe withstands just before it breaks. This calculated value is used to determine the permissible jacking forces of a jacking pipe. HOBAS tested a DN2000, SN32000 jacking pipe and calculated its ultimate longitudinal load to be Fult =26,249 kN. Therefore the jacking pipe sample tested can withstand a concentric longitudinal load of 26,249kN just before the pipe breaks. 6.2.7.3 Designed Jacking Load and permissible eccentric jacking forces HOBAS has calculated that the theoretical design jacking load as; • Fj,calc = 6549 kN, which gives a Safety Factor of >3.5 HOBAS have calculated the permissible eccentric jacking force on the pipe using the estimated angular deflection to be; HOBAS have declared that the permissible eccentric longitudinal force that the system can withstand during a jacking operation is 6549kN, taking into account the material safety coefficient (γ 1.75) and the estimated angular deflection. Permissible jacking forces were calculated using the methods described in Annex C of ISO 25780 using minimum compression stress at break as 90 N/mm² Fperm = 6549 kN and declared as 6549 kN for sample DN2000, SN32000 Jacking Pipe 6.2.8 Specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus. Clause 5.6 ISO 25780:2011 HOBAS used a DN2000, SN32000, PN1 Jacking Pipe for these results. The specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus expressed as Ec,m is the ratio of the applied stress to the resulting strain below the elastic limit, both measured concurrently during a short term compression test. The specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus, Ec,m, is determined by selecting any point from the performed quality control test data and using strain gauge at the tested specimens. COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 20 A test piece taken from the pipe wall is compressed, at a uniform rate of strain in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, until failure occurs. The ratio of the applied stress to the resulting strain below the elastic limit was calculated to be 113 N/mm2 and is greater than the required 100 N/mm2 6.2.9 Abrasion resistance Ref: DIN 19565 This appraisal assesses the HOBAS CC-GRP pipe system suitability for sewerage applications in accordance with ISO 10467. Pipe systems for sewer and pressure sewer applications can be stressed continuously by mechanical abrasion. In order to determine the abrasion resistance of HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe Systems, several Darmstadt rocker tests were performed. The Darmstadt Rocker test is based on DIN 19565. TABLE 6 AVERAGE ABRASION OF HOBAS ® CC-GRP PIPES. No. of Cycles Abrasion, mm Abrasion safety factor 100,000 0.31 4.3 200,000 0.49 2.6 500,000 0.9 1.5 ® The test results show that the abrasion resistance requirements for HOBAS CC-GRP Systems are fulfilled. The minimum abrasion safety factor is 4.3 after 100,000 cycles, which is considered to be equivalent to an operational lifetime of 50 years according to DIN 19565. Even after 200,000 and 500,000 cycles, the reinforced structural layers are still entirely covered by the liner resin. ® Ref. HOBAS CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits Ch. 9 Note: The abrasion resistance of individual pipeline materials is difficult to determine because test methods do not duplicate the varied abrasion conditions found in sewers. Comparative Darmstadt rocker test results often show performance ratings of plastic pipe materials exceed other harder pipe materials. 6.2.10 Temperature and pressure re-rating This appraisal assesses the temperature and pressure de-rating of HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe systems in accordance with ISO 10467. Temperature and pressure re-rating requirements vary according to the pipeline application and HOBAS ® can provide special resins and rerating for abnormal applications. In general, pipelines carrying liquids up to 35°C and below require no pressure re-rating, but for temperatures above 35°C it is recommended that the design be checked by a HOBAS® Application engineer. 6.2.11 Resistance to Ultraviolet degradation This appraisal assesses the requirement for resistance to ultraviolet degradation of HOBAS CC-GRP pipe systems, in accordance with ISO 10467.

Additional warranties may be negotiated on a project specific basis. 12 WATER AGENCY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT OR FIELD TESTING REPORT HOBAS® CC-GRP pipes have been used by Australian Water Authorities for more than 25 years. No issues with the pipe quality have been encountered. Global Pipe has supplied HOBAS® CC-GRP Jacking pipes to all the major water authorities like Melbourne Water, Yarra Valley Water, South East Water, City West Water, Power and Water (NT), Sydney Water, Water Corporation of WA, Queensland Urban Utilities etc. Details of many international GRP Pipe projects have been supplied by Global Pipe. Details of these projects can be provided upon request. High-pressure water jetting of sewers and drains is being undertaken in the Australia using equipment which, under certain circumstances, can damage the internal surface of the pipe. It is recommended that Operators of high-pressure water jetting equipment comply with HOBAS guidelines while undertaking water jet cleaning of HOBAS® CC-GRP jacking pipes. HOBAS has proved its resistance during water jet studies carried out by Department of Water, Germany. The nozzle impacts did not cause any damage to the pipes. A report titled “Water jet cleaning” submitted to the Program Manager at WSAA is available for WSAA members only. Refer to Appendix A for further information. 13 DISCUSSION Q.1 What fittings and accessories are available to be used with Jacking pipes? Ans. It is common to have transition fittings which are used to connect to the start and end of the pipe to be jacked. Transition fittings may have a filament wound coupling and a stainless steel coupling where one end joins to the jacking pipe and the other to an open trench pipe. HOBAS Transition pipes can be supplied such that there is no step between the Jacking pipe ID and the open trench pipe ID and there is a smooth transition. Rocker pipes/manhole connectors have spigot/spigot connections and a puddle flange fabricated onto the pipe. The puddle flange position can be fabricated in accordance with the pipeline design requirements. All fittings can be supplied with either the Stainless Steel couplings or GRP filament wound couplings. Q.2 What safety factors are used for calculating the allowable Jacking loads on the Superlit CC-GRP Jacking pipes? Why are the safety factors important? Ans from HOBAS: Safety factors are intended to account for any eccentric or point loading that may occur during Jacking. HOBAS uses a safety factor of 1.75 for Relining/sliplining applications due to the fact that these trenchless applications do not require the pipe to take a major compressive load. Based on over 30 years of experience as the developer of CCGRP jacking pipe, HOBAS has determined that a safety factor of 3.5 is needed. This high safety factor is very useful to accommodate ‘unanticipated’ deviations in the jacking alignment which result in eccentric loads and point loads on the jacking pipe. Experience COPYRIGHT WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3 23 dictates that not all bores will be perfectly straight. This may be due to changes in geology (hard ground to softer ground), inconsistencies in ground conditions (eg boulders in soft ground), steering or oversteering of the TBM or planned curves. HOBAS determined very early in their development of CC-GRP jacking pipe that a safety of 1.75 was not adequate. 14 LIFE EXPECTANCY Global Pipe had engaged GHD for a Durability assessment of HOBAS® pipe, and it infers that a HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe will have a design life of 100+ years. Long term testing results have also been extrapolated to 100+ years design life. Refer to Appendix A for information on how to access a copy of the GHD Report for HOBAS Pipe Durability Assessment. In addition the ISO 7509 tested regression characteristics of GRP (as used by HOBAS to manufacture CC-GRP jacking pipe) together with the long term safety factors applied to the probability of failure at 50 years at a lower confidence level of 97.5% suggest that the pipe is likely to perform successfully beyond a 100 year operating life. 15 REPORT RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that WSAA members and associates, subject to any specific requirements of the member or associate, accept or authorise the HOBAS® CC GRP jacking pipes and couplings as detailed in this report for use in non-pressure sewerage applications subject to the design, installation and commissioning in accordance with specifications provided by pipe manufacturer and relevant WSAA Sewerage Code or WSAA Members or Associated Members integrated WSAA Code editions.
