An innovative wave-shaped steel piping promises to enhance the durability of water and oil pipes that traverse earthquake prone fault lines.
The piping which has undergone testing by engineers at Cornell University proved effective at staying intact under pressure.
The steel pipe was developed by Japan’s JFE Holdings.
The pipes wave shape allows it to bend and compress when subjected to heavy force, as opposed to bursting as other conventional pipes do under pressure.
