    There are these linings that are deployed into old pipes, which would be otherwise costly to replace.
    I wonder if there’s a legitimate reason this technique couldn’t be used here.
    It is possible those only work for smaller diameter pipes.

      Costly, sure. But easy. There’s no design or engineering challenge here.

      We just need to assess fines greater than the cost of replacement, and it’ll happen.

      The only pipelines we should be putting in the ground are for clean water and sanitation. Lots of jobs to be had. Can’t find the funding? Take it from the military. Easy.
