<p>The paper discusses existing reinforcement, future reinforcement and new technologies for concrete pipes used in the sewage systems. Concrete pipes currently in use and under investigation are reviewed. Structural fibres, as the main reinforcement of concrete pipes, are known as an attractive alternative to the traditional steel bars. Steel, synthetic and basalt fibres have been considered. The latest research and mechanical properties of individual fibres are presented. Advances in fibre-reinforced concrete provide a new basis for the design of more efficient concrete pipes, especially those resistant to biological corrosion and with a longer service life. In the article, future non-corrosive reinforcement due to the reduction of steel reinforcement and corrosion protection linings has been proposed.</p>
