The most widely used infiltration process is the one in which the porous skeleton has an iron or steel composition and the infiltrant is copper or copper alloy.... The usual method of infiltrating iron and steel skeletons is to place a compact pressed from the powder of the infiltrant material next to the skeleton. The compact of infiltrant powder may be positioned on top or underneath the skeleton compact or two infiltrant compacts may be used, one on top, the other underneath the skeleton compact. 1, record 1, English, - infiltrant%20powder

There may be several strings of casing in a well, one inside the other.

An entirely different approach to conductive concrete is being taken by Jim Beaudouin at the Institute for Research and Construction in Ottawa. Adding carbon fibre to concrete is expensive. His approach is to use a conductive aggregate instead. The substance in question is porous carbon, a form of coke that is a by-product of steel making.
