Movable systems and methods for making pipe, e.g., non-metallic pipe, either for stand-alone use as produced or for use as a pipe liner, the pipe made at a site at which it is to be used; and, in certain aspects, a transportable factory for simultaneous mobile field manufacturing and installation for making pipe, e.g., reinforced thermoplastic composite pipe, either for stand-alone use or for use as a pipe liner, the pipe made, in one aspect, at a site of use of the pipe. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b).

1. A system for making pipe, the system comprising a plurality of apparatuses for making a nonmetallic reinforced pipe, the pipe made by the system comprising a base pipe with at least one additional component applied thereto, the base pipe having a first end, a second end, and an unobstructed flow
1. A system for making pipe, the system comprising a plurality of apparatuses for making a nonmetallic reinforced pipe, the pipe made by the system comprising a base pipe with at least one additional component applied thereto, the base pipe having a first end, a second end, and an unobstructed flow channel therethrough,each apparatus of the plurality of apparatuses connected to another of the apparatuses or between two apparatuses,each apparatus connected with a connector that permits relative motion between connected apparatuses, andthe system comprising a movable system, andthe plurality of apparatuses comprising handling apparatus and application apparatus,the handling apparatus for receiving the base pipe, andthe application apparatus for applying the at least one additional component onto the base pipe, the base pipe's flow channel unobstructed during said application. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is mobile and further comprises a prime mover,a first apparatus connected to the prime mover and to another of the apparatuses, andthe first apparatus connected to the prime mover with a connector that permits relative motion of the first apparatus with respect to the prime mover. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein each apparatus is articulable with respect to each apparatus connected thereto to facilitate movement of the system over varying surfaces. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is transportable at a site that is a site of use of the pipe that is made by the system. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the pipe is reinforced thermoplastic composite pipe. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein the pipe includes the base pipe comprising a core pipe made of temperature-resistant corrosion-resistant material,at least one strengthening wrap around the pipe,a plurality of spaced-apart pulling tapes positioned longitudinally on the pipe,at least one sensor on the pipe,a protective outer cover on the pipe,the pipe comprising a stand-alone pipe,the at least one strengthening wrap, the plurality of spaced-apart pulling tapes, the at least one sensor, and the protective outer cover comprising additional components,the system comprising application apparatuses for applying the additional components to the base pipe with the base pipe's flow channel unobstructed during said applications. 7. The system of claim 6 further comprising the plurality of apparatuses includingan apparatus for positioning the pipe,an apparatus for applying the at least one strengthening layer on the pipe,an apparatus for applying the spaced-apart pulling tapes on the pipe,an apparatus for applying the at least one sensor on the pipe, andan apparatus for applying the protective outer cover on the pipe. 8. The system of claim 7 further comprising a control system for controlling the plurality of apparatuses. 9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of enclosures for protecting the apparatuses, personnel, and a control system. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is movable as the system produces the pipe, the system leaving pipe made by the system behind as the system moves on producing pipe. 11. The system of claim 1 further comprising apparatus for applying to the pipe a barrier to inhibit fluid permeation with respect to the pipe. 12. The system of claim 1 wherein the pipe comprises a stand-alone pipe for lining an existing pipe. 13. A system for making a pipe, the system comprising apparatus for removing an existing pipe from a trench,apparatus for introducing a pipe made by the system back into the trench, the pipe made by the system including the existing pipe,apparatus for applying at least one additional component to the existing pipe following removal of the existing pipe from the trench,each apparatus connected to another of the apparatuses or between two apparatuses,each apparatus connected with a connector that permits relative motion between connected apparatuses, and the system comprising a movable system, a prime mover,an apparatus connected to the prime mover and to another of the apparatuses, andthe apparatus connected to the prime mover connected with a connector that permits relative motion of said apparatus with respect to the prime mover. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the at least one additional component comprises one of tape, wrap, treatment material, cover and instrumentation. 15. The system of claim 13 further comprising an apparatus for positioning the pipe,an apparatus for applying the at least one strengthening layer on the pipe,an apparatus for applying the spaced-apart pulling tapes on the pipe,an apparatus for applying the at least one sensor on the pipe, an apparatus for applying the protective outer cover on the pipe. 16. The system of claim 13 comprising a plurality of trailers and wherein each apparatus is on a movable trailer. 17. The system of claim 16 wherein the trailers are connected and articulable with respect to each other. 18. The system of claim 13 further comprising movement apparatus for moving the pipe through the other apparatuses. 19. The system of claim 13 further comprising a prime mover for moving the apparatuses.
