1. A pipe assembly defining an axial direction parallel to a central axis of the pipe assembly, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the pipe assembly comprising:
(a) a pipe shell defining an inner wall;
(b) a liner that lines the inner wall of the pipe shell, and defines an inner wall of the pipe assembly; and
(c) at least one anchor member that is attached to the pipe shell, extends from the inner wall of the pipe shell, and is embedded within the liner; wherein the at least one anchor member retains the liner against the pipe shell to inhibit slurry flow induced delamination of the liner from the pipe shell.
