Abstract
AbstractCondition assessment of wastewater collection systems is a vital part of a utility’s asset management program. Reliable information on pipe condition is needed to prioritize rehabilitation and replacement projects, given the current state of our nation’s infrastructure. Although inspections with conventional closed-circuit television (CCTV) have been the mainstay of pipeline condition assessment for decades, other technologies are now commercially available. Five of these innovative technologies were selected for field trials under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) demonstration program: zoom camera, electroscanning, digital scanning, laser profiling, and sonar. The goal of the field demonstration was to evaluate the technical performance and cost of these technologies. The field demonstration was conducted in August 2010 and was hosted by the Kansas City, Missouri Water Services Department. The innovative technologies were compared to CCTV inspection. Each technology identified mai...
