Large Diameter Pipeline Asset Management
As the population of the metropolitan areas in the United States continues to grow, the reliability of large diameter (>24 inches in diameter) water transmission pipelines become more critical than ever. In this presentation, we will discuss best practices for maintaining their life cycle through condition assessment and proactive repair and renewal of various pipeline materials and types. This presentation will also provide insight into how different pipeline materials degrade over time and highlight case histories from different utilities around the country.
