Leak Detection and Condition Assessment of Large Diameter Pipelines.

Utilities are under increased pressure to maintain their buried assets. Large diameter water and wastewater mains are a critical component of the pipeline infrastructure. Given the consequence of failure of large diameter pipelines, it is prudent for a utility to consider a condition assessment program to prioritize rehabilitation and maintenance requirements for these critical pipelines. This webinar will discuss leak detection and condition assessment technologies that have been successfully used for large diameter water and wastewater pressure pipelines.

PVC Pipe - The Choice When Performance Counts

A key element in any infrastructure project is the pipe material itself. Trenchless Technology and Underground Infrastructure Management along with IUPUI are hosting Pipe Selection Webinars throughout 2008 designed to help you decide which type of pipe is best for your particular purpose/application.

Please join us for the first event of the series featuring Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe. Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association will be presenting this session and will cover trenchless applications, developments/new technologies, pros and limitations, design life, how it is joined and much more.

Preventing Pipeline Backups by Eliminating Roots, Fats, Oils and Grease

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “pipeline root intrusion is the single most destructive element involved in maintaining a wastewater collection system.” Root intrusion, along with a build up of fats, oils and grease—collectively known as FOG—are the leading causes of wastewater system backups. This Webinar will show the different preventive maintenance treatments municipal wastewater crews can use to get rid of intruding roots, break down FOG, and prevent future blockages.

Condition Assessment of Pipelines Help Owners make Good Decisions

Given the age of many large diameter transmission water and wastewater mains, many municipalities are faced with the potential of major financial costs and disruptions to the overall system due to the failure of these transmission pipelines. Condition assessment of these pipelines applied to an effective asset management program enables the owners and operators to anticipate and selectively minimize these financial and service supply burdens while extending the life of these critical assets through engineered rehabilitation and maintenance.
