Abstract

The project developed a manual of practice for condition assessment (CA) and related evaluations of small diameter (12" and smaller) ductile iron pipes in order to help utilities assess their pipe inventories and identify those pipes most in need of renewal. This work was based on what is available now in terms of CA technologies and includes information about costs, capabilities, and limitations of each technology. Published in 2018.
