The importance of wastewater force main management
Condition assessment and management of wastewater force mains has historically been challenging for operators. Conventional methods (e.g. visual inspection, sonar and laser profiling) do not provide a comprehensive condition assessment because they do not quantify the loss of structural capacity. As WEFTEC 2013 in Chicago approaches, Pure will outline the most effective steps for creating and ...

Wastewater Force Main Management – Condition Data Analysis and Risk Assessment
Armed with extensive preliminary analysis and actionable data collected through condition assessment, utility operators are able to make defensible decisions about their force mains. In the last part of our wastewater force main management series, we look at how operators can take a bulk in information to make risk-based decisions about their assets. When evaluating how to safely and effectively ...

Comparison of the inspector and rating protocol uncertainty influence in the condition rating of sewers
Wastewater drainage systems asset management decisions, in particular regarding rehabilitation interventions, are largely dependent on close-circuit television (CCTV) inspection results. However, the results of CCTV inspections are affected by several sources of uncertainty. Within the present communication, the inspector's uncertainty is quantified by comparing periodic inspection ...
