Abstract
This paper describes the development, application, testing and results of a continuous acoustic monitoring system used to detect and locate corrosion-induced failures in approximately 1,800m (6,000 feet) of 105cm (42 inch) prestressed concrete pipe owned and operated by Howard County Maryland, Department of Public Works. A SoundPrint® acoustic monitoring system was installed to assess and analyze the condition of this and other critical potable water conduits. The results of this evaluation and subsequent excavation to confirm deterioration detected by the system are discussed.
