Abstract
Characterizing the condition of buried infrastructure for wastewater system is an important aspect for our environment. This paper presents a better methodology to predict the condition of buried infrastructure and subsequently plan for the necessary repairs to rehabilitate the city's sanitary system. This research compares existing condition assessment grading systems used by the industry. The proposed approach will benefit municipalities by identifying critical reaches of buried infrastructure, therefore reducing the number of inspections, and as a result, reducing emergency repair and rehabilitation by planning expenditures in advance.
