Abstract
The Rampart Raw Water Pipeline Phase III consists primarily of 54-inch-diameter Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) manufactured by the Concrete Pipe Division of United States Pipe and Foundry Company in 1980. Inspection efforts have focused on 4.25 miles of 54-inch PCCP and have included Remote Field Eddy Current/Transformer Coupling (RFTC) internal pipe inspections by the Pressure Pipe Inspection Company (PPIC) in 2000, 2002, and 2006 and P-Wave electromagnetic inspection by Pure Technologies, Inc. (Pure) in 2008. This paper presents a comparison of the RFTC and P-Wave inspections, including similarities, differences, and an explanation of why the results vary, depending on the testing method.
