China's Municipal Pipelines: Today and Tomorrow
Publication: Pipelines 2013: Pipelines and Trenchless Construction and Renewals—A Global Perspective
Abstract
Urbanization in the People's Republic of China increased in speed following the initiation of the reform and opening policy. By the end of 2011, mainland China had a total urban population of 691 million (or 51.3% of the total population), rising from 26% in 1990. With rapid urbanization, China's municipal pipeline is facing a serious challenge and sees a great increase during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (from 2011 to 2015). This paper will present the status of China's municipal pipelines (including water, sewer, city gas, etc.) and the government's plans to improve the municipal pipeline systems (such as new pipeline construction and pipeline rehabilitation), which will bring great business opportunity for the pipeline suppliers and contractors. As well, the research and technical needs to meet the demand of China's municipal pipeline construction and rehabilitation will be discussed in this paper.
