Data Collection and Management
Publication: Water Pipeline Condition Assessment
Abstract
Individual pipeline and overall pipeline program data must be collected and managed over the life of the pipeline. A pipeline system may be fairly simple, allowing documents to be tracked with spreadsheets, or quite complex, requiring the use of a document management system, geographic information system (GIS), or other database. Pipeline condition assessment is an important part of a water utility’s asset management program. Each time a pipeline is investigated, whether for a planned inspection, condition assessment testing, or a failure (such as a leak or ruptured pipe section), a report should be prepared. Report complexity varies from a routine checklist to a full root cause failure analysis. Major condition assessment and failure reports generally require much more time, effort, and expense to prepare.
