ABSTRACT
The complexity of piping at a typical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) should never be underestimated. Owners must employ strategic decision-making skills to allocate a portion of their limited resources to determining the condition of piping. Factors such as temperature, pressure, material being conveyed, flow velocity, and solids content play a much larger role in the overall condition of the piping in a WWTP than age of the piping itself. The consequence of failure for each pipe may vary regarding impacts on the overall operation of a WWTP. This must be considered when prioritization is used to systematically evaluate piping systems plant-wide. This paper will present and discuss several approaches to formulating a strategic asset management strategy while considering and prioritizing data around risk analysis and condition assessment.
