Comparative Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Trenchless Cured-in-Place Pipe, Pipe Bursting, SAPL, and Sliplining Renewal Methods for Pipeline Systems
Publication: Pipelines 2022
ABSTRACT
With aging, pipelines have become prone to structural failures, blockages, and overflows, which need immediate attention. Compared with conventional open-cut methods, trenchless technologies are cost-effective solutions for renewal of deteriorated pipelines. The development of infrastructure, concerns about impacts on environmental, and economic trends are affecting society, resulting in the advancement of technology for an eco-friendly and cost-effective pipeline rehabilitation. The objective of this paper is to compare life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) and life cycle assessment of spray applied pipe liners (SAPL), cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), sliplining, and pipe bursting methods using literature review and case studies. The results of this study will provide an estimate of not just the capital and installation costs, but indirect costs of these methods based on their design life to choose a particular technique for various project conditions.
