Valves: The Key to Success in Pipeline Condition Assessment
Publication: Pipelines 2023
ABSTRACT
Valves are critical to system reliability and emergency response, especially as pipelines age. In any condition assessment project, if you cannot properly control the flow of water, then performing any pipeline assessment work will become difficult or impossible. However, with proper valve assessment, valve operability can be verified to ensure proper shutdown prior to pipeline assessment work. This paper will discuss the types of valve assessment and present a case study of the Glendale prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) Transmission Main Assessment Project, where valve assessment and pipeline condition assessment were successfully coupled.
