The
workshop
will
present
a
standardized
defect
coding,
condition
classification
and
grading
system
for
water
distribution
pipelines.
The
condition
coding
and
classification
protocol
is
developed
to
identify,
characterize,
and
report
various
types
of
anomalies,
defects
and
construction
features
that
can
impact
water
pipelines’
structural
and
operational
(hydraulic
and
water
quality)
performance.
Furthermore,
the
workshop
will
discuss
the
failure
modes
and
mechanisms
for
metallic
(ductile
iron,
cast
iron,
steel),
plastic
(PE
and
PVC),
and
asbestos
cement
watermains.
The
workshop
will
conclude
with
the
presentation
on
the
selection
of
suitable
renovation
and
replacement
techniques
that
take
into
account
the
water
main
condition
as
well
as
other
factors
(financial,
social,
etc.).
