Manhole Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation

CATT logo
Inflow and infiltration solutions have been discussed extensively for sanitary and storm sewers; however, these measures may be limited if manhole chambers are neglected. This workshop will address the growing problem of manhole deterioration.

Christian Stamm, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag)

How combining real-world data with experimental surveys — both upstream and downstream of wastewater treatment plants — help reveal the drivers of ecological change.

Part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series.

Condition Assessment & Rehab of Asbestos Cement Pipelines

CATT logo
In the past, asbestos cement pipes have been frequently installed in water distribution systems. These pipes were favoured to replace metallic pipes because of relatively better corrosion resistance properties. However, the longevity and serviceability of deteriorating asbestos cement pipes is a major concern in many jurisdictions.

Using Open-Access GIS to Address Issues in Spatial Hydrological Modelling

Digital elevation models (DEMs) are a primary data input for many applications in spatial hydrology and geomorphology. DEMs are commonly used to delineate watersheds, to map landforms and soils, to analyze stream networks, and to model variable source areas, surface runoff and flooding, erosion, and contaminant migration. The past decades have been marked by significant improvements in the quality, spatial resolution, and availability of DEM data sources.

Watermain Defect Coding, Condition Grading and Renovation

CATT logo
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.
