| Synopsis: |
According to the 2004 WERF survey, 7.5% of wastewater collection system assets are force mains. Traditionally, most utilities have relied on a reactive approach to managing their force main assets. The main reason for this approach is the difficulties associated with force main condition assessment, which requires the force main to be taken out of service for inspection - a major limitation. Moreover, providing a bypass pumping during inspection is typically very expensive. Furthermore, the limited proven technologies available to determine pipe wall thickness and defects are part of the critical gaps associated with force mains inspection. With advancements in inspection technologies, utilities are beginning to take a proactive approach to managing their force main assets. The foundation of risk management of pipeline infrastructure is based on estimating the likelihood and consequence of failure for the assets in the network. This will allow the development of a renewal strategy to prioritize the force main assets through risk analysis. A synthesis of force main condition assessment, inspection practices and renewal strategies through literature and practice reviews is provided in this report. This report also provides a comprehensive force main infrastructure asset management guideline. The objectives of this research project are:* Provide a review of the characteristics of the force main networks and the causes of failures in force mains.* Provide a review of the utility inspection practices and technologies associated with force mains. * Provide a review of the practices regarding the condition assessment and risk management of force mains. |
