Water & Wastewater Pipeline Condition Assessment

Pure Technologies provides water and wastewater organizations a comprehensive suite of technologies to better understand the condition of pipe to enable proactive managment.

Types of Pipe

These technologies have been designed to meet a wide variety of project contraints providing the most comprehensive data on pipeline condition.

	Electromagnetic Inspection Electromagnetic inspection technology accurately establishes the baseline condition of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP) by detecting and quantifying the number of breaks in prestressing wire.
	Leak Detection Pure’s leak detection systems are non-destructive, in-line tools that can detect leaks and gas pockets in operational pipelines. These systems are used primarily on larger diameter water and pressurized wastewater mains of all materials as well as oil & gas pipelines.
	PCCP Wire Break Monitoring Providing real-time critical data of a prestressed pipeline allows the asset owner to effectively monitor changes in structural integrity and identify necessary improvements.
	Near Real-Time Risk Assessment An online management system that integrates pipeline condition data with fiber optic monitoring data to manage risk.
	Pressure Transient Monitoring Engineers and utility operators are increasingly concerned that transient and surge pressures are adversely affecting the condition of their pipelines. The pressure transient monitoring system can accurately record and plot detailed pressure information that can be used to improve current pipeline operation practices.
	Visual and Sounding Inspections Visual and sounding inspections are used to quickly identify PCCP pipes in the state of incipient failure. These inspections also provide a detailed as-built laying schedule, carefully documenting the condition of joints and other pipeline defects.
	Robotic Inspections Modular remotely-operated robotic vehicles for inspecting virtually any water or wastewater pipeline applications.

Proactive pipeline condition assessment programs are now at the heart of many municipalities long-term maintenance programs – for new and existing pipelines. Utility personnel and others working to preserve their infrastructure are understanding and utilizing the benefits of advanced electromagnetics, leak detection and monitoring technologies to assess the condition of pipelines and take the proper precautions in making repairs.
