One Voice for Sewer Condition Assessment and Asset Management
The purpose of this paper is to present a collaborative effort between the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) and Oklahoma State University (OSU). This effort is known as one-voice and the goal is to develop a unified national inventory of underground sewer condition assessment data. Currently there is no uniform or consistent means of sharing sewer data on an industry wide basis. The outcomes of one-voice will allow sewer stakeholders to have access to existing sewer condition data from across the nation. One-voice may also be used to justify additional or new funding for sewer infrastructure from local, state, and federal agencies as well as to develop in-depth understanding of pipe deterioration mechanism. The focus of this paper is to report the progress-to-date of one-voice with the emphasis on the development of data quality protocols based on the four existing pipe inspection datasets collected across the nation. In addition, this paper identified problematic issues with current commercial pipe rating software certified by the pipeline assessment and certification program (PACP), including compatibility issues and pipe rating indexes. The rating systems in the current PACP certified data collection software underestimates pipe ratings in some cases. The contribution of the paper to the body of knowledge is a new data quality assurance process that ensures high quality sewer inspection data available for analysis.
