Automated Assessment Technologies for Sanitary Sewer Evaluation
It is estimated that there are over 4.2 billion feet of wastewater pipelines in the U.S with an estimated value of $1.0 trillion. The anticipated rehabilitation needs to upgrade this system exceeds $34 billion, where as the current annual spending for wastewater rehabilitation is approximately $1.0 billion. One of the main reasons for this dilemma is because prior to the 1980's sanitary sewer rehabilitation was primarily limited to replacement by parallel construction and very little rehabilitation work was done. Due to the advancement in technology new cost effective methods have been developed for inspection and rehabilitation of wastewater systems, which have made the rehabilitation and maintenance a cost effective alternative to replacement/new construction. In recent years, research efforts have concentrated on developing systems that can not only collect accurate relevant data for sanitary sewers but also use this data to make intelligent, cost effective decisions regarding the rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the network. This paper presents two state-of-the art technologies for automated assessment of underground sanitary sewer pipelines.
