Validation of a Decision Support System for Method Selection in Utility Construction
The decision of how to accomplish the installation or repair of a buried pipe in an urban environment involves tangible and intangible parameters. This paper outlines the development and implementation of comprehensive, yet straightforward and easy to use interactive software for the evaluation of alternative construction methods that can be employed in the installation or replacement of buried pipes and conduits. The software emphasizes simplicity and practicality, and limits input data to those readily available to utility engineers at the design stage of the project. The program takes into account extensive performance data for 20 new construction methods and 6 in-line replacement methods commonly used in utility projects, and was designed to raise awareness and provide guidance to the utilization of trenchless technology methods across the buried utilities arena. This paper focus on the validation phase of the model development, reporting the results of a comparison of the model's predictions with the outcome of five case histories, which cover a wide range of project requirements, soil conditions and environmental constraints.
