Computer Aided Rehabilitation of Sewer and Storm Water Networks
Sewer and storm water systems in cities worldwide suffer from insufficient capacity, construction failures and pipe deterioration. The consequences are structural damage and local floods leading to inflow of water into basements, traffic disturbances, street and surface erosion, and pollution of local receiving waters. This is the background for a project in the 5th Framework Programme in EU, Computer Aided Rehabilitation of Sewers and Storm water networks (CARE-S). The project objective is to establish a rational framework for sewer network rehabilitation decision-making. CARE-S is aimed to improve the structural and functional reliability of the wastewater networks (risk of in- and exfiltration, collapse and blockage due to pipe deterioration, hydraulic overloading resulting in flooding and/or receiving water pollution). This is combined with the analysis and, where necessary, upgrading of the network capacity to take care of runoff from rainstorms and snow melt in urban areas. The ultimate product will be a Decision Support System (DSS) that will enable municipal engineers to establish and maintain effective management of their sewer networks. In other words: Rehabilitate the right sewer at the right time by using the right rehabilitation technique at a minimum total cost, before serious failures occur (pro-active approach).
