Utility Infrastructure Rehabilitation
This manual provides information on a number of techniques for rehabilitating underground utility systems and for improving the management of private utility services. Utility infrastructure elements addressed include water distribution piping and equipment, sanitary sewers, pumping stations, storm drains, and gas distribution piping. The structure of the rehabilitation program, including program organization and assessment of physical and capacity conditions, is explored. Techniques for evaluating the physical condition of each type of utility system are presented. These include leak detection methods for water pipelines, inspection methods for sewers, and methods for analyzing gas system leaks and electrical system reliability. Guidelines for deciding whether to rehabilitate, repair, or replace are provided, and issues such as life cycle costing and financing methods are discussed. Pipeline rehabilitation methods applicable to water, gas, sanitary sewers, and storm drains are analyzed, and basic information on electrical system rehabilitation is supplied. Finally, methods for improving solid waste management activity, including better storage and collection, are described. Included are 110 figures, 40 tables, and 55 references; the appendix contains an example of a pipeline rehabilitation cost estimate.
