VIDEO: The Essential Elements of Pipeline Condition Assessment

The traditional mindset around managing buried infrastructure was to build it and, essentially, forget about it until the end of its useful life — that mindset is changing. In this new edition of Water Finance & Management Conversations, Paul Acosta, Principal Condition Assessment Specialist at Xylem, walks us through some of the essential elements of a pipeline condition assessment program and how understanding a utility’s asset management and workflow are key.

Drawing on his previous experience with Tucson Water, Acosta also shares some in-the-field tips for what utilities can do — and what they should be thinking about — on a regular basis to be more proactive with pipeline inspection, identifying corrosion hotspots and refining a pipeline criticality list.
