Washington’s suburban water utility is faced with the critical challenge of old and failing infrastructure driven by corrosion of metal pipes. McKissack & McKissack assisted with the evaluation and recommendation of new and emerging technologies for water main condition assessment.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission is developing a Condition Assessment Program for metallic water mains. The specific tasks include recommending pipeline condition assessment technologies in leak detection, air/gas pockets, pipe wall deterioration, corrosion, structural integrity and soil or material condition surrounding the pipe.
