Pipe Fault Prediction for Water Transmission Mains

Condition assessment of metallic water mains by internal pipe inspection

Breivoll Inspection Technologies (BIT) has successfully developed and implemented a new in-pipe inspection method for the condition assessment of metallic water mains, mainly cast iron. The method is based on Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART). The inspection data (acoustic signals) are stored on a hard drive prior to undertaking the detailed analysis back at the office. The assessment results...

Prediction of Water Mains Failure - A Bayesian Approach

To develop an effective preventive or proactive repair and replacement action plan, water utilities often rely on water main failure prediction models. However, in the prediction modeling water mains failure, uncertainty is inherent regardless of quality and quantity of data used in model-data fusion. To improve the understanding of water main failure processes, a new and effective Bayesian fra...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Risk Assessment for Water Mains Using Fuzzy Approach

The concept of responding to the risk of water pipelines failure has been undergoing through a great change from being active to being proactive to failure events by planning for rehabilitation plans that maintain the water main in good working conditions. This paper designs a framework to evaluate the risk of water main failure using hierarchal fuzzy expert system. There are sixteen risk-of-fa...
