Funded Activity Summary
High-resolution pipeline condition assessment using hydraulic transients. This project aims to develop urgently needed non-invasive methods to assess fine detail of a pipe’s condition and allow ‘just in time’ predictive repair. Water distribution networks are society's most important infrastructure asset. They consist of buried pipes that are often old and deteriorating, and annual maintenance overhead exceeds $1 billion per year in Australia alone. The project will develop cost-effective powerful tools to identify faults, such as pipe wall corrosion and blockages, while allowing operational continuity. The expected outcome is high-resolution images of wall condition of pipes using high-frequency pressure transients and sophisticated fibre optic sensor arrays.Funded Activity Details
