Summary

Aging water mains leak more, leak quieter, and have higher risks of catastrophic failure. Leaks alone are poor indicators of a pipe’s structural condition. Over 70% of water mains are being replaced prematurely, wasting precious capital. Many utilities are adopting Acoustic Pipe Wall Thickness Testing to improve decisions about pipeline renewal, and improve water efficiency at the same time. The presentation includes case studies from utilities, industrial sites, and campus environments.
