Webinar Summary
As the population of the metropolitan areas in the United States continues to grow, the reliability of large diameter water pipelines become more critical than ever. Over the past decade comprehensive asset management programs for pipelines have evolved and become more prevalent among owners with high water treatment and delivery demands. This webinar provides detailed information regarding the key inspection and repair methods used for large diameter concrete and metallic pipelines. It also provides up to date information on material selection, design best practices, installation and quality control for a variety of repair systems including external post-tensioning, CFRP and hybrid systems. Attendees learn valuable information about inspection and rehabilitation, and how these critical components of asset management programs help increase the reliability of drinking water systems.
