Washington’s suburban water utility is faced with the critical challenge of old and failing infrastructure driven by corrosion of metal pipes. 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.
