Techniques for Monitoring Structural Behaviour of Pipeline Systemsby Christopher Reed
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This project did a thorough review of the potential techniques which could monitor the structural performance of operationally critical mains (those 30"or 760mm in diameter and larger) of potable water distribution systems. The objective was to increase effective pipeline management as it relates to predictive failure. Parameters studied were global , local and environmental monitoring and the technologies studies were continuous, remote and in-pipe sensing. Gathering data from range of different sensors(aircraft, satellites, within and on pipes) proved the most optimal , with the understanding that further study of newer methods is recommended. Book News Annotation:Prepared by engineers, statisticians, and consultants, this report
analyzes techniques which could be used to continuously monitor the
structural performance of potable water distribution systems,
especially water mains larger than 30 inches in diameter. Critical
parameters are identified, potential technologies considered, and
their suitability evaluated. Selection criteria and implementation
are addressed, and a methodology for pipeline management is proposed.
Specific chapters discuss pipeline requirements, monitoring and
surveillance technology, continuous sensing, periodic monitoring, in-
pipe monitoring, remote sensing, aircraft and satellite based
imagery, and the integration of technologies and decision support
methodologies. There is no index.
