1.0: INTRODUCTION This report forms part of a project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to study and support technology development for the rehabilitation of water distribution and wastewater collection systems. During the early stages of this project, the need for a quantitative, retrospective evaluation of the performance of pipe rehabilitation systems emerged. Pipe rehabilitation and trenchless pipe replacement technologies have seen a steadily increasing use over the past 30 to 40 years and represent an increasing proportion of the approximately $25 billion annual expenditure on operations and maintenance of the nation’s water and wastewater infrastructure (EPA, 2002). Despite the massive public investment represented by the use of these technologies, there has been little formal and quantitative evaluation of whether they are performing as expected and whether rehabilitation is indeed cost-effective compared to replacement. The need for such information was reinforced by the participants at an international technology forum held as part of the project activities in September 2008. It was noted at the forum that the City of Montreal and a number of cities in Germany have already engaged in efforts to revisit previous rehabilitation projects to characterize their level of in-service performance to assess any evidence of deterioration (Sterling et al., 2009). Information collected on these and other international experiences with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liners are included in this report. The major reasons for interest in a retrospective evaluation of pipe rehabilitation systems are: • The biggest data gap in asset management for pipeline systems involving rehabilitation is prediction of the remaining asset life for the existing pipe and how long rehabilitation techniques can extend that life. Municipalities have expressed a strong desire for some hard data on the current condition of previously installed systems to validate or correct the assumptions made at the time of rehabilitation. • Since several of the major pipe lining techniques have now been in use for at least 15 years (some nearly 30 years in the U.S. and 40 years internationally), it is a good time to undertake such an investigation to assess whether the originally planned lifetime (typically assumed to be 50 years) is reasonable based on the current condition of the liner. The outcome of an effective evaluation would be to address one of the largest unknowns in terms of decision-making for engineers carrying out life-cycle cost/benefit evaluations and to facilitate the sharing of lining performance data among municipalities in a systematic and transferable manner. This type of evaluation can provide answers to the question “How long can I extend the life of the asset if I rehabilitate it instead of replacing it?” but can also start to fill one of the biggest gaps in knowledge about rehabilitation technologies that exists today – their expected lifetimes under a variety of installation and service conditions. Evaluating rehabilitation technologies that have already been in service for a significant length of time could provide data that could be used immediately by other municipalities (e.g., what properties/defects are critical; what accelerates deterioration) and could establish benchmarks for vendors against which they can improve their products (i.e., it could become a driver for achieving excellence). It is an opportune time for such a concerted push in terms of evaluation because there has been a significant time in service for many technologies and there is a continued strong investment in the use of the technologies across the U.S. While the long-term goal of the retrospective evaluation effort is to provide significant and credible feedback on performance to the system owners and the engineers who specify rehabilitation and replacement, a few isolated evaluations of projects with a variety of existing and service conditions 1
