Pipe System Acronyms

Transcription

1 Pipe System Acronyms Acroynms for pipe and lining systems for new works and renewal works have been prepared by the WSAA Infrastructure Products and s (IPAM)) Network for the purposes of promoting standardisation throughout the Australian urban water industry. For the purposes of managing asset information, each unique asset is appropriately stored with unique asset numbers or tags. Principal attributes for each unique asset are then defined and stored against the unique asset number. Describing these attributes in fields within databases using acronyms achieves simplicity of representation of attributes, removes conflicting multiple identification of same attribute types and thus improves interrogation and analysis capabilities. A unique asset thus can have its principal attributes identified with a compact string. Identification of important pipe asset attributes in this manner is now done with the identification strings that manufacturers are required by water industry standards to mark on pipe and fittings. There are many advantages in having common attribute descriptors and acronyms used, throughout the Australian urban water industry. These include ease of recognition, less confusion in communication between water industry practitioners and more accurate and useful analysis and research of asset condition and performance. One of the most important advantages of the use of common attribute descriptors and acronyms is the capability to allow water agencies to share and pool condition and performance information and thus advance the understanding of asset performance and the accuracy of asset performance predictive modeling for long term planning.

5 Pipe Identification Strings (Suggested Format) WSAA Infrastructure Products and s Network Water Supply - Pipe Classification Criteria For single pipe asset identification strings, the following ordering of unique identifiers is recommended Pipe size, pipe material, pipe lining (if applicable), external coating (if applicable), pipe class (if applicable), pressure class (if applicable), stiffness class (if applicable), jointing method, pipe length, pipe use descriptor (if applicable), year of installation. For replacement pipe systems, repeat the same description system followed by the replacement technique. Further data that may be captured for identification would be pipe manufacturer and pipe trade name. Issue 5 Page 5 of July 2007
