PROGRAM MANAGEMENT INEERING Pipeline Asset Management: From Assessment to Prioritized Projects List TAWWA / WEAT Summer Seminar July 28, 2011 PLANN NING ENG Andrew Hunt, PE Asset Management Project Manager Large Diameter Infrastructure Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc.
Why Pipeline Asset Management? Many Major Pipelines are Reaching their Useful Life Recent High Profile Catastrophic Failures Strained CIP Budgets GASB Statement 34 Historical cost less depreciation model Modified approach (includes Condition Assessment)
What is Pipeline Asset Management?
Steps of Pipeline Asset Management Not Always!
Steps of Pipeline Asset Management Data Collection Establish a Risk-Based Prioritization Matrix Identify System Risk Factors Risk Based (consequence of failure) Large vs. small pipe Emergency operations (hospital) Pipeline redundancy (shutdown, criticality) Function Based (likelihood of failure)
Common Function-Based Risk Factors Pipe Material Cast iron/ductile iron Concrete Steel Fiberglass HDPE PVC Asbestos Cement No wood stave, cored log, etc. Pipe Exterior Coating Integrity Delaminated Mortar Coating
Common Function-Based Risk Factors Broken or Hydrogen Embrittlement of Prestressing Wires in PCCP Split Prestressing Wires Broken Prestressing Wires
Common Function-Based Risk Factors Improper Grouting of Joints Ungrouted Interior Joint Ungrouted Exterior Joint
Common Function-Based Risk Factors Inadequate Surge Protection Improper Cathodic Protection Collapsed Steel Pipe
Common Function-Based Risk Factors Fluctuating Groundwater Table High Internal Working Pressure Excessive External Loading Corrosive Soil Environment What could go wrong?
Pipe Segment Condition Assessment CA determines the ability of the pipeline to provide appropriate serviceability Present Future CA Planning Individualistic (old/new; big/small, etc.) Sequencing through prioritization Intuitive or Matrix Procedure (i.e., internal/external, entry, corrosion, etc)
Condition Assessment Results Definitive or Comparative Pipeline Life Design Service Life Meeting design conditions with original safety factors Effective Service Life Lower safety factors to end of life End dof Life Borderline inadequate safety factors Current state and conditions affecting that state
Asset Management Process System Inventory Identify risk factors Pi Prioritize ii High hrisk kpipes Assessed Condition of Pipes Now Do Something About It!
Next Step: Rehabilitation/Replacement Decisions Add CA Results to Prioritization Matrix Identify Highest Risk Pipe Segments Evaluate individual pipe segments Determine Rehab / Replacement Final Goal: Specific Projects for CIP & Budgets
Case Study: Rehab / Replace Decision Tools City of Houston 1,300 miles of large diameter water lines 24 to 96 Estimated $50 million annually to address pipes at end of service life Cost Too High Pipe age inaccurate indicator Need: Proactively Identify and Address High Risk Pipe Segments
Case Study: Rehab / Replace Decision Tools Transmission Line Condition Assessment Rehabilitation Program (TLCARP) Complete Asset Management Program Achieved advanced approval from Decision Makers
Case Study: Rehab / Replace Decision Tools TLCARP Prioritization Matrix Used for Condition Assessment & CIP Development
TLCARP Rehab / Replace Decision Tools Build on the CA Prioritization Matrix Evaluate Options for Corrective Action Develop Repair / Replace Decision Protocol Establish a Rehabilitation Planning Matrix Develop Global Unit Prices for Key Elements Carbon Fiber Repair Open-cut Replace
Rehab / Replace Decision Protocol Identify Pipe Performance Issues (i.e., Water quality, Leakage, Flow/Headloss Issues) Would rehabbed main deliver required performance? If yes, proceed. If no, then replace. Pipe is structurally sound Pipe is structurally inadequate
Rehab / Replace Decision Protocol Pipe is structurally sound Pipe is structurally inadequate Pipe only has water quality issues Pipe has flow, headloss, water quality and/or leakage issues Identify cause of structural deterioration and select semistructural/ structural rehab system Identify cause of water quality issues and select appropriate non structural lining system Pipe has leakage issues Pipe only exhibiting flow, headloss, and/or water quality issues. Identify cause of leakage and select non structural/ semi structural rehab system Identify cause of flow/headloss issues and select non structural/semi structural rehab system
Remove & Replace Open-Cut Replacement: Not Always The Best Option
Rehabilitation Planning Matrix
Rehab Tip for Future Connections/Modifications Difficult to modify = Difficult to repair Consider possible future connections prior to rehab Consider Service Requirements Pressure Limitations Reduction in flow capacity External loads Transient vacuum loads (negative e pressures) es) Raw water vs. Treated water
Develop CIP Evaluate Top Ranked Pipelines from CA Prioritization Matrix Apply Each Pipeline: Repair / Replace Decision Protocol Rehabilitation Planning Matrix Develop Conceptual Construction Cost Use Global Unit Costs Re-Evaluate Each Project Nearby CIP Projects Location of Good / Bad Valves Cost vs Available Funding Break project into smaller sections (if necessary)
