Theme: Condition Assessment

As America’s infrastructure continues to age and deteriorate, we must decide how to invest time and money to assess an asset’s condition and then repair or replace it.  Many utilities have programs that regularly inspect a buried pipe and/or structure’s condition.  Buildings, tanks, and equipment at our treatment facilities are also aging and require reinvestment as well.  This issue of NC Currents will explore the options available for assessing the condition and management of your infrastructure, how to prioritize renewal and replacement programs, and the best way to maximize limited funds for important projects that are too often “out of sight, out of mind.”  Articles can include those that focus on methods or technologies to visually or otherwise determine an asset’s condition, programs or technology that establishes an asset’s life expectancy, and the means to repair / replace those assets.

Theme Leaders: Marianna Boucher, Steve Hilderhoff, and Kara Meyers
