Condition Assessment
• Determining and documenting the physical state of infrastructure at a point in time
• Identify improvements to extend asset life • Prioritizing improvements

Ductile and Cast Iron Pipe…aging is a problem
Aging can occur from: • Internal corrosion • External corrosion • Fatigue Failure Methods: • Pits or rust holes • Bursts (longitudinal) • Breaks (circumferential) • Leaks at joints or service taps
Pitting Corrosion
General Corrosion
