Development of A Web-Based Interactive Database for Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal Engineering Technologies and Management Practices

摘要

System Renewal includes various repair, rehabilitation, and replacement technologies andrnproducts that restore pipeline systems to the expected levels of service within the establishedrnbudget plan. The key is to determine which renewal technology is best suited for the situation atrnhand, taking into account both past experiences, technological innovations, and project specificrnrequirements. The research team at Virginia Tech is currently working on the development of arnweb-based interactive national database which provides a “one-stop-shop” for technologyrninformation, product profiles, case studies, and other valuable information that can help identifyrnthe most appropriate technology to achieve project goals in an efficient and cost effectivernmanner. Currently, utilities are faced with difficulties in information sharing, and as a result, thernsame mistakes are repeated in utilities throughout the nation. The national database will addressrnthese difficulties by bringing data and information from all the stakeholders into one database.
