Case Study: Using Direct Condition Assessment to Improve Your Infrastructure Asset Management Plan

摘要

Like many other utilities the City of Mount Pleasant in South Carolina were not overly concerned for the condition of their forcemain infrastructure until late 2009 when they had two mains breaks, with the obvious consequences to the environment and local publicity. They acted as a proactive utility and initiated a system that used attributes from the GIS to start an Asset Management Program. After the information was compiled and analyzed, it was obvious that they needed more information on the Direct Condition Assessment tools available to further their program.
