Pipeline condition assessment
Xylem’s pipeline condition assessment services can shed more light on the health of your most critical pipe infrastructure.
Xylem’s solutions can address the needs of both metallic and concrete pipes in water main networks and sewer rising mains.
The assessment approach includes a preliminary analysis for the selection of the specific technology, the pipe assessment for the detection of defects and gas pockets that are sources of failure, and finaly a risk assessment for the evaluation of main failure and its consequences.
