	Guidance Manual for the Structural Condition Assessment of Trunk Mains.
	Order Code: NS63 ISBN Number: 0902156861 Publisher: WRC No. of Pages: 163 Price: £50.00
Trunk mains are a critical link in water supply and yet there are many thousands of kilometres for which there exists little or no information relating to condition or life expectancy. As pressure continues to grow on Water Service Companies to provide higher levels of service as well as justify expenditure, it is becoming increasingly important to develop a better understanding of mains condition and develop cost-effective assessment strategies. Structural condition assessment is a well established technique to provide the information needed to manage trunk mains cost-effectively and reduce the risk of system failure. Bringing together the recognised expertise from the UK Water Industry and WRc, the Guidance Manual for the Structural Condition Assessment of Trunk Mains provides clear and comprehensive guidance on this important topic. The main objective of the Manual is to assist water engineers develop cost-effective assessment programmes by providing guidance, rules and principles to specific situations and help them make appropriate decisions during the course of structural condition assessment exercises. In particular, the Manual will help engineers to: Develop an appropriate approach to structural condition assessment Determine effective inspection programmes, covering issues such as available inspection methods, operational procedures, scale and location Estimate approximate resources and timescales to help plan structural assessment projects Interpret test results, draw appropriate conclusions and calculate the remaining life of the asset. Contents: Introduction Glossary of terms and reference Summary The approach to structural condition assessment Inspection techniques and structural condition assessment methodologies Inspection technique procedures Interpretation of results Resource Guidelines Examples Development areas Photographs.
