Aging Water Infrastructure Research Program SAB Consultation - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Aging Water Infrastructure Research Program SAB Consultation Rehabilitation of Wastewater Collection and Water Distribution Systems Dr. Ari Selvakumar Water Supply and Water Resources Division Photo image area measures 2 H x 6.93 W and can be masked by a ” ” collage strip of one, two or three images. The photo image area is located 3.19 from left and 3.81 from top of page. ” ” Each image used in collage should be reduced or cropped to a maximum of 2 high, stroked with a 1.5 pt white frame and positioned edge to edge with ” - - accompanying images.

Rehabilitation Definition: Rehabilitation includes repair, renewal, and replacement of pipes and components (pump stations, manholes, etc.) to return the system to near-original condition and performance. Research Area Goals: To accelerate the application of innovative ƒ technologies for cost-effective rehabilitation/replacement of aging/failing drinking water distribution and wastewater collection systems. To conduct full-scale demonstrations of promising ƒ technologies that will gather reliable cost and performance data.

(Dr. Ray Sterling) Decision Support Strategies • Jason Consultants • Virginia Tech University (Dr. Sunil Sinha) Office of Research and Development 3 National Risk Management Research Laboratory

International Forum Purpose: Develop inventory of rehabilitation technologies and identify candidate technologies for demonstration. Forum Highlights • Need decision-support systems: − Rehabilitation methods/materials − Rehabilitation vs. replacement • Lack of understanding of rehabilitation capabilities; • 31 Invited Experts need rational/uniform design approach • 21 Presentations • Proprietary systems, procedures, materials • Group Discussions • Need long-term performance/cost data • Better technologies for water distribution pipes • Vendor & Utility • EPA clearing house for performance/cost data Roundtable Discussion • Retrospective evaluation of rehabilitation technologies Office of Research and Development 4 National Risk Management Research Laboratory

Retrospective Evaluation of Lining Technologies • Develop protocols for the forensic evaluation of existing rehabilitation systems. • Demonstrate protocols on selected case studies. • Encourage municipalities to examine their rehabilitated systems using the protocols. • Develop/provide database on performance.

Next Steps 1. Selection of Technologies for Demonstration • Wastewater: CIPP with UV ‐ cured (Glass fiber & polyester tube impregnated with polyester or vinylester resin & UV cured) • Water: CIPP with hot water or steam cured (Aqualiner, Aquapipe, InSitu Main) 2. Selection of Potential Demonstration Sites • Columbus, OH • Indianapolis, IN • Omaha, NE 3. Preparation for Demonstration • QAPP • Protocols/Metrics 4. Demonstration Trials • Site Selection Criteria Office of Research and Development 6 6 6 National Risk Management Research Laboratory

Planned Outputs • State of the technology reports on State of Technology Report rehabilitation of: − Wastewater collection pipes & service laterals − Force Mains − Water distribution pipes & service lines • Report on initial field demonstrations • Rehabilitation vs. replacement decision approach • Report on retrospective evaluation of lining • Journal articles EPA/600/X-09/048 Office of Research and Development 7 National Risk Management Research Laboratory
