Asset Management Strategies for Metallic Municipal Transmission Pipelines

This paper presents strategies for the control of external corrosion on municipal transmission pipelines as part of a comprehensive Asset Management Program. Several Asset Management strategies are available to municipal utility managers including run to failure; run until failure and repair as required; and operate and maintain using preventative maintenance to provide an indefinite life. Examples of these strategies would include operating a water pump to failure, operating a pipeline until a failure occurs and then making repairs as required, and operating and maintaining a facility such that the facility has an indefinite life. Several asset management strategies are currently being used in the municipal transmission pipeline arena. This paper discusses the short term and long term impacts of these strategies.
