Abstract

Structural deterioration of drainage pipes has been a major concern for asset managers in maintaining the required performance of the urban drainage systems. Structural deterioration is the reduction of physical integrity, which can be characterized through structural defects such as cracks and fractures that are identified through condition assessment. Due to limited budget and the massive number of pipes, condition assessment often is carried out on a fraction of the pipe network using closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection and a condition grading scheme. The condition assessment identifies the serviceability of pipes in a scale from one to three with one being the perfect, two being the fair and three being the poor condition.
