NZ Pipe Inspection Manual Survey

Water New Zealand is collaborating with the University of Canterbury Earthquake Centre and Project Max to investigate updating our Pipe Inspection Manual.

Below is a link to the web-based industry survey form. The survey will take up to 15 - 20 minutes to complete. The purpose of the survey is to gain an understanding of how well the 3rd Edition of the New Zealand Pipe Inspection Manual (the manual) meets the water industry needs and identify potential areas of improvement, or expanded content that could be addressed during the revision of the existing manual.

The survey covers a number of topic sections

  • Content Of The Existing Manual
  • Sample Forms
  • Manhole Inspections
  • Pipe Cleaning
  • Quality Of Deliverables
  • Methods Of Inspecting Pipes
  • Pressure Pipelines
  • Training And Qualifications
  • Data Quality Management
  • Standard Documents
  • Inspection Of Laterals
  • Condition Codes
  • Assessing Pipe Condition
  • Assessing Inflow And Infiltration
  • Acceptance Criteria For New/Rehabilitated Pipe
  • Sharing And Bench Marking Of Pipe Inspection Data

All of the questions on these sections are optional. If you feel that you cannot answer the questions within any of the sections, you may move onto the next question. All of the sections also have space for general feedback, and we would encourage you to provide some comment in each section.
