Pipeline Renewals Guidelines Literature Search- Schedule of Works

As part of the pipe renewals guidelines program being undertaken by Water New Zealand, the Quake Centre and IPWEA we are pleased to announce the release of a stocktake of existing knowledge prepared as part of the project. 10 themes were identified and stocktake of the state of knowledge and practice has been developed for each of the following themes:

  • Strategy and Planning for Capacity and Growth (both positive and negative)
  • Levels of Service, Risk and Resilience
  • Pipe Criticality
  • Pipe Vulnerability
  • Pipe Inspection and Condition
  • Forecasting Remaining Pipe Life
  • Business Processes
  • Data management
  • Building Standards and Constructability
  • Life-cycle Cost of Pipes

46 initiatives have been determined that could be completed over the next three years to close gaps in knowledge or practice. A description of each initiative is provided outlining what is required, why it is necessary and the recommended approach for developing the initiative.
