Inspecting Water Main Infrastructure at Campuses

University, college and corporate campuses focus on education and training, and a reliable water supply is critical to operations. These sites are now facing many of the same aging water infrastructure challenges as our municipal clients. From innovative and permanent leak detection monitoring technologies to inspecting the remaining structural strength of water mains on campus grounds to help avoid water main breaks and water loss, Echologics technology is ideally suited to quickly inspect a wide variety of pipe material and diameters without service disruption or impact of campus operations. Our highly trained field engineers have successfully completed several high profile campus projects and understand the unique requirements for security, safety and environmental protection.

Typical Applications

Regulatory and environmental compliance reporting
Capital improvement plan optimization
Fire line inspection
Steam, hot water and chill water lines
Leak location on a water supply line
Avoidance of disruption from water main breaks

Solutions

Leak detection: Highly trained Echologics field engineers can quickly mobilize to identify a leak on virtually any material or diameter of water main. The service can be applied to a single pipe section or an entire water distribution system running between buildings or under landscaping without disruption.

Permanent Leak Monitoring: Echologics can transform campus fire hydrants into leading-edge, smart technologies that proactively listen for the development of leaks in water pipe infrastructure. In the event that a leak develops, engineering teams are notified to take quick action.

Pipeline Condition Assessment: Buried pipe infrastructure can be inspected and graded for remaining structural strength to help determine the need and timing for replacement or rehabilitation.

Remaining Pipe Life Estimation: As an added value decision making tool, data from a condition assessment project along with additional structural and environmental inputs can be uploaded to the Echologics remaining service life calculation tool to better visualize and prioritize pipe replacement needs.

Projects

Historic Campus Selects Non-Invasive Pipe Assessment
A renowned research and library campus required a non-invasive approach to search for leaks and determine the condition of on-site pipe assets installed in the 1930s. More than 5,000 feet of pipe connect buildings and run underneath historic gardens that could not be disturbed during the inspection. The inspection was completed in just two days, with no impact to the historic grounds or facility operations. Pipe condition assessment data was input into the EchoLife™ Remaining Service Life tool to estimate the timing and need for pipe replacement and rehabilitation. The inspection project was part of a utility, water fountain, and storm water master plan for the campus.
