| Publisher Description: The U.S. EPA and other organizations have projected that a large portion of the United States' aging water conveyance infrastructure will reach the end of its service life in the next several decades. EPA has identified asset management as a critical factor in efficiently addressing this projected surge in water conveyance infrastructure renewal. An important tool in the asset manager's toolbox is cost-effective structural inspection, since it provides data to help support optimized capital, operations, and maintenance planning. However, there are many gaps in structural inspection capability and affordability, and many options for addressing those gaps. |
