How to create outlook signature

we often give little thought vast network of buried water and wastewater infrastructure right below our feet until the signs of deterioration become a problem on the surface causing disruption in our daily lives water utilities are faced with an aging infrastructure problem as many pipelines reach the end of their design life the ideal solution would be to replace all the old pipes however this is an expensive response and one that causes huge disruption to the public at pier technologies we partner with utilities help them understand the current condition of their pipes so they can make more informed repair replacement and rehabilitation decisions using innovative technologies over the past 10 years we have inspected in excess of 13,000 kilometers of water and waste water pipe or 2.2 million individual pipe sections detecting over 4,000 leaks and saving an estimated 350 billion litres of water replacing pipelines can cost millions of dollars per kilometer and poses substantial logistical problems there is a better way to maintain trunk mains than simply replacing or slip lining why not assess the pipeline and address the problem areas proactive pipeline management identifies problematic pipe sections to allow for proactive repair before they become catastrophic bursts international water associations have studied the fiscal impact of large diameter trunk main failure and document the cause at between 500,000 and 1.5 million dollars the savings from preventing a single burst water main can often pay for condition assessment program this does not include the cost of legal action that affected residents and businesses may take or the eroding effect these failures have on the public's confidence in the utility armed with extensive preliminary analysis and actionable data collected by condition assessment technologies utility operators are now able to make defensible decisions about the future of their critical pipelines when evaluating how to safely and effectively extend the useful life of a pipeline inspection data structural assessment and a comprehensive risk evaluation should be considered to make sound engineering recommendations the world bank estimates that non-revenue water costs utilities worldwide about 14 billion dollars each year locating leaks on large diameter water mains represents the best opportunity for improvement links on small diameter distribution mains of the most common but the volume of water loss from these leagues represents a much smaller percentage of nrw then leaks on large diameter pipes pier technologies provides turnkey pipeline assessment management solutions to enable water utilities to safely effectively and economically manage their aging underground assets water utilities are increasingly looking to defer capital expenditure avoid costly and embarrassing water main burst at the same time reducing the amount of non-revenue water lost from the system using our comprehensive suite of technologies and world-class pipeline engineering team we can safely extend the life of your existing pipeline assets
