Pipelines 2010: Climbing New Peaks to Infrastructure Reliability--Renew, Rehab, and Reinvest

Proceedings of the Pipelines 2010 Conference, held in Keystone, Colorado, August 28-September 1, 2010. This publication is sponsored by the Pipeline Division of ASCE.

This collection contains 152 papers that examine evolving infrastructure assessment and monitoring techniques to help pipeline professionals in improve the reliability of buried pipeline assets. As U.S. pipeline infrastructure ages and displays the effects of decades of inattention and neglect, new and emerging technologies can provide innovative solutions to current and future problems. This collection can help the pipeline professional evaluate existing pipeline assets and set priorities for rehabilitation or replacement; design new pipelines using life-cycle costs and considerations; and obtain quality construction within the confines of project scope and budget. These thematic areas cover the aspects from the fundamental theory to physical, chemical, and biological processes to the coupled human and natural environment, and to the representation of simulated evolutionary pathways. The Effect of Urbanization on Groundwater: An Engineering Case-Based Approach to Sustainable Development is timely and makes a strong case for sustainable development and management. It will help expose just how sensitive key water quantity and quality management targets are to urban development.

Topics include:

•construction
•planning
•design
•construction
•infrastructure assessment and monitoring
•new and emerging technologies

This collection will be of interest to engineers, project managers, and construction professionals involved in developing and maintaining pipeline infrastructure.
