The need for sustainable water infrastructure systems continues to grow as clean water is
essential for daily life. Despite efforts to sustain water distribution networks (WDNs), they …

To reduce leakage and improve service levels, water companies are increasingly using
statistical models of pipe failure using infrastructure, weather and environmental data …

Over the years, anomaly detection of fluid pipes has been a focus of water authorities as well
as oil and gas operators to advance the operation and management of these mechanical …

Subsea pipelines are vital arteries transporting oil, gas, and water over long distances and
play a critical role in the global resource supply chain. However, they are the most …

Controlled hydraulic transient pressure waves can be used to actively assess the condition
of pressurised pipelines (eg leak detection). One practical challenge to the application of the …

Research undertaken in the last two decades has demonstrated that hydraulic transient
pressure waves, the phenomena behind water hammer, can be used as a tool for …

Plastic pipes [eg, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or high density polyethylene (HDPE)] are
commonly used to replace aging metallic pipe sections (eg, cast iron) in water-distribution …

Managing pipe breaks in water supply networks has been a challenge for water utilities
around the world. In order to transform from reactive to proactive management of pipe …

Galvanized steel pipes with screw thread connections are widely used in the household part
of urban gas distribution system. For such pipes, leakages usually occur at the connections …

The propagation of pressure waves in water pipes is frequency dependent, which leads to
these waves experiencing a frequency-dependent wave speed and attenuation, resulting in …
