DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Colorado is seeking a vendor to provide asset management, operations, and asset health monitoring services focused on large diameter and transmission pipes.

The scope includes identifying available and emerging technologies for monitoring the health of these pipe assets, developing effective techniques and procedures for applying those technologies, and performing field verification. The selected vendor is also expected to develop guidelines or models that correlate monitoring data with pipe material degradation, defects, and other structural health indicators, as well as explain how operational conditions relate to asset health.

In addition, the work includes identifying and compiling examples, if any, where similar asset health monitoring technologies have been successfully applied to other water industry assets beyond pipes.
