3.0: DEVELOPMENT OF CIPP EVALUATION METHODOLOGY<br />

3.1 Review <strong>of</strong> Potential Alternatives<br />

A variety <strong>of</strong> approaches to evaluate the state <strong>of</strong> deterioration <strong>of</strong> previously <strong>in</strong>stalled l<strong>in</strong>ers were<br />

considered <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>itial stages <strong>of</strong> the project. Table 3-1 <strong>in</strong>dicates the ma<strong>in</strong> alternatives considered and the<br />

advantages and disadvantages <strong>of</strong> each approach. Through a detailed literature search and the specific<br />

<strong>in</strong>ternational scan effort described <strong>in</strong> Section 8, the research team was only able to f<strong>in</strong>d scattered efforts to<br />

thoroughly evaluate the long-term performance <strong>of</strong> rehabilitated sewer sections. Most typically, the<br />

rehabilitated sections were only evaluated us<strong>in</strong>g CCTV immediately follow<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>stallation and then<br />

perhaps periodically us<strong>in</strong>g CCTV depend<strong>in</strong>g on the overall <strong>in</strong>spection strategy <strong>of</strong> the agency. In some<br />

cases, this would mean a regular CCTV <strong>in</strong>spection at <strong>in</strong>tervals <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> years, while <strong>in</strong> other cases<br />

it may mean no follow up s<strong>in</strong>ce the rehabilitated section would be moved to the lowest priority for<br />

<strong>in</strong>spection.<br />

methods<br />

Recovery <strong>of</strong> destructive samples<br />

from select locations<br />

• Relatively low cost<br />

• Familiar to agencies<br />

• Can uncover other operat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

problems such as potential<br />

blockages<br />

• Can provide broad coverage<br />

<strong>of</strong> rel<strong>in</strong>ed sections with<strong>in</strong> an<br />

agency lead<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

statistically mean<strong>in</strong>gful<br />

results<br />

• More detail on such aspects<br />

as l<strong>in</strong>er distortion,<br />

development <strong>of</strong> external<br />

voids, etc.<br />

• Physical samples <strong>of</strong> the l<strong>in</strong>er<br />

are available for a variety <strong>of</strong><br />

tests<br />

• Variation <strong>of</strong> material<br />

properties from as-<strong>in</strong>stalled<br />

requirements can be<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

methods possible to build<br />

future NDT evaluation<br />

procedures<br />

• Can only identify<br />

deterioration or defects that<br />

are easily identified by<br />

CCTV <strong>in</strong>spection<br />

• No material properties<br />

obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

• L<strong>in</strong>er distortion difficult to<br />

identify<br />

• Not possible to evaluate<br />

<strong>in</strong>termediate stages <strong>of</strong><br />

deterioration<br />

• More expensive than CCTV<br />

• Data that can be gathered<br />

still would not presently<br />

allow evaluation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>termediate stages <strong>of</strong><br />

deterioration<br />

• Expense <strong>of</strong> retriev<strong>in</strong>g<br />

physical samples limits the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> samples that can<br />

be recovered and hence the<br />

statistical validity <strong>of</strong> results<br />

<strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> system-wide<br />

performance<br />

• Expense can limit the wish<br />

<strong>of</strong> agencies to participate <strong>in</strong><br />

a national evaluation<br />

program
