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
