| Pipeline Failure
Prediction |
Most Australian urban areas have a significant
proportion of aging, deteriorating water pipes, with 15% being more
than 50 years old. The prediction of future number of failures for
these pipes is of benefit to asset managers. Mathematical models
have potential use in formulating both short and long-term planning
decisions on maintenance and replacement strategies. A model, using
pipeline attributes, has been developed and is being updated by Alan
Veevers. |
| Rainfall Runoff
Modelling |
Spending on large infrastructure projects in
Australia, such as new bridges and roads, is worth at least A$1BN
each year. The consequences of structural failure are potentially
severe, not only in economic terms but also in social disruption and
potential for loss of life. |
