Originally launched nearly 25 years ago, NASSCO’s Manual of Practice is a useful guide designed to provide contractors, system owners and engineers with practical information on all aspects of a collections system. It is also extremely useful for young professionals and laborers entering the industry.
After several months of industry expert evaluation and comprehensive peer review, the manual will be available this summer in an updated format to better address topics in asset management, inspection, risk management, flow monitoring, pipe failure prevention, sustainable pipeline systems, bidding, and specifications, as well as repair, rehabilitation, and replacement methods using trenchless technologies.
The updated Manual of Practice will include a detailed explanation pertaining to the growing need to properly manage collections systems, providing a solid guideline to help clearly communicate to a variety of audiences the importance of proper asset management.
Chapter 1 provides information regarding the need to effectively manage collections systems and the approach toward making pipe systems sustainable. Chapter 2 of the updated manual focuses on condition assessment and provides detail on all visual inspection technologies, as well as alternative technologies (nonvisual). The chapter also provides brief explanations of the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program, Manhole Assessment Certification Program and Lateral Assessment Certification Program, as well as methodologies for condition grading.
Rehabilitation, repair and replacement alternatives are addressed in Chapter 3 of the updated manual, which provides information on all trenchless technologies available to address failing systems.
