Abstract
Although superior materials and advanced techniques are available, designing a pipeline to supply water for 100 years or more is not necessarily the optimal choice for a utility.
Numerous factors come into play when planning for pipe design, installation, monitoring, and maintenance, not the least of which is uncertainty about the future.
Tools such as computational modeling, life-cycle cost analysis, forensic analysis, and scenario planning through digital design can help a utility create a cost-effective pipeline plan.
