Life Cycle Analysis of Water Networks (original) (raw)

2010

Abstract

Water authorities around the world are faced with the problem of ageing distribution networks and often only limited historical data on which to base a sound long term, cost efficient replacement policy. The LICAN approach to whole of life costing is introduced and a hypothetical case study is used to demonstrate the importance of such an approach. A selection of pipe networks utilizing different pipe materials (PVC, DI and PE) are modeled to determine their whole of life cost, taking into account installation, maintenance and repair costs.
