Presentation Goal
• Who is the San Diego County Water Authority?
• What is PCCP?
• Why is the Water Authority relining its pipelines?
• How does relining work?
• When did relining work start and what is the future of the program?
6
Regional Background
• More than 200 years of water development
• Major focus of dam construction at end of 19th century
• SDCWA organized in 1944 to meet area's wartime mission
• Fifth of five major pipelines completed in 1982
7
Mission Dam was constructed by Spanish settlers in 1769.
SDCWA Regional Role
• Water wholesaler provides 90% of San Diego County’s water
• 24 member agencies serving a population of 3.7 million people
8
• Active in state and federal government as advocate for regional water supply
Completed in 2003, Olivenhain Dam is the largest RCC dam in the world
Infrastructure Overview
• Key Components– 300 miles of pipe– 82.5 miles of PCCP
(gravity)– 48 to 108 inch
• Expanding treated water capability

Prestressed Concrete Cylindrical Pipe (PCCP)

Why Reline?
11
Historical Failures
• February 1979 – 66” (1959)• December 1980 – 66” (1959)• May 1982 – 66” (1959)• October 1990 – 84” (1972)• November 1993 – 96” (1972)*• May 2006 – 66” (1959) *• October 2008 – 72” (1976)*

Aqueduct Protection Program (APP)
• Established by SDCWA Board in 1991 in response to failures and concern about pipeline condition
• Risk Management role– May 2006 Failure = $6 million– Feb 2008 Replacement = $1 million– May 2008 Carbon Fiber Urgent Repair = $530k
• $41 million over the next 30 years; 4 regular staff plus support staff (as of 2003)
14
APP – What Does it Do?
• Monitors and mitigates corrosion related damage
• Identifies pipeline nearing end of service life and schedules rehabilitation/replacement
• Documentation• Determines remaining service life and pipeline
decay index (PDI) for analysis
15
Condition Assessment Tools
• In Service– Failures– Acoustical Monitoring
• Out of Service– Visual/Sounding– Remote Field Eddy Current– Impact Echo (limited effectiveness)
16
Acoustic Fiber Optics (AFO)
17
• Real-time monitoring of prestressing wires – Hydrophone Arrays– Acoustic Fiber Optic Cable
• Authority Pipelines Currently Being Monitored– Pipeline 3 = 19,715 feet– Pipeline 4 = 20,167 feet– Pipeline 5 = 65,000 feet– Crossover Pipeline = 39,600 feet

Sounding
22
• Examination of External PCCP Wires
• Sounding and removal of delaminated mortar coating
• Cleaning and inspection of pre-stressed wires
Remote Field Eddy Current
23
• 30 broken wires estimated
• 27 broken wires found
Condition Assessment
24
• Pipeline Decay Index (PDI)– Summary of all factors– Determines remaining service life– Determines maintenance schedule– Regular data reviews and updates
• Potential impacts via GIS maps– Watercourse, schools, homes, roads,
commercial zones, etc.
Lessons Learned
• In-Plant inspection is key– Proper coating and lining– Steel can condition
• Consider bedding and environment – San Diego has very corrosive soils high in chlorides– Rock backfilled against pipe cracks coating– Poor diapers at joints on older PCCP
• Effect of shutdowns on PCCP25
Relining Considerations• Costs:
– Average reline cost = $1,300/ft– New Steel Pipe = $1,462/ft (rural) & $2,055/ft (urban)– Carbon fiber repair = $7,500/ft• Time:– Reduced OOS duration– 24-hour work• Community impacts:– Out of sight, out of mind• Environmental:– Minimizes dust, noise and impacts to habitat
26
Relining Background
• New steel pipeline within PCCP
• Process developed in early 1980s by SDCWA Assistant Chief Engineer, Buckley L. Ogden– Ogden’s pipe carrier
• Process used around the nation and at the Water Authority today
