摘要

Pipelines are inherently safer to the public than other modes of freight transportation for natural gas and hazardous liquids (such as oil products) because they are, for the most part, located underground. Nevertheless, the volatile nature of these products means that pipeline accidents can have serious consequences. For example, when a pipeline ruptured and spilled about 250,000 gallons of gasoline into a creek in Bellingham, Washington, in June 1999, three people were killed, eight were injured, several buildings were damaged, and the banks of the creek were destroyed along a 1.5-mile section. The United States is critically dependent on natural gas and petroleum liquids transported through pipelines. The infrastructure that currently transports these energy resources is aging, with a significant fraction being more than 50 years old. The enormity of the problem of deteriorating pipeline infrastructure is apparent. Since rebuilding the piping system is not financially realistic, pipeline operators require the capacity to monitor the condition of buried pipes. Thus, a reliable pipeline assessment and management system is necessary so that pipeline operators can develop long-term, cost-effective maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation programs. These programs are necessary to ensure that critical pipeline sections are repaired or replaced before they fail. The quality of the assessment can be optimized by choosing the most suitable sensors for the particular inspection problem. In order to do this, it is necessary to define the specifications of the required inspection and, consequently, to take into account details of the nature and characteristics of the pipe. Studies have shown that the structural performance and behavior of the pipe is dependent on type of backfill placed around the pipe, construction sequence, compaction control, surface loads, and the type of pipe material. To fully understand the condition of a pipe network additional information other than pipe surface condition is necessary. The aim of this paper is to review currently used and newly developed sensing methods suitable for assessing the condition of sewer pipes. A research is underway at Penn State to determine if Non-Contact Ultrasound (NCU) can be used to quantify the state of defects in pipelines. The goal of this research is to develop a test method that can add complementary pipe information to existing surface image assessments. Superposing an ultrasonic image onto an optical image of the sample creates a visual context in which interpretation and analysis are easily achieved.
