Organised by HKIE-CA Division

Programme Highlights

In Hong Kong, there are over 6,500km of public drainage and sewerage laid underground, someof them laid over 40 years. There is a big challenge to maintain good service and structuralconditions to serve over 7.5 million people on a daily basis and also be capable of “Once in twohundred years” rainfall. Pipe Condition Assessment (PCA) becomes one of the critical elementsfor these underground infrastructures.

There are a lot of different methods to assess the pipe in a non-destructive approach such as CCTV inspection, Laser scanning, and Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) inspection. When adopting different sophisticated equipment, sets of standards by professionals, for instance, members of the Hong Kong Institute of Utility Specialists (HKIUS), are followed. By incorporating all the equipment, we can provide good solutions to deal with different circumstances including some unexpected situations.
