Abstract

Some soil environments are corrosive. In this soil the life of the pipe goes down to years of tens. On the other hand, service life can be increased by using effective bonded coatings as well as polyethylene encasement and catholic protection. Experimental evaluations revealed from various water utilities showed that demonstrates sufficient service life and lower maintained costs against alternatives.  Now apply modern pipe management systems. Before application several soil parameters such as resistivity/conductivity, moisture content, chloride and sulphide ions concentration, redox potential, presence of landfill, fly ash, coal, peat, mine waste, are searched. After that, if necessary required are taken before burying the pipes.
