1 Bruce Power Pipeline Assessment Workshop May 31, 2018

2 Pure Technologies Over 30 years of experience in pressure pipe assessment and management Provided inspection, assessment, and management of thousands of miles of pressure pipe Expertise includes non-destructive technologies, hydraulic transient monitoring, forensic evaluations, structural modeling, and life cycle assessment Inspection, assessment, and program management services for many large utilities Over 500 employees in 12 North American offices

3 AIA Portfolio Forensics Capital Planning Wall Thickness Testing Leak Detection Hidden Revenue Detection Water Loss Management Remaining Useful Life Estimates Structural Modelling Pipeline Condition Assessment Transient Monitoring Pipeline Risk Prioritisation Real Time Intelligence

4 Large Main Failure Cost Total Failure Cost = Direct Cost* + Societal Costs** Total Failure Cost = $500,000*** + ($5 x 15,000 pe x 5 days to repair) Total Failure Cost = $875,000 *Repair, engineering, flooding damage, landscaping/restoration, etc. **$5/day triple bottom line inconvenience charge per person for low pressure or no service Failure of a 600-mm feeder main in Calgary A large diameter rupture is a catastrophic event! A good estimate of the total cost of large diameter main breaks based on these data is $500,000. Flooding damage is the largest 30 large diameter (500-mm +) failures analyzed: repair average $1,700,000; mean $500,000. Analysis of Total Cost of Large Diameter Pipe Failures, American Water Works Association Research Foundation,

16 PCCP History Early concrete pressure pipe added a steel cylinder for water retention. (1929) First installation L-301 pipe 1942 First AWWA standard 1949 (C301) First installation E-301 pipe 1953 Used in 90 of the 100 largest municipalities >20,000 miles in N. America Long service life

17 PCCP History

18 Primary Failure Mechanisms Corrosion Loss in cross-sectional area of wire Wire breaks Tension released Causes Cracking and/or carbonation of the mortar coating Infiltration of corrosion products

19 Primary Failure Mechanisms Dynamic Strain Aging/Hydrogen Embrittlement Good Quality Wire

20 Primary Failure Mechanisms Dynamic Strain Aging/Hydrogen Embrittlement Poor Quality Wire

21 PCCP Management Inspection Leak Detection Visual and Sounding Electromagnetic Assessment Hydraulic Analysis Structural Evaluation Risk Analysis

22 Visual & Sounding Identifies pipes in a state of incipient failure Actual distances and features used to compile actual laying schedule

23 Design Manufacturin g and/or Materials Capacity Leak & Gas Pocket Detection

24 Acoustic Leak & Gas Pocket Detection Leaks are often precursors to failures Transmission main leaks major source of water loss Gas pockets may promote internal corrosion (force mains), compound the effects of hydraulic transients, and reduce capacity

33 Pipe Material Change and Un-documented Feature SmartBall data is used to locate possible pipe material changes and undocumented features by carefully looking for changes in the: Pipes natural magnetic field SmartBall rolling motion Background acoustic signature Asbestos Cement Poly Vinyl Chloride Poly Vinyl Chloride Ductile Iron Note: Not all pipe material changes or features will provide a noticeable signal change Adapter 33

34 Confirmation of Pipe Alignment SmartBall data is analyzed to identify and locate bends for the purpose of confirming pipeline alignment. Measured heading changes are correlated to elbows seen in drawings and or GIS Areas with discrepancies will be identified in a table and visual format Alignment discrepancies SmartBall Line GIS Utility Line
