Many pipelines within water and wastewater treatment plants that were constructed within the last 50 years are nearing the end of their service lives. Owners have invested in condition assessments to help them make the difficult decision to repair or replace these pipelines. There are many types of condition assessment methods that can be used to determine the existing condition however, this paper will discuss a data-driven approach. Rehabilitation of the pipelines with protective coatings can also be challenging due to limited access and limited construction schedules. Important factors to consider when selecting protective coatings based on case histories are discussed.
