Considerations in the Hydraulic Design of Pipelines
The report summarises the findings of pipe reviews which were conducted during the research project
and highlights the following actions which should be considered during the hydraulic design of
pipelines :
• Review and incorporate available recorded hydraulic performance data of pipelines in the region in the design of new infrastructure;
• Include the secondary energy loss associated with the dimensional details of the couplings in the calculation of the energy loss in the pipeline;
• Use the proposed BRM (biofilm resistance model) to calculate a representative roughness for biofouled pipelines;
• Implement the proposed procedure to determine the remaining useful life of pipelines to be able to prioritize the upgrading or replacement of system components; and
• Provide monitoring points for the initial, continuous or intermittent hydraulic assessment of the pipeline.
