Water distribution networks represent society's most important infrastructure asset. They are buried pipes and are often old and deteriorating. Cost-effective methods to assess their physical condition are urgently needed. This research will develop a novel and advanced approach to determine the interior condition of pipes quickly and effectively using small water hammer pulses or waves. Paired pressure sensor arrays will be used to measure reflections of the waves in pipes and these methods will enable finer resolution and identification of pipeline faults, such as wall thickness loss and leakage while at the same time allowing operational continuity. The outcome will be powerful tools to more cost effectively manage these crucial assets.

供水网络是社会最重要的基础设施资产。它们是埋在地下的管道，通常陈旧且老化。迫切需要具有成本效益的方法来评估他们的身体状况。这项研究将开发一种新颖且先进的方法，利用小水锤脉冲或水波快速有效地确定管道的内部状况。成对的压力传感器阵列将用于测量管道中波的反射，这些方法将能够更精细地分辨率和识别管道故障，例如壁厚损失和泄漏，同时允许操作连续性。结果将是更有效地管理这些关键资产的强大工具。
