How to prevent leaks in underground pipeline networks
Thread Content
How can underground piping systems (water lines) be prevented from developing leaks? Since these are concealed systems, it is particularly difficult to detect and fix leaks that occur in areas with cemented surfaces. How can such problems be avoided?
1. Choose appropriate materials, and avoid using lower-quality materials in place of higher-quality ones； 2. Proper anti-corrosion measures must be taken for pipelines; the outer layer of underground pipes should be properly protected to prevent leaks caused by pipe corrosion ； 3. During pipeline construction, pay attention to the treatment of the cushion layer and foundation to prevent issues such as pipeline bending or breaking caused by foundation settlement ； 4. Pay attention to using protective measures; ensure that the medium inside the underground pipes matches the design specifications. Also, be mindful of the flow rate during regular use to prevent erosion
Reinforced concrete trench. When I used to work on projects for foreigners, it was required that pipes and cables be placed in concrete pipe culverts; I joked to myself that foreigners were too pedantic – after all, they were burying them underground anyway, yet still spending so much money on it. Practice has shown that, unless the pipe material ages or corrodes, joint damage has never occurred due to road traffic or geological settlement, and CCTV provides an excellent means for inspection.
Many of the areas where there are problems with my installation now have sleeves, but they’re not the concrete pipe culverts you mentioned; I suspect that the anti-corrosion layer was damaged during the process of inserting things into those sleeves
