CIVE 571 - Pipeline Engineering and Hydraulics

  • 3 credits
View available sections
The ten million miles of pipelines that convey drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, oil and gas, and industrial fluids in the US are vital to safe drinking water, environmental protection, energy supplies, and flood risk management. The course explains engineering and management requirements to build and manage new and aging pipeline infrastructure. Most examples are from the drinking water sector, which is vital to public health and has seen billions of dollars of new investment in the last few years. Topics include infrastructure characterization, planning and design, hydraulics of pipelines, hydro-machinery, water quality in distribution systems, smart systems, failure diagnosis, corrosion and cathodic protection, leaks and water loss auditing, safety and emergency response, asset management systems, trenchless technologies, and management strategies. Students in hydraulics, environmental, civil infrastructure, energy, geotechnical, and structures fields benefit from the course, which prepares them to work in consulting, utilities, construction, government, and equipment vendors.
