Long term corrosion of buried cast iron pipes in native soils

The corrosion of old buried cast iron water mains is a problem for the Australian Water Industry. To better manage their assets the industry requires a way of predicting the remaining service life of their pipes. In order to do this a predictive model of long-term corrosion loss with time is required. This paper describes ongoing work being conducted at The University of Newcastle to develop corrosion loss models for cast iron pipes in soils, as...
