PCCP Assessment Strategy
• Began comprehensive program in 1996
• Program Components
– Inspect
– Protect
– Evaluate
– Repair
![Page 7: Metropolitan’s PCCP Rehab Program - Water … · Metropolitan Water District •Special district of the State of California •Formed in 1928, under authority of MWD Act •Primary](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011804/5ba995e709d3f2f51d8cbed2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Electromagnetic Inspections
• Electromagnetic conducted annually– Analysis identifies wirebreak
locations (+/- 6”)
– Analysis quantifies number of wire breaks
• 35-40 miles inspected yearly
• One cycle of inspection (163 miles) takes 5 years
• All 163 miles – inspected 2-3 times
![Page 8: Metropolitan’s PCCP Rehab Program - Water … · Metropolitan Water District •Special district of the State of California •Formed in 1928, under authority of MWD Act •Primary](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011804/5ba995e709d3f2f51d8cbed2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Protection - Stray Current
Cathodic protection systems on other oil & gas lines affect MWD pipelinesStray current leads to metal loss on PCCPHigh levels of stray currents To Protect PCCP MWD conducts corrosion surveys every 1-2 years

Urgent Repairs -Methods• Steel Cylinders• Collapsed Cylinders• Carbon Fiber• Repair in accordance with
long term strategy (ielonger reaches not individual pieces)
![Page 12: Metropolitan’s PCCP Rehab Program - Water … · Metropolitan Water District •Special district of the State of California •Formed in 1928, under authority of MWD Act •Primary](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011804/5ba995e709d3f2f51d8cbed2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Urgent Repairs -Example
• Rehabilitated ~5000 ft of PCCP
• Urgent Repair on several sections required
• Multiple Pipes with wire breaks

Urgent Repairs• Since 1999• ~20,000 feet repaired
on 12 feeders• Range spent on
individual pipelines -$0 to $24 M
• 70% of repair cost on 5 feeders
• Total repair costs -$82 M
![Page 14: Metropolitan’s PCCP Rehab Program - Water … · Metropolitan Water District •Special district of the State of California •Formed in 1928, under authority of MWD Act •Primary](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011804/5ba995e709d3f2f51d8cbed2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Systematic Replacement of 5 most at risk pipelines– Cost of systematic rehabilitation is less than piecemeal
approach
– Extensive repair history
– Located in corrosive soils
– Proximity to stray currents
– Systematically rehabilitate entire pipeline
• Little or no deterioration in the other 22 pipelines
• Continue to Monitor all PCCP Pipelines which are not experiencing significant degradation
New Strategy – Systematic Replacement

Construction Methodology• Line PCCP w/
Steel Cylinders• Identify Access
Pits– Reduce Traffic
Impacts – Minimize Utility
Relocations– Space pits to
allow welding– Ensure worker
safety
• Reline with Collapsed Cylinders

• Replace Sectionalizing Valves• Replace Meters• Replace Vacuum and Air Release Valves• Add additional Sectionalizing Valves
– Increase operational flexibility– Reduce dewatering time and amount water
discharged to dewater line
Rehabilitate Entire Line

• Proactive approach to rehabilitation of distressed PCCP
• Systematic, Comprehensive Plan• Reduced cost by systematic replacement
instead of monitor and piecemeal replacement• Reduced risk of failure & service interruptions• Planned Capital Expenditures• Increase long term reliability
Overall Program Benefits
