Recommended Industry Guidance for Water Infrastructure Maintenance
Extend Water Asset Life with Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation
When it comes to water infrastructure condition assessment and rehabilitation, we’ve done our research! We’ve also served on committees and translated manuals. More than any other consultant, HDR has advanced the practice of water main condition assessment.
The below collection of documents helped inspire and inform our first-ever Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation Guide. If you’re looking for even more insight, please contact us at water [at] hdrinc.com (water[at]hdrinc[dot]com).
