The company’s sixth version allows utilities to plan system improvements by scoring the probability and consequence of failure for each underground asset.

The company said the probability of failure is determined based on the pipe’s physical condition and location as well as its hydraulic performance characteristics.

Assets that affect system operation normally rate high on the consequence scale, while assets in poor condition have a high probability of failure.
