Abstract:In 1994 the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) initiated a sewer and culvert
condition research conducted at various locations throughout Southeast and Southwest
Michigan to review the performance of concrete, plastic and metal pipe that varied in diameter
from 12 inches to 24 inches. The present research, conducted in 2011, re-evaluated the current
condition of pipe included in the 1994 study and expanded the study scope by adding new
sewer pipe locations and 36 inch diameter pipe. The inspection in 2011 added laser profiling
and micrometer measuring to the traditional CCTV and mandrel inspection methods used in
1994. The inspection and video results from 1994 were compared to the inspection and video
results from 2011. The research evaluated the test pipe performance and made
recommendations about pipe installation methods, use of mandrel testing versus laser profiling
and application of laser micrometer measurement of pipe anomalies. The research evaluated
several laser profiling and CCTV devices and their operation in sewers and culverts.
Recommendations were made for updating the current MDOT laser profiling specification and
implementing laser profiling in MDOT’s practice.
