UTA to inspect sewer pipes for Coppell
|
|
Ali Abolmaali, professor and chair of the Civil Engineering Department, will lead a project with the city of Coppell on robotic inspections of sewer pipelines and material testing of core samples from those pipelines to predict their service life.
The project will lead to informed predictions of the remaining service life of the pipelines. The Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, or electron microscope, analyzes chemical properties of the pipes that help predict their strength and service life.
