Method and algorithm for estimating the life cycle cost of water supply and sewer pipelines

Summary

The issues of updating standard technical documents – codes of practice, state standards, instructional guidelines, as well as directions for their improvement to increase the efficiency of designing, building and operating public water supply and wastewater disposal systems in the cities and towns of Russia are considered. It is shown that recently the Russian construction sector has focused on updating and actualizing the regulatory framework in the field of design and construction in terms of reducing mandatory requirements in codes of practice. The main provisions and algorithm of the Method for estimating the life cycle cost of water supply and sewer pipelines are given. It is noted that there are a number of guidelines and standards explaining the procedure of estimating a life cycle. However, no method exists, so far, agreed upon either at the domestic or international level that could provide a reliable basis for comparing products and offers from different manufacturers. The estimation of the life cycle cost of water supply and sewer pipelines involves an economic analysis of the total cost of construction, installation, operation and disposal of pipelines made of various construction materials.
