Abstract: Gas distribution utilities in the United States currently maintain and operate some 857,000 miles of mains to deliver approximately 20 trillion cubic feet of gas per year to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Steel mains account for approximately 600,000 miles. It is estimated that approximately one billion dollars are expended annually for replacement of damaged or deteriorating gas mains. The past results have indicated that next to the third-party damage, the primary repair and replacement costs are associated with cast iron and unprotected steel pipe. Statistics also show that significant costs of repairing or replacing mains are for pipes in the 4- to 8- inch diameter range.
