New Case Study - City of Gresham

KenWave is excited to share our latest case study on a novel DRI™ external pipe condition assessment technology! This cutting-edge solution offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting pipe wall conditions, ensuring infrastructure integrity. Dive into the details and see how this innovation can transform your asset management strategies!

KenWave’s application of DRI™ technology successfully achieved a structural thickness profile with a high resolution of 6 feet, pinpointing significant degradation across inspected lengths. To verify the DRI™ results, the City of Gresham conducted a validation project using ultrasonic testing (UT) on pipe coupons from nine specific locations. The UT testing corroborated the DRI™ findings with an impressive 95% to 99% accuracy rate, confirming the reliability of KenWave’s technology in assessing both cast iron (CI) and ductile iron (DI) pipes.

We’d like to thank Wendy Andaya and the team at the City of Gresham for their tremendous support.
