Foreword
The Technical Committee for the Underground Pipeline Asset Management (UPAM) Committee
of the Pipeline Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is pleased to present
the Proceedings of the International Pipelines Conference 2008, Pipeline Asset Management:
Maximizing Performance of our Pipeline Infrastructure, July 22-27, Omni Hotel at CNN Center,
Atlanta, Georgia.

With shrinking budgets and continued deterioration of our aging systems, there are compelling
reasons to support a proactive and intelligent approach to the infrastructure evaluation and
management. The papers in this conference address how owners and engineers might proceed with
collecting attribute information associated with their collection systems, identifying potential
problems within the system, determining capacity issues and ultimately developing effective
maintenance and rehabilitation strategies to mitigate these problems in a cost-effective manner.

An infrastructure asset is any long-lived capital asset. Managers of municipal infrastructure assets
must make difficult technical decisions regarding when and how to maintain, repair, or renew their
assets. Managers are called upon to allocate funds amongst competing yet deserving needs, with
insufficient or incomplete data at their disposal. This makes for an extremely challenging
environment especially from a long-term decision-making point of view. Over twenty papers in
this conference address this very important issue of Pipeline Asset Management for today and
tomorrow.

Finally, many advances have been made in the areas of pipeline planning, design, durability,
operations, and maintenance. This conference highlights applications of current technologies as
well as emerging technologies and research in these important areas.

With almost 150 published papers, the success of the conference is a result of the volunteer efforts
of a large number of dedicated professionals including authors, session moderators and members of
the Conference Committee. All papers have been peer reviewed and are of a quality that meets or
exceeds the standards of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The dedication and hard work of ASCE Staff is greatly appreciated.

Special thanks go to all the conference sponsors as well as the Construction Management Program,
Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee,
and Fibrwrap Construction, Inc., Ontario, California, for providing the necessary resources and
support towards this conference. In particular, we wish to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts
of Behnam Hashemi, a graduate student in the Construction Management Program, Department of
Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington.
