Becoming PACP Certified

Since first implemented in 2002, the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program has become the accepted method for municipalities, contractors, consultants and manufacturers to record and track sewer pipe defects and assess the condition of infrastructure, leading to better planning for sewer rehabilitation or replacement. It is also being used as a benchmarking tool in stormwater systems, dams and levee pipe systems.PACP was developed by NASSCO with assistance from the Water Research Centre in the U.K. to provide a consistent and standardized sewer pipe evaluation method and a management tool for the collection of CCTV data.“PACP is very widespread now,” says Lynn Osborn of LEO Consulting,
