Description:
Subsurface infrastructure is an absolute necessity of modern societies nowadays. One of the complex and extensive components of this subsurface infrastructure is piping systems used for diverse applications, including sewer lines, drainage lines, subway tunnels, water mains, gas lines, culverts, and utility conduits. However, these buried lifelines are often forgotten unless they deteriorate and fail, resulting in costly service disruption, repairs, multiple ripping of roads, and time-consuming litigation.

Proper engineering knowledge is the key to solving this problem.
