The Forensic expert kollegium conducts expertise of all types of pipelines.

One type of pipeline is sewer pipelines, malfunction of which may lead to deterioration of the sanitary and epidemiological situation in an area.

Sewerage (sewer pipelines) is an integral part of the water supply and wastewater disposal system intended for removal of technological process waste, as well as human waste products, to disposal sites.

Sewer pipelines are generally non-pressure pipelines. The pipeline components subject to examination include sewer pipes, as well as fittings used for connecting individual pipes and applied at transition points, turns, branches, etc. Pipes and their fittings are manufactured from polymer materials, ceramics, and metallic materials.

During operation of sewer pipelines, cases of their destruction are not uncommon. Based on the expert practice of the Forensic expert kollegium, the most frequent causes of sewer pipeline destruction are:

• violation of installation and laying rules for pipelines on horizontal and vertical sections, resulting in pipelines being subjected to mechanical loads not предусмотренные by the design, uncompensated thermal elongation of pipes;
• presence of defects in the material from which the pipes are manufactured;
• non-compliance of the types of pipes used with the design documentation.

When conducting expertise of sewer pipelines, the following questions are most frequently submitted for resolution:

• What are the causes of destruction (damage) of the pipeline?
• Does the quality of the material (installation work) comply with the requirements of technical regulatory legal acts and design documentation?
• Were there violations of the operating rules for sewer pipelines and are they causally related to the occurrence of the identified defect?

Examinations of sewer pipelines in the Forensic expert kollegium are carried out by qualified specialists in the field of construction and technical expertise and non-destructive testing (visual-measuring, capillary, ultrasonic methods).

For conducting expertise of sewer pipelines, it is desirable to provide specialists of the Forensic expert kollegium with the most complete set of design and operational documentation available.
