Monitoring flow in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP)

Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP), or Bonna pipes, present a unique challenge for flow measurement due to their complex, multi-layered construction. These pipes feature a concrete core, a steel cylinder, and outer layers of prestressed steel wires within a mortar coating. Traditionally, accurately and reliably measuring flow within these structures has been incredibly difficult. Any flow measurement employed needs to offer solutions for both clean and sewage water, and deliver safe, efficient and long-term flow monitoring for these complex piping systems.
