Surface Types

The Sewer module provides you with a modeling program for sewer rehabilitation.  This program centers around the model runs. Several setup modules are provided to help you configure your model runs.  Here, you can indicate details about the type of surface found above the pipe. This helps determine the cost for rehabilitation.  For more information on the model runs, please reference the Sewer Rehab Model help guide.

To access the Surface Types module, select Sewer > Sewer Rehab > Rehab Setup > Pipe Rehab Setup > Surface Types and the following window will appear. 

1. The Surface pick list comes from the Pipe Inventory module. Sample pipe surfaces include Asphalt, Dirt/Grass, etc.
2. The Surface Assignment pick list allows you to indicate if the surface above the pipe is Paved, Unpaved, Heavy Traffic, or Unassigned. If you select Unassigned, the system will assume that the surface is Paved to account for the highest possible rehabilitation cost.
