Leakage of underground tap water pipelines is a common problem, which not only affects the utilization of water resources, but also brings a lot of inconvenience to people's production and life. So, what is the cause of leakage in the underground water pipeline? And how to solve it? This article will give you a detailed answer.
1. The cause of water leakage in the underground pipeline of tap water.
1.Aging of pipes.
The underground water pipeline is in the underground humid environment for a long time, which is easy to cause the aging and corrosion of the pipeline. Especially in some old communities, due to the long use of pipelines and the lack of maintenance, cracks and leakage of pipelines occur.
2.Improper construction.
In the construction process of tap water underground pipelines, if the construction is not standardized or the quality is not up to standard, it is easy to lead to water leakage. For example, the pipe connection is not properly sealed, or the pipe is buried deep enough, resulting in cracks in the pipe due to external loads.
3.Poor geological conditions.
Geological conditions are also an important cause of water leakage in underground water pipelines. In the case of poor geological conditions such as soft soil foundation or quicksand, the pipeline is prone to settlement or displacement, resulting in pipeline rupture or loose interface, and eventually lead to water leakage.
4.Man-made sabotage.
In addition, vandalism is also a cause of leakage in underground water pipelines. For example, during municipal construction or underground excavation, underground pipelines may be damaged, resulting in pipe rupture or loose interfaces, resulting in water leakage.
Second, the solution to the leakage of the underground pipeline of tap water.
1.Update the pipeline.
For severely aging pipelines, the best solution is to update the pipelines. Replacing old pipes with new plastic or stainless steel pipes not only avoids the problem of aging pipes, but also improves water quality hygiene standards. At the same time, in the process of replacing the pipeline, attention should be paid to the construction quality and acceptance standards to ensure that the pipeline connection is well sealed and there will be no water leakage.
2.Strengthen construction quality control.
In the construction process of tap water underground pipelines, construction quality control should be strengthened to ensure that the pipeline connections are well sealed and the buried depth meets the requirements of the code. At the same time, quality inspection and acceptance should also be carried out during the construction process, and rectification and repair should be carried out in a timely manner for the problems that arise.
3.Take anti-settling measures.
For the case of poor geological conditions, corresponding anti-settlement measures should be taken. For example, measures such as reinforcement around the pipe and flexible joints can be used to reduce the load and displacement of the pipeline. At the same time, high-quality soil is backfilled around the pipeline and compacted to increase the stability of the pipeline.
4.Strengthen inspections and maintenance.
In order to reduce the impact of man-made damage on underground water pipelines, inspections and maintenance should be strengthened. Regularly inspect and maintain the pipeline to find and deal with problems in a timely manner. At the same time, in the process of municipal construction and underground excavation, corresponding protective measures and safety warning signs should be set up in advance.
In short, the problem of water leakage in underground water pipelines is a complex and common problem, which requires us to take a variety of measures to prevent and solve. Only by strengthening management and maintenance work can we ensure the normal operation and service life of underground water pipelines.
