Mr Przybyla will present a new method for pipe assessment that allows the classification of damage according to the increasing degree of risk a pipe presents using “÷pairwise comparisons’. It is the basis for the design of expert tools which enable global assessment of the state of pipe. The method differs from standard methods of classification used in Poland.
