Underground pipelines are the lifeline of a city, an important channel for urban material flow and energy flow, and are closely related to people’s lives.
Underground pipelines are characterized by concealment, variety and complexity. The specific problems in the maintenance and management of underground pipelines are as follows:
· Difficult to identify pipelines.
· Manhole cover management is difficult.
· Traditional way of maintenance.
· Difficult to manage inspectors.
Maintenance and management of underground pipelines can be very challenging. The application of RFID tags, in underground pipeline maintenance can solve these problems.
First, RFID technology makes the tracking of underground pipes and manhole covers simple and accurate. With RFID tags, it is easier to obtain information on pipes and manhole covers for maintenance management and greatly simplifying the maintenance process.
In addition, maintenance work and maintenance personnel often face challenges such as difficult administrative work and difficult personnel management. The application of RFID electronic labels, can help alleviate these problems. Since tags help track employee behavior and work progress, management can easily monitor their work and ensure that work is done efficiently.
Another problem with underground pipeline maintenance is the slow response to missing manhole covers. Missing manhole covers pose a serious safety hazard to the public and workers. However, using UHF RFID tags, lost covers can be quickly identified and the necessary authorities notified immediately.
UHF RFID tags, can also help address safety concerns. Proper maintenance is critical to preventing accidents, especially in highly hazardous locations such as underground pipelines and manholes. Accurately tracking maintenance work using RFID stickers helps ensure that maintenance is done efficiently and safely.
Today, smart manhole covers, like smart parking and smart street lights, are already an important module in the construction of smart cities. In developed countries, RFID technology is widely used in the management and inspection of manhole covers. Some countries adopt the method of installing two labels on one manhole cover, that is, one is installed on the manhole cover and the other is installed near the manhole cover. On the ground, it can ensure that when the manhole cover is lost or damaged, another tag can be easily found for information reading. Currently, both the UK and Japan adopt this method. On this basis, the United States also installed video monitors under the manhole cover to improve the safety factor. Countries such as Germany and Denmark adopt the method of embedding a single electronic tag into the manhole cover to complete the daily intelligent inspection work.
The smart manhole cover is not only noise-proof and shock-proof, but also has an automatic alarm function. It is no longer “movable if you want”. There is an RFID label under the smart manhole cover. Once the manhole cover is secretly moved and has an inclination angle of not less than 15 degrees. It can timely and accurately send alarm information to the intelligent management platform of the urban management department. After the platform receives the alarm information, it can use the map fixed-point function to accurately grasp the location of the manhole cover and take corresponding measures.
Overall, the application of RFID tags in underground pipeline maintenance management is promising.
