Ageing Cast Iron Water Mains; Smart infrastructure; Evidence synthesis; Asset management; Structural health monitoringAbstract
Ageing Cast Iron Water Mains is an area of active development in smart and resilient infrastructure engineering, with evidence
that has accumulated unevenly across its component questions. We review the current evidence base for ageing cast iron water
mains, spanning methodological, implementation, governance, and cost dimensions, focusing on where practice has converged
and where it continues to vary, and set out the practical considerations relevant to an agency considering its adoption. We
conclude that selective, context-specific use is best supported by the evidence currently available, rather than uniform adoption or
avoidance.
