Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve project performance analysis indicators for BTL sewer rehabilitation projects. Among the assessment indicators for BTL sewer rehabilitation projects, an infiltration assessment indicator is given a high score of 17.5 points as a single assessment item. This infiltration assessment indicator is assessed focusing on the amount of infiltration, and presently calculated according to 'Nighttime Domestic Flow Evaluation' method. However, this assessment indicator's failure to reflect the geological features of Jeju region is emerging as a problem in the operational stage. Thus, this study intended to compare and analyze the calculation result depending on the assessment indicators and the actual amount of infiltration, centering on Jeju region. To this end, this study analyzed the amount of infiltration in five areas of Jeju Province calculated according to 'Nighttime Domestic Flow Evaluation' method. Also, a complete enumeration survey was carried out about the conditions for actual infiltration occurrence. According to the results of this survey, ground water level is distributed lower than the level of sewer pipes. The results of a sewer pipe function test show there was no infiltration occurrence caused by sewer pipe defect. So, it is concluded that 'Nighttime Domestic Flow Evaluation' method, which is utilized for the current assessment indicator, is not appropriate to apply to Jeju region, and it is thought that there is a need to establish infiltration criteria specialized for Jeju region.
