1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR concerns the actual installed local gas pipelines, local water and sewer mains, and local hot-water and steam pipelines, delivered as complete physical civil entities (un-cpc3-2025, printed/PDF p.280). Local water/sewer mains are distinct from treatment plants (p.281). The method is needed for medium-specific joints, network interfaces, chambers, thermal protection and actual acceptance construction; classification alone does not establish identity. Manufactured pipe methods can supply upstream evidence, but do not replace this installed entity. Long-distance transmission, nonpipeline aqueducts, treatment/generating plants, internal building plumbing and separately purchased construction services are outside this category.

Use the entire owner-defined main/network between surveyed interfaces, including actually delivered junctions, chambers, valves, supports, branch connections, condensate return where applicable and contracted reinstatement. An independently accepted reach is permissible only when its physical scope and complete interfaces are documented; never omit inconvenient crossings or thermal/acceptance work by choosing a smaller material route. A data package for a genuinely partial delivery remains explicitly incomplete.

The foreground is construction from recorded preconstruction site and supplied-material states through actual inspection, tests, corrections and acceptance. Supplier manufacture is separately linked upstream; ordinary conveyance, heating/pumping after handover, maintenance, replacement and eventual dismantling/fates are separate stages. This is neither automatically complete cradle-to-gate nor a full-life method. No default lifetime, capacity, pipe mass per metre, mix ratio, loss or energy rate is supplied. HK mainlaying/civil specifications and the US heat guide/report inform their stated routes, not global compliance or default numeric requirements.

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Deliver the complete local main/network passage for its specified gas, water, sewage, hot-water or steam duty and actual integral connections
How much	One complete accepted delivery unit. Survey centreline length of each carrier/branch/return separately, bore/wall, burial/gradient, chamber dimensions, supports and restored area. Record actual hydraulic/thermal capacity, pressure and temperature conditions; lengths/areas/capacities qualify this same entity, not interchangeable reference denominators.
How well	Actual certified material/joint/protection configuration, applicable project acceptance criteria and signed inspection/test results; gravity sewer gradient and leakage, pressure-main duty, gas compatibility, and heat expansion/insulation are route-specific
How long or cycle	One actual construction-to-acceptance cycle including rework/retest; service duration for later lifecycle stages requires separate evidence
reference_flow_link	`finished_pipeline`

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Accepted complete local pipeline delivery unit
Reference flow property	Number of items `01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345`
Reference unit group	Units of items `5beb6eed-33a9-47b8-9ede-1dfe8f679159`
Reference unit	item
Required qualifiers	asset/site/country; main/network interfaces and integral-work scope; conveyed medium; actual as-built carrier/branch/return lengths and bore/wall/burial/gradient; chamber/support/restoration geometry; actual capacity/duty/pressure/temperature; material grade/lining/coating/joint/insulation/casing and factory-assembly boundary; route and preconstruction/retained state; supplier interfaces; acceptance specification/date/tests/corrections; boundary extensions and unresolved coverage

item is the display alias of the public Item(s) count unit for this one complete configured civil entity. It does not imply equal lengths, capacities or performance across entities. Mass, monetary cost and an arbitrary kilometre are not substitutes; no entire-network mass is invented.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items	item	Output is 1 item of the same complete accepted configuration, established through cp_delivery. All inventory and protocol aggregation is per declared reference flow.
preserve_physical_units	inventory rows with native Mass, Volume or Length properties	Mass; Volume; Length	kg; m3; m	Preserve the actual primary property. Weigh net quantities; survey actual lengths; meter liquid/gas volume at declared conditions. Convert using same-lot measured density/linear mass and calibration evidence only; do not rewrite public properties or use screening density. Electricity follows electricity_basis with Net calorific value/MJ and the measured kWh-to-MJ conversion. The complete accepted network reference output follows Number of items/item. These energy and counted output exchanges are excluded from this material-unit rule and retain their own numerator and reference roles.
electricity_basis	cn_lv_power; cn_mv_power	Net calorific value	MJ	Keep the verified energy property/group; measured kWh × 3.6 = MJ. Separate user-voltage interfaces and exclude double counting of transformations/generators.
asset_share	shoring_steel; excavator_share; wood_pallet	Mass	kg	Measured same-configuration asset mass multiplied by a supported dimensionless manufacture share is an attributable input, not reference-product mass. Across all beneficiaries/reuses cumulative shares must be <=1; unknown life/activity requires review.
chemical_fraction	hypochlorite_solution; no_air; no2_air; pm25_air; pm_coarse_air	Mass	kg	Keep solution mass separate from active chlorine; keep molecular species and nonoverlapping particle fractions separate. Total NOx, total dust or a single concentration cannot establish these exchanges without a supported conversion and actual flow/time.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Surveyed existing site/retained network state and identified supplier-gate material/assembly interfaces before the construction cycle
starting_condition_role	foreground_start
product_classification_scope	Actual installed local gas/water/sewer/hot-water/steam pipelines with integral declared construction, CPC3.0 53251 as scope context
recursive_input_rule	A pre-existing or purchased complete local-pipeline entity is a separately identified retained/input asset with provenance and interface; do not recursively regenerate all earlier construction. New measured work remains distinct and may not re-charge retained manufacture.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link route/geography/year-compatible material/component manufacture, supply energy, actual transport and treatment datasets; disclose unavailable links and included boundaries. Site assembly and field tests stay foreground.
disclosure	State supplier interfaces, actual construction/acceptance limits, retained assets, excluded operation/end-of-life and all additional included stages. The site-only inventory is not complete upstream or full life.

rule_id	Rule	source_ids
b_integral	Include actual integral main/branch connections, chambers, support/thermal/return works, testing/rework and restoration to the declared acceptance interface; do not turn the entity into a pipe-manufacturing or service record.	`un-cpc3-2025`
b_supplied	Document whether inputs are bare pipe, lined pipe, complete preinsulated assembly, precast chamber or individual products. Embedded materials are counted once; unresolved supplier boundaries prevent completeness.	`wsd-mainlaying-2023`; `ufgs-heat-2024`
b_stage	Measure construction and actual pre-handover tests separately from later conveyed product, pumping/heating, maintenance/replacement, demolition and disposal. A complete-life claim requires separately evidenced stages and duration.
b_water	Separate purchased water, actual natural withdrawal, liquid waste to treatment, recovered external condensate and final direct receiver release. Internal recirculation is not repeated withdrawal or external output.

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
logistics	Construction logistics	required	Actual material/plant deliveries and exported waste trips within the declared construction account; preserve supplier transport interfaces.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
earthworks	Site preparation, excavation and bedding	required	Always assess site/retained-asset survey; apply actual open-cut trenches or trenchless pits, shoring and dewatering only where present.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
pipe_assembly	Main installation, joints and integral chambers	required	Install the actual declared gas/water/sewer main with route-specific materials and components; for a heat-only unit its carrier installation is in heat_protection.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
trenchless	Trenchless crossing and annular filling	conditional	Actual jacking, directional drilling or other evidenced non-open-cut method; record drilling/pit/spoil/water route without assuming one method.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
heat_protection	Hot-water/steam carrier, return, insulation and support installation	conditional	Actual local hot-water or steam system; retain chosen certified system, actual condensate-return scope and factory-vs-field assembly boundary.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
restoration	Backfill, compaction and surface reinstatement	required	Actual disturbed site and contracted surface restoration through acceptance; internal reusable soil stays in the balance.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
commissioning	Inspection, medium-specific testing and acceptance handover	required	Actual complete delivery interfaces and applicable inspection/test/repair/retest records; medium and criteria follow the real project specification.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow
construction_support	Operation-resolved construction utilities, plant and releases	required	Accounts record actual operation/task meters and releases across the site processes; utility rows do not imply every fuel or emission occurs.	foreground_construction	per declared reference flow

The stages are physically operation-resolved: survey/utility location → actual surface removal and excavation/pits/shoring/dewatering → bedding/pipe lowering → actual material-specific cutting, mechanical jointing, steel welding, PE fusion or specified solvent bonding → integral chamber/thrust/support/heat-protection works → interleaved inspection, backfill/compaction, testing/corrections → surface reinstatement and signed handover. Record the actual order; testing may precede final backfill. Site_support quantities retain the operation_id, equipment and meter and are allocated once to these actual stages. No card makes its flow mandatory: document evidenced absence for inapplicable routes, and add each actual unlisted chemical/component/waste/release as a separate atomic row before calling the data package complete. Marine transmission, plant treatment and building service routes are not used to fill local-main evidence gaps.

particles (PM2.5 - PM10) (`pm_coarse_air`)

Only the quantified nonoverlapping PM2.5–PM10 fraction released externally, immediate air/unspecified. PM10 total is not the coarse fraction; other actual subcompartments need their own identities.

Selected flow: particles (PM2.5 - PM10) 08a91e70-3ddc-11dd-9501-0050c2490048
Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
Amount rule: Measured net attributable exchange quantity in the declared physical state; retain original operation records and reconciliation.
Value mode: foreground_record
Specificity: site_specific
Normalization basis: per declared reference flow
Basis kind: reference_flow
Evidence kind: collected_record
Collection protocol: cp_air

methane (fossil) (`methane_air`)

Only actual measured/supported fossil CH4 released immediately to air, unspecified, before acceptance from gas admission/venting/leaks or combustion. Keep actual composition and retained line pack; no default vent or leak fraction, no biogenic or long-term proxy.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Rule	source_ids
a_direct	Assign material, utility, transport, test and waste quantities directly to recorded tasks/interfaces where possible. Shared site meter quantities require actual submeter/task evidence and a conserved ledger over all beneficiaries; do not invent allocation by cost, diameter or an assumed kilometre.
a_assets	For each reusable plant/shoring/pallet retain same-configuration measured mass, supported total service/activity basis and documented dimensionless manufacture shares. Across projects, periods and reuse cumulative shares <=1. Unknown total activity/life is unresolved review, not full burden per project. Do not also include this manufacture in a rental/service dataset.
a_waste	The declared pipeline is the single delivery output. Returned usable material/pallet/condensate is separately identified by actual state and receiver; waste is not a co-product by default. Declare actual off-site recycling/treatment boundaries and do not add assumed avoided virgin production.

System boundary rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`b_integral`	foreground_system_boundary	Include actual integral main/branch connections, chambers, support/thermal/return works, testing/rework and restoration to the declared acceptance interface; do not turn the entity into a pipe-manufacturing or service record.	un-cpc3-2025
`b_supplied`	foreground_system_boundary	Document whether inputs are bare pipe, lined pipe, complete preinsulated assembly, precast chamber or individual products. Embedded materials are counted once; unresolved supplier boundaries prevent completeness.	wsd-mainlaying-2023, ufgs-heat-2024
`b_stage`	foreground_system_boundary	Measure construction and actual pre-handover tests separately from later conveyed product, pumping/heating, maintenance/replacement, demolition and disposal. A complete-life claim requires separately evidenced stages and duration.
`b_water`	foreground_system_boundary	Separate purchased water, actual natural withdrawal, liquid waste to treatment, recovered external condensate and final direct receiver release. Internal recirculation is not repeated withdrawal or external output.

Allocation rules · 3

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule
`a_direct`	foreground_burden_allocation	Assign material, utility, transport, test and waste quantities directly to recorded tasks/interfaces where possible. Shared site meter quantities require actual submeter/task evidence and a conserved ledger over all beneficiaries; do not invent allocation by cost, diameter or an assumed kilometre.
`a_assets`	foreground_burden_allocation	For each reusable plant/shoring/pallet retain same-configuration measured mass, supported total service/activity basis and documented dimensionless manufacture shares. Across projects, periods and reuse cumulative shares <=1. Unknown total activity/life is unresolved review, not full burden per project. Do not also include this manufacture in a rental/service dataset.
`a_waste`	foreground_burden_allocation	The declared pipeline is the single delivery output. Returned usable material/pallet/condensate is separately identified by actual state and receiver; waste is not a co-product by default. Declare actual off-site recycling/treatment boundaries and do not add assumed avoided virgin production.

Validation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`v_delivery`	foreground_dataset_conformance	Require all reference qualifiers, 1 item of complete actual accepted output, actual geometry/capacity/duty conditions and matching cp_delivery. Failed/partial handover remains incomplete; a classification match is not methodology approval.	un-cpc3-2025
`v_medium`	foreground_dataset_conformance	Check water/pressure, gravity-sewer, gas and heat test/inspection routes against the actual specification and supplied material state. HK and US source numeric requirements are not default inventory or universal approvals; include actual repair/retest.	wsd-mainlaying-2023, cedd-civil-2026, ufgs-heat-2024, phmsa-distribution-2024
`v_identity`	foreground_dataset_conformance	Verify each selected flow against its real primary property, state, route, geography, chemistry, compartment and unit group; unresolved identities keep exact atomic rows and review gaps. CN power voltage, HK water gate, gas pressure/volume and factory-assembly inclusions remain explicit.
`v_balance`	foreground_dataset_conformance	All inventory/protocol bases are per declared reference flow. Conserve task/meter/material/water balances, trace actual density/linear-mass conversions and cumulative asset shares. Unproved mathematical relationships require review.
`v_release`	foreground_dataset_conformance	Reject NO/NO2/N2O, NOx-equivalent, particle-size, fossil/biogenic, immediate/long-term, water-resource/wastewater and receiver mismatches. Missing direct release quantities are explicitly unresolved, never invented from equipment/fuel presence.
`v_completeness`	foreground_dataset_conformance	Check all required/applicable stages and actual additional atomic exchanges, upstream links, internal assembly exclusions, bilingual row/rule/UUID consistency, noise/land/ecology coverage and lifecycle exclusions. Structural checks do not verify actual engineering acceptance, scientific approval or full-life completeness.
