Abandonment is another alternative to replacing or rehabilitating a conduit. Abandonment is typically used when a pipe is too deteriorated to rehabilitate and the improvements to the dam do not require replacing the conduit. Abandoning a pipe can cost significantly less than removing a pipe and does not require disturbing the embankment of a dam.
