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. A common practice for abandoning pipes is to use a cellular concrete grout to fill the existing conduit and any voids surrounding the conduit.
