Short summary
This paper presents an assessment of quantity and quality performance of a trunk main cleaning using ice slurry pigging intervention. Hydraulic calibration showed a 7x roughness height reduction after ice slurry pigging, although turbidity response due to carefully imposed shear stress increase remained significant, indicating loose materials had not been fully removed from the pipe wall. Due to ongoing material accumulation, one-off intervention may not be sufficient to manage the quality risk.
