AMERICAN SpiralWeld Pipe Performs In New Music City Stadium Project

What do the Indy Music City Grand Prix, Taylor Swift Eras Tours concerts, Country Music Awards Festival, and college and NFL football games have in common? These and other events were held at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, in the spring, summer, and fall of 2023.

Addressing Fouling Challenges In Desalination With Prefiltration

Prefiltration is the first line of defense against fouling and is a critical part of the overall desalination process. These systems remove solids that can compromise delicate RO membranes.

The Dos And Don’ts Of Buying A Portable Push Camera

Purchasing an inspection camera can be one of your most important investments in the drain cleaning industry. Having the right camera in your toolset can boost your efficiency, productivity and ultimately, your profitability.

How pH Standards Impact The Accuracy Of Water Quality Measurements

When it comes to pH measurement in water and wastewater treatment, there are two focal points for the word ‘standard’ — one is a compliance-related state or federal water quality specification; the other is a specific fluid used as a calibration reference point to ensure pH instrumentation accuracy. Here is why both are important and how they affect the best pH measurement outcomes in both areas.

City Of Columbus: Facilities And Safety Training Management

The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

Cost-Efficient Stormwater Network Solution For New Housing Complex

In this case study, read about how using OpenFlows StormCAD saved $10,000 and avoided a potential six-month construction delay.

Arsenic III vs. Total Arsenic: What Is The Difference?

In this article, learn what differentiates arsenic III and arsenic v, two different oxidation states of the chemical element arsenic.

Water Loss Control For Utilities

Water utilities across the United States have made great strides in controlling water loss within their water distribution systems. However, more can be done to account for every last drop of water.

Drought Conditions Push LADWP To Build Two 1,4 Dioxane Treatment Plants With VOC And Peroxide Quenching Post Treatment

San Fernando Groundwater Basin Remediation Project was constructed by Kiewit in a progressive design build effort with Stantec Engineering. The objective was to restore the groundwater basin with tough times with many years of drought conditions through two treatment plant sites the North Hollywood Central Facility and Tujunga Well Field.

Winery Becomes California’s Most Eco-Friendly With Advanced Biological Treatment And Nutrient Removal

The TITAN MBR helped a winery become the first ever to earn a LEED Platinum Certification for new construction in 2018 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

EPA Researchers Develop Method For Studying Agricultural Nutrient Pollution In The Midwest

Nutrient pollution from nitrogen and phosphorus is one of the most pressing issues currently facing U.S. waterways. When these nutrients exceed natural amounts, it can lead to harmful algal blooms and hypoxia, which threaten aquatic biodiversity, as well as human health and industries like commercial fishing.

Reducing Flood Risk In A Highly Urbanized Area

Most urban areas in the U.S. were built before stormwater managers truly understood the impact of converting pervious areas into impervious areas or just how much the population would grow. As a result, a significant portion of stormwater infrastructure, particularly in the older portions of our cities and towns, are well undersized for the intended levels of service.
