Large Florida Utility Saving Money Through Innovation

Definitive sewer inspection program identifies real and substantial cost-cutting measures by precisely targeting infiltration sources at joints & tap connections.

After spending decades and millions of dollars rehabilitating sewer pipes across its service area, a large coastal utility embarked on a pilot pipe condition assessment program for 25,000 linear feet in areas prone to high unwanted infiltration rates.

Electro Scan’s Focused Electrode Leak Location technology, or FELL, offers an innovative departure from legacy pipe inspection methods, such as visual CCTV, dye testing, smoke testing, among many others. The key advantages of FELL inspection is obtaining precise pipe defect locations, to within 1 cm, as well as a quantified infiltration flow rate for each defect, reported in Gallons Per Minute.
