RJN Group Inc., Conducts Flow Monitoring And I/I Analysis For Baltimore County

RJN Group, Inc. (RJN) is providing flow monitoring and infiltration/inflow (I/I) analysis services for the Baltimore County Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering and Construction. Baltimore County is committed to reducing I/I in the sanitary sewer collection system. This project will provide data and analysis results with which the County can prioritize areas within the evaluated sanitary sewer collection system based on I/I severity. Data collected will also be used to calibrate hydraulic models identifying capacity limitations within the system.

RJN will perform continuous sanitary sewer flow monitoring and conduct I/I analysis at 130 locations in eight sewersheds in southeast Baltimore County for a period of 12 months. The collection system flow will be measured as it responds to storm events; ensuring that there is an accurate basis of data to use in performing the I/I analysis and for calibration of hydraulic models to be used for evaluation of long-term capacity and peak flow management.
