Record-Setting Pipeline Enables Water Reuse Across The James River

In this episode of The Water Online Show, hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling explore Garney Construction’s groundbreaking project — a 5,700-foot horizontal directional drill (HDD) installing a 42-inch HDPE pipeline under the James River, Virginia. Guests Jordan Carrier and Matt McKinnon discuss the engineering challenges, design-build collaboration, and water reuse benefits. The project showcases innovation in HDD technology and cross-departmental teamwork to enhance regional water sustainability.

FEATURED ARTICLES

Operation And Maintenance Realities Of Non-Clog Sewage Pumps

Pump clogs cause sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and backed up lift stations that damage the environment. They also put public health at risk and lead to regulatory fines for the utility.

Secondary Containment Requirements For Aboveground Storage Tanks

Read about aboveground storage tanks, which are a common sight in manufacturing across the U.S.

Using Smart Pump Technology To Stretch Your Budget

Read an overview of the technology involved in fully integrated, self-contained smart pump solutions, and the benefits it has to offer across a broad range of applications. 

EPA PFAS Drinking Water Standards: Ensuring Safe And Clean Water

In this article, Transcend will highlight the importance of EPA PFAS drinking water standards as well as how they ensure safe and clean water systems. We also provide the opportunity to streamline wastewater design for utilities, engineering consultants, and equipment suppliers.

Solving Foaming Problems At Your WWTP

This project provides an unusual before-and-after comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.

The Importance Of Pilot Testing Capital Investments For Wastewater Treatment Plants

By providing valuable data and insights, pilot tests enable facilities to make informed decisions, optimize their operations, and mitigate risks associated with new technologies.

Why Ceramic Membranes Are Changing The Marketplace

Despite their higher upfront cost, ceramic membranes deliver a notable return on investment while providing the same if not better water quality results as polymeric membranes.

Ensuring Continuous Water Supply During Emergency Hospital Line Repair

A construction-related leak caused problems for a North Carolina hospital — the leak could not be repaired without shutting off service to the hospital. Discover why they turned to the Insta-Valve to stop the leak without disrupting the flow of water.

UK PVC Windows And Doors Manufacturer Uses Galaxy Filters To Achieve High Quality Process Water

One of the UK’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of PVC windows and doors expanded production and required an increase in their cooling water. Read the full case study to learn how Amiad helped.
