SEWERS & SEWER LINE MAINTENANCE RESOURCES

• A Handy Tool For Wet Well Maintenance: Cutting Through The FOG

  Blame our fast food diets or restaurants’ negligence for what’s going down the drain. Whatever the cause, fats, oil, and grease (FOG) accumulation has become a pervasive problem for wastewater treat­ment plant collection systems.

• Long Beach Water Department Increases Efficiency With AVEVA SCADA Solution

  Discover how AVEVA helped operate and maintain nearly 765 miles of sewer lines, and deliver more than 40 million gallons of wastewater per day to Los Angeles County sanitation district facilities. 

• North American Benchmark Study Comparing CCTV Vs. FELL Inspection On 322 Gravity Sewer Mains

  This study presents key findings for a first-of-its-kind 14-mile North American pipeline benchmark study that compared CCTV inspection against FELL inspection results. 

• Geospray Prevents Further Corrosion

  A 54” concrete sewer in Bloomington, IL, was beginning to show signs of corrosive deterioration above the flow line of the sewer. They were interested in GeoSpray mortar's capabilities as a geopolymer mortar.

• Interceptor Sewer Rehabilitation In Lucas County, Ohio

  Rehabilitating the Lucas County Interceptor Sewer No. 500 was a two-phase project. The most recent phase required a solution that would be impervious to the corrosive influences found in these environments. 

• Industrial Wastewater: Eliminating Pipe Obstructions With Superior Cleaning Nozzles

  Contractors can dramatically speed pipe cleaning and prevent process disruptions and downtime using a variety of high-performance hose nozzles.

• Seizing The Water Infrastructure Moment Nationally And Locally

  The recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act holds promise to address them via an infusion of more than $57 billion to states and localities over the next five years, but more federal funding alone will not solve everything. Federal, state, and local leaders are in a crucial implementation phase to figure out what types of priorities and projects they are going to act on.

• Sewage Pollution: Our Research Reveals The Scale Of England’s Growing Problem

  The UK has around 1,500 individual river systems, totaling over 200,000 km, or roughly 124,274 miles, in length. It’s common for sewers here to accept both untreated human waste and rain water in a combined system. Water and sewerage companies are permitted to release this wastewater into inland and coastal waters without treatment under exceptional conditions, such as following heavy rainfall.

• Utilities: It’s Time To Re-evaluate Headlamp Specifications

  Technological advancement enables intrinsically safe headlamps to improve safety and operator performance more cost effectively.

• Why It’s Smart To Increase Your Sewer Network Monitoring

  Effectively managing hundreds of thousands of miles of sewer network is not an enviable task. And with ever changing industry regulation, stricter statutory targets, additional compliance, and a growing abundance of technology, that task could easily be regarded as insurmountable. How can you ever know exactly what’s going on throughout your entire network? It’s impossible. Or is it?
