Wastewater Asset Management Software

Managing your collection system assets

You remember card catalogs, right? Not too long ago, when trying to find helpful documentation on a specific subject, one would start at the card catalog, or even with a printed list. But today, most libraries don't even have card catalogs - and in a growing number of cases, actual book contents are being digitized. . . . Read More

Automating Your Pipeline Inspections

When the first commercial CCTV camera trucks set out to inspect US pipes in 1964, little in world was automated. You got your money from a real person when you went to the bank, cars were still being assembled and painted by humans, and you still had to vacuum you own floor. In the years since, increasing trends in automation have changed so much about the world. Today, I get cash from an ATM, my car was put together in an automated manufacturing plant, and a robot vacuums my floor.

Sewer Pipe Inspection: Mandrels vs. Laser Profiles

How is inspecting a sewer pipe like creating a document? Well, back when typewriters were the norm, you could type an entire page and then look for mistakes. If you found one, you would have to re-type the entire page (for a professional-looking document). However, we now have word processing: you can create the entire document and run spell check, enabling you to quickly change only what's necessary before printing. . . . Read More

PACP: Standardizing Your Inspection Data

It's been said that the only thing worse than not having a sewer pipe rehab budget is having one and rehabbing the wrong pipe. That is exactly what Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) sewer inspection helps prevent. . . . Read More

Large Diameter Pipes & Critical Sewers

Which of your pipes keeps you up at night? In most cases, large diameter interceptor or trunk lines are the culprits keeping you awake when the rest of us are sleeping.

Sewer Infiltration & Inflow

Have you ever walked into a room and stepped into a puddle? If you're like me, you first try to figure out where it came from. Did something spill, is the ceiling leaking, is it coming from underneath the floor? Chances are you should be able to figure out the source of the leak, since you can check out most of the suspected locations. But consider a sewer pipe that is buried deep underground with many paths for liquids to flow into the pipes, and the entire system creating additional inflow and infiltration that it was never designed to handle. . . .

Profiling Sonar: Inspecting In-Service, Submerged Pipes

Over 70% of the world is covered with water. What percentage of the pipe infrastructure is underwater? The answer is: it varies widely. Flow levels in pipes can fluctuate depending on the time of day, weather events, and numerous other factors. This is particularly true with larger diameter pipes, where it is common to have a percentage of the pipe always underwater. . . . Read More

Trenchless Technology, What is it Anyway?

Trenchless technology, often referred to as "no dig", is a rapidly growing engineering industry that eliminates the need for surface excavation. Trenchless technology is also used to minimize environmental damage and to reduce the costs associated with underground work. In other words, trenchless technology provides cost-effective sewer asset management. It involves pipe and sewer inspection, rehabilitation, and cleaning services.
