Austin Water Selects Electro Scan for Innovative Inflow & Infiltration Project


Electro Scan Inc. has been awarded a contract with the Metropolis of Austin Water, Texas, for 20,000 LF venture to judge recognized areas of excessive infiltration the place sources haven’t been discovered utilizing legacy inspection strategies.

Electro Scan provides a full range of products to assess sewers from 3" to 72" diameter pipes, including force mains.

Using a simple electric current, Electro Scan is able to locate every location where water is able to leak from a pipe and measure the size of the hole or orifice to determine severity in either Gallons per Minute or Liters per Second.

Utilizing a easy electrical present, Electro Scan is ready to find each location the place water is ready to leak from a pipe and measure the scale of the opening or orifice to find out severity in both Gallons per Minute or Liters per Second.

Analysis of 8-inch to 24-inch Diameter Sewers Focuses on Identified Areas of Excessive Infiltration Unable to Find Infiltration Utilizing Legacy Inspection Strategies.

It is nice to be returning to the Metropolis of Austin, Texas, which was a long-time buyer of mine once I owned HANSEN SOFTWARE.”

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, USA, Might 11, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Electro Scan Inc. introduced in the present day that it has been awarded a contract by Austin Water, Texas, to conduct a 20,000 linear toes (LF) evaluation of 8-inch to 24-inch sewer mains that the Metropolis has been unable to find sources of infiltration utilizing legacy inspection methods.

Cities and utilities have historically used closed-circuit tv (CCTV) cameras, dye flood testing, floor penetrating radar, lasers, smoke testing, and sonar to evaluate gravity sewer mains. Just lately, some cities have tried utilizing acoustic sensors and synthetic intelligence to re-assess CCTV video.

What makes infiltration so tough to seek out is when rainfall percolates by means of the soil, water enters cracks, unhealthy joints, and leaky buyer connections by means of pathways that may’t be simply seen or traced contributing to sewer backups, overflows, and road flooding.

In distinction, Electro Scan can routinely consider the pipe wall of sewer mains when both empty or stuffed with water, 365-days a yr.

Utilizing its patented know-how, Electro Scan makes use of electrical present to systematically assess full-length 360-degrees of a pipe, mapping all cracks that undergo a pipe wall, leaking joints, unhealthy connections, and different openings; routinely finding each location the place undesirable water can enter or exit a pipe touring although a pipe at 30-45 toes per minute.

At present, Austin Water serves roughly 195,000 sewer connections related to 2,600 miles of sewer mains, together with 124 raise stations.

As a part of this venture, Austin Water chosen quite a few pipe supplies, together with Cured-In-Place Pipe, Polyvinyl Chloride, Strengthened Concrete Pipe, and Vitrified Clay Pipe, with quite a lot of ages to find out if mixtures of pipe supplies and age are contributing components for infiltration.

Austin Water crews will even assist Electro Scan within the area by offering jet vans & operators, visitors management, and entry to again easements, proper of the way, and metropolis streets.

Electro Scan’s machine-intelligent know-how represents a subsequent technology evaluation instrument for underground pipes.

Utilizing easy electrical present, equal to not more than six (6) AA batteries, Electro Scan is ready to find each location the place water is ready to leak from a pipe and measure the scale of the opening or orifice to find out severity in both Gallons per Minute or Liters per Second.

Latest giant scale benchmark testing has proven the most important issue of figuring out pipe situation usually is the contractor that put in the unique pipe or accomplished latest repairs or relining.

Because of tough to entry sewers, Electro Scan will use each its ES-600 truck-mounted probe and ES-600 cell unit.

Austin Water officers and workers, together with hydraulic modelers, shall be visiting Electro Scan within the area to view how the know-how is 3-5 occasions sooner than CCTV digicam operations, how real-time information is displayed throughout every evaluation, and the way information is transmitted and obtainable on the cloud.

One pipe pre-selected sewer principal had a beforehand Deserted CCTV Survey, which Electro Scan tends to simply navigate to appropriately and extra completely assess and quantify main defects.

Previous to the COVID-19 pandemic, Electro Scan accomplished a profitable demonstration inspection of a sewer siphon for Austin Water. Mixed with outcomes from a close-by Electro Scan venture at San Antonio Water Methods, (SAWS), Austin Water reached out to Electro Scan to arrange the present venture.
