The City of Arlington Water Utilities has bought Electro Scan’s SWORDFISH Lead Detection and TRIDENT Water Leak Detection options, together with licensing its H2O cloud utility..
As an alternative of digging or excavating, the Electro Scan SWORDFISH is in a position to assess buried lead pipe on each the Utility-side and Buyer-side of a meter or curb field.
Electro Scan’s TRIDENT combines CCTV and Electro Scan Electrical Resistance Testing to find leaks, measure leakage circulation charges in Gallons per Minute, and map inside pipe corrosion.
Electro Scan’s DELTA, TRIDENT, and SWORDFISH symbolize a brand new breed of machine-intelligent pipe situation evaluation instruments not counting on acoustic sensors to hear or cameras to see defects.
After October 16, 2024, the EPA requires every U.S. water utility to present an internet map displaying the pipe materials of each utility-owned and personal property-owned water providers.
Main Texas City Adopts SWORDFISH to Take a look at Water Service Lines for Lead to Assist Meet October 2024 EPA Deadline
— Richard Everhart, Supervisor, Water Conservation, City of Arlington, Texas
DALLAS, TEXAS, USA, July 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Electro Scan Inc. introduced in the present day that it was chosen by the City of Arlington Water Utilities, Texas, to provide each its non-acoustic SWORDFISH Buried Lead Pipe Detection answer and TRIDENT Pressurized Leak Detection answer. Supply and coaching of each merchandise occurred in the course of the week of June 26.
Arlington is residence to 392,000 folks. Ranked because the fiftieth largest metropolis within the U.S. and seventh largest within the State of Texas, Arlington Water Utilities manages 1,456 miles of water principal.
“I’m excited to begin utilizing our SWORDFISH to do our stock of water service strains on the City of Arlington,” said Richard Everhart, Supervisor, Water Conservation, City of Arlington Water Utilities, Texas.
“We’re delighted to broaden our rising customers to embody one of the main water utilities within the U.S.,” said Chuck Hansen, Chairman & CEO, Electro Scan Inc.
“Each SWORDFISH and TRIDENT are a brand new breed of pipe situation evaluation device that don’t depend on acoustic sensors or cameras to hear or see lead pipes or water leaks,” said Hansen.
In a position to exactly find and measure up to 100 particular person leaks in a single pipe or establish lead pipe supplies and soldered joints, Electro Scan’s patented and patent-pending expertise leapfrogs conventional leak detection instruments in its capacity to appropriately assess pipes for restore, rehabilitation, or alternative.
SWORDFISH BURIED LEAD PIPE DETECTION
Arlington Water is a frontrunner in assessing its water service strains in accordance with EPA necessities to establish and take away 100% of its lead service strains. And acknowledges that digging on a buyer’s property is problematic and doesn’t precisely assess your entire size of a pipe to affirm lead pipes.
Moreover its price, digging and excavating additionally dangers the potential for interruption of energy, water providers, and Wi-Fi connection. In consequence of its stay demonstrations of SWORDFISH, it is accuracy to decide particular pipe supplies, and avoidance of digging on a buyer’s property had been key elements in adopting Electro Scan’s award-winning expertise.
In June 2023, Electro Scan’s SWORDFISH was named winner of the ‘Finest of Sensors’ Award for Cleantech/Sustainability.
As half of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Regulation & the Lead and Copper Rule Revision, the EPA requires all 50,000 consuming water utilities to stock & assess utility-side and private-side providers by October 16, 2024.
The Texas Fee on Environmental High quality (TCEQ) has referenced the EPA’s Steerage for Creating and Sustaining a Service Line Stock which incorporates the use of electrical resistance testing to decide pipe supplies, together with lead and copper pipe.

TRIDENT PRESSURIZED PIPE LEAK DETECTION
Tethered and untethered acoustic sensors have a number of shortcomings, together with (1) requiring pipes to function below their highest strain to hear leaks; risking inadvertent pipe wall injury and burst mains, (2) incapacity to assess leaks in plastic pipes, (3) lack of discovering or measuring a number of leaks in the identical pipe, (4) not geared up to decide the dimensions of leaks in an business normal gallons per minute or liters per second, and (5) excessive susceptibility to false-positive and false-negative anomalies, with poor repeatability, that may’t differentiate or remove false leaks till crews have left the sphere.
The City benchmarked TRIDENT on a number of of its stay water mains and beforehand accomplished tasks with a number of different in-pipe leak detection options earlier than adopting the expertise.
Main benefits of Electro Scan’s TRIDENT Leak Detection answer, embody:
o No impact from totally different pressures. Pipes assessed from 0 to 150 psi.
o No impact from totally different pipe supplies, particularly Plastic Pipes.
o No impact from noises or visitors. Resolution is non-acoustic.
o No false-positive or false-negative readings from buyer utilization.
o No impact from excessive or low groundwater circumstances.
o No impact from prior repairs.
o Knowledge displayed in real-time for subject operators to STOP THE CAMERA and permit AI Particle Tracing to affirm water leaks.
The TRIDENT’s capacity to enter pressurized water mains by way of its companion insertion tube, with out requiring pipeline strain shutdowns, limits the chance of injury to already impaired pipes. Shutdowns wanted for different gadgets can typically weaken pipes inflicting ruptures, progressive cracking, or principal breaks.
Whereas televising water mains had been sometimes thought to be helpful for in-pipe navigation solely and present apparent defects, alignment, and development particles, the flexibility to pre-locate leaks utilizing Electro Scan’s permits subject operators to linger or loiter its excessive decision closed-circuit tv (CCTV) digital camera at suspected defect areas, then use Synthetic Intelligence (AI) for particle tracing leaving or getting into the pipe at confirmed leak areas at particular Clock Positions.
Steady CCTV inspection isn’t the answer. Its realizing the place to STOP to affirm leak areas and clock positions.
A serious profit of Electro Scan’s non-acoustic low voltage excessive frequency electrical resistance testing its capacity to measure pipe wall deterioration and corrosion; not obtainable from acoustic sensors, knowledge correlators, knowledge loggers, electro-magnetic, or satellite-based options.
All of Electro Scan’s pressurized pipe situation evaluation merchandise, as featured in Electro Scan’s 2023 Product Catalog, make the most of the identical expertise with knowledge reported to its Important H2O Amazon Net Providers (AWS) cloud utility.
Electro Scan Inc. shall be attending the Texas Rural Water Affiliation (TRWA) Coaching & Technical Convention 2023, July 11-13, 2023, Galveston Island Conference Middle, 5600 Seawall Boulevard, Galveston, Texas.
TRWA is a statewide academic and commerce affiliation with 870 retail public utilities as members that present providers to 3 million clients.
