Special Safeguards Undertaken to Limit Disruption to Environmentally Sensitive Farmlands & Livestock While Using PPE and COVID-19 Social Distancing
LONDON, ENGLAND, July 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Electro Scan (UK) Limited has completed its second sewer assessment project in 2020 for Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW). Using its patented state-of-the-art technology, the company's machine-intelligent sensors limit customer service disruptions, protects environmentally sensitive farmlands by eliminating the need for bypass pumping, and accurately locates & quantifies pipe leakage in a variety of pipe materials, including the ability to test Cured-In-Place Pipes (CIPP) liners for watertightness.Traditionally, water utilities have used high resolution closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to internally inspect sewer pipes, requiring little to no flow in a pipe to visually see & record defects, possible obstructions, and leakage.
When pipes have higher flows, utilities may require above ground pipes to temporarily divert and bypass existing pipe flows to facilitate visual CCTV inspections.
Often requiring expensive equipment that may inconvenience property owners, and risk environmental quality, the use of newer technologies eliminate such drawbacks to accurately and safely locate defects when pipes are full.
In contrast to traditional CCTV cameras, Electro Scan uses a focused low voltage electric current, equivalent to six (6) AA batteries, to precisely locate any crack, bad joint, or improperly connected junction that may leak rainwater into a pipe (infiltration) or sewage out of a pipe (exfiltration).
The partnership of Bradley Weston, Electro Scan's UK Director, and Callum Meredith and his team at Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, insured the project was completed safely and with no impact to environmentally sensitive farmland, streams or livestock where the project was located.
Electro Scan's Bradley Weston was joined by Mike App, Vice President, U.S.-based Electro Scan Inc., and tasked by DCWW to locate and quantify infiltration on gravity sewers in the area of Mounton Brook near Chepstow.
Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL) was recommended based on its ability to assess sewer mains without the need for bypass pumping and the availability of equipment to do off-road surveys without requiring a van or truck.
All landowners were notified prior to commencing field work and field safety was maintained in accordance with Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water standard & practices, especially in the current situation with COVID-19.
