Services
Root Control
Our chemical root control service prevents blockages in sewer lines using patented foaming technology. By targeting root intrusions proactively, we reduce maintenance costs and extend pipeline lifespan. Municipalities benefit from reduced SSOs and a shift from reactive to preventive maintenance.
Multi-Sensor Inspection
Multi-sensor inspection (MSI) combines CCTV, sonar, and laser profiling to assess pipeline condition comprehensively. This technology identifies root infiltration, grease buildup, and structural defects with high precision, enabling targeted repairs and data-driven maintenance planning.
CIPP Spot Repairs
Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) spot repairs address localized pipeline damage without excavation. Using resin-saturated liners, we restore pipe integrity quickly and cost-effectively, minimizing disruption to municipalities while extending infrastructure lifespan.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Our HDD solutions install underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. This method reduces restoration costs and environmental impact while enabling precise placement of pipes and cables beneath roads, rivers, and sensitive areas.
Open Channel Flow Monitoring
Open channel flow monitoring tracks wastewater volumes using ultrasonic sensors and data loggers. This service identifies inflow/ infiltration issues and supports capacity management, helping utilities optimize system performance and regulatory compliance.
