When it comes to managing underground infrastructure assets, many municipalities and utilities rely on drawings that no longer reflect what actually exists underground. Over the years, pipes shift, repairs are made, and records become outdated. When pipe location, slope, or elevation is uncertain, it becomes harder to plan inspections, locate defects, and prioritize rehabilitation needs cost-effectively.
Have you noticed persistent standing water after it rains, slow drainage, foul odors, or visible debris accumulating inside or around your system’s catch basins? These issues are often tell-tale signs that your stormwater structures need attention.
Have you noticed unexpected flow spikes after it rains, manholes overflowing, or capacity issues with your sewer or stormwater system?
Do you notice persistent odors, high-flow levels, or signs of structural wear in your sanitary sewer or stormwater system? These issues often indicate the need for a more thorough inspection of your system, particularly concerning large-diameter pipes. Traditional inspection methods can leave large portions of pipes unexamined, especially in high-flow or large-diameter scenarios. At Compliance EnviroSystems (CES), we use a smarter inspection technique to ensure systems are operating at full capacity: Sonar and Multi-Sensor Inspections.
Common challenges for municipalities, engineers, and utility providers are undetected leaks and inflows that overwhelm the sewer system. When you don’t know where Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) comes from or what is causing your system’s issues, you often end up spending more money than is necessary to fix it. At Compliance EnviroSystems (CES), we provide a smarter, quicker, and more cost-effective solution: Smoke Testing.
