In many developed nations, the underground network of collection pipes was laid 50 to 100 years ago. Inflow and Infiltration: As pipes crack due to age or tree root intrusion, groundwater seeps in (infiltration) and stormwater flows in through illegal connections (inflow). ...
Project Location: Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh Product Used: Ocean HDPE Liner – 1000 Micron Quantity: 13,200 SQM Application: Slope Protection Introduction: Why Slope Protection Matters In areas with undulating terrain or significant elevation differences, slope protection plays a critical role in preventing soil erosion, landslides, and surface instability. These challenges are particularly ...
In Roeselare, a city in West Flanders, a water storage facility of 480 m³ was built to collect water for reuse. A smart guiding system allows the water to infiltrate the soil. This means the capacity of the storage facility is optimally used for reuse and retention during heavy rainfall. This system was realised in collaboration with Aquafin and the city of ...

After spending decades and millions of dollars rehabilitating sewer pipes across its service area, a large coastal utility embarked on a pilot pipe condition assessment program for 25,000 linear feet in areas prone to high unwanted infiltration rates. Electro Scan’s Focused Electrode Leak Location technology, or FELL, offers an innovative ...
Challenge In instances of clean water infiltration into sewer pipes, the source of the additional water can be tough to discern, especially in older systems that are large and susceptible to both stormwater and groundwater intrusion. This is the case in northeast Ohio, where a mix of residential and old commercial users bring in more than 5 million gallons a day ...
WRc were sharing a stand with Electro Scan, who have appointed WRc as their representatives for the UK. The Electro Scan system tests pipes for infiltration and lack of water tightness, a very important issue when considering the condition of a drainage system. ...

Groundwater infiltration through cracked sewer pipes has caused significant economic losses. This paper presents a three-dimensional analytical expression for calculating the steady-state groundwater infiltration rate into sewer systems. As an extension of the previously developed two-dimensional model by the author, this new model can be ...
Combined sewer systems combine runoff stormwater from precipitation events (rain, snow, etc.) with the sewage from homes and businesses into a single pipe that transports all of the waste to a treatment facility. Separated systems keep the stormwater runoff separate from the sewage generated by homes and buildings effectively having two different sewers: a storm sewer and a ...
Phase 1 of the project involved installation of a stormwater infiltration system and a large denitrification wall positioned to intercept flows from both groundwater and the infiltration ...
For the past six years, DCSD has worked diligently to create a more efficient system, reduce costs and eliminate backup events. Inflow & Infiltration Defined Inflow and infiltration are persistent problems that plague all sewer collection systems. ...
The study suggests that reducing directly piped drainage connection using infiltration and retention is a logical step in the mitigation of urban impacts upon receiving streams. ...
