Following publication of the Environment Agency’s stringent new requirements for reporting on sewer overflows, water companies are under urgent pressure to quantify, report, and mitigate events caused by groundwater infiltration. Metasphere, a Grundfos company, emphasizes that high-quality data is central to both compliance and long-term resilience.Inflow and infiltration (I&I) ...
In many organizations, inspections are done seriously. Teams take the time to document, fill out reports, take photos, and write observations. At the moment they are performed, inspections do their job. They answer a very specific question: what is the condition of this asset today? But a few months later, that same inspection often loses its value. Six months go by—sometimes less—and ...
A successful sewer inspection starts well before the sewer camera is inserted into the network. ...
Underground infrastructure—such as sewer networks, stormwater lines, and service chambers—requires regular maintenance to prevent costly failures. ...
Field teams responsible for infrastructure inspections are facing increasingly diverse environments: pipelines, electrical vaults, crawl spaces, and other confined spaces. Historically, each type of infrastructure required a specific tool, leading to a proliferation of equipment, training requirements, and operational constraints. Today, this approach is showing its limits. Organizations are now ...
Innovation in design and optimization can help municipalities and water districts as they face the future Municipal wastewater treatment is facing challenges: Populations are growing, environmental regulations are tightening, energy costs continue to climb, and the call for improvements is never-ending. At the same time, climate goals are pushing utilities to rethink how they design and operate ...
New drainage master plan for Munich's sewer network Measurement campaign creates high-quality database for precipitation, discharge and pollution load Munich's municipal drainage system (MSE) is currently developing a new drainage master plan (GEP) to optimise water protection and drainage comfort. For this purpose, a hydrodynamic sewer ...
Stadtbetrieb Bornheim AöR relies on standardized system from NIVUS Initial Situation and Task The Bornheim municipal utility is responsible for more than 200 km of branched sewer network as well as drinking water and waste water connections for almost 50,000 inhabitants on an area of around 83 square kilometres. Due to the discontinuation of analogue ...
Flooding, unpredictable wastewater loads, and overflow risks have long been challenges for urban drainage networks. In recent years, Požega has experienced several significant storms and flooding events, primarily due to intense rainfall and inadequate drainage capacity. Flash floods have occasionally overwhelmed the town’s wastewater system, leading to operational challenges and ...
When it comes to sealing, testing, and bypassing flow in pipelines, contractors across the Gulf region turn to PlugCo, a globally trusted manufacturer and supplier of inflatable pipe plugs, test plugs, and pipeline testing equipment. With a proven track record across the Middle East, PlugCo has established itself as a top-tier supplier for infrastructure, water, and sewer projects in the UAE, ...
United Utilities provides water and wastewater services to the north-west of England from Crewe to Carlisle, with the catchment area including reservoirs in both the Lake District and the Pennines, serving around 7.3 million people and managing more than 56,000 hectares of land, protecting water quality and maintaining the natural environment. As with the majority of firms, however, United ...
Centralized treatment involves collecting wastewater from a large area through a network of sewers and transporting it to a single, large, centrally located plant. ...
The radar addressed the city’s challenges and offers the following advantages for manhole applications: Non-Contact, Top-Level Mounting The non-contact radar is securely mounted to the wall at the top of the manhole and emits radar pulses through the air to measure the water level at the bottom of the manhole This design makes for simple installation and allows for water level measurement ...
Tanks and Digesters: Monitoring liquid or sludge levels in tanks to ensure optimal treatment Sewer Networks: Monitoring water level in sewer systems to prevent overflow events Pump Stations: Monitoring water level to control lift pump operation for efficient transfer Channels and Weirs: Monitoring open channel water level for accurate flow rate ...
Isle unravels’ the intricacies of storm overflows, exploring their impact on water quality, public health, and environmental integrity. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing the industry, from overloaded sewers to the urgent need for nature-based sustainable solutions. ...
