Founded in 1995, Compliance EnviroSystems, LLC (CES) focused exclusively on traditional mainline inspections and off-road specialty work. Its team became wellknown for their ability to identify existing issues and prevent future crises in the sewer systems they assessed. In 2015, the company added a new service locating cross bores for natural gas companies. Its first project was with a major contracting partner managing a heavy workload across Louisiana and Texas. The project required a complete inspection of both sewer and lateral lines to ensure the areas were free of dangerous gas line cross bores.
Primary sources of inflow and infiltration (I&I) include leaky manholes, lateral connections and sewer mains–yet too often rehabilitation efforts target assets indiscriminately. And while I&I can account for up to 45% of the throughput at a treatment plant, an analysis-driven strategy to address I&I is seldom discussed. If municipalities identify I&I problem areas, they can address the defects found in a comprehensive manner—adding to their success rate. By implementing a total system approach of inspecting for sources of I&I and then planning rehabilitation efforts accordingly, municipalities can achieve approximately a 50% reduction of I&I.
A&H is pleased to announce it will be moving from Bridgeville, to Zelienople, PA. The move date has a goal of mid-November. More information will follow in the coming weeks including mail forwarding information and phone numbers.
Infiltration occurs when groundwater seeps into sewer pipes through cracks, leaky pipe
joints and/or deteriorated manholes. Inflow is stormwater that enters the sewer system
through rain leaders, basement sump pumps or foundation drains illegally connected to
the sewer. The impact on treatment and maintenance costs is substantial, and many
wastewater crews prioritize identifying and mitigating sources of inflow and infiltration
(I&I) in their systems.
