Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority implemented acoustic inspection technology in 2017. By screening 100% of their small diameter gravity sewers before cleaning, LRWRA was able to focus cleaning resources and reduce SSOs, while using less time to clean more debris.
Lindsey Donbavand, CDM Smith and Dan Murphy, CDM Smith provide an approach and their results from a study illustrating the benefit of using acoustic inspection based https://www.buypropeciaonline.org on the SL-RAT technology for prioritizing wastewater cleaning operations in West Haven, CT. Their full presentation can be viewed at https://www.newea.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DMurphy_NEWEA_AC16_Session30.pdf. They presented their work at the NEWEA 2016 Annual Conference & Exhibit in Boston this past January.
Thanks for attending the 2014 SESTT Trenchless Technology Seminar!
We presented “Using Acoustic Inspection to Prioritize Sewer Cleaning” presented on March 26, 2014.
InfoSense’s Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT) is a patented acoustic inspection device used to make blockage assessments of sanitary sewer lines in 3 minutes or less. Our technology was developed in North Carolina with UNC-Charlotte and Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities, and has been used to inspect millions of feet of pipe. This revolutionary device was awarded the 2012 WEF Innovative Technology Award for its impact on the industry. One of our more recent customers is August, GA.
