Clean & Inspect Sewer System  |  Job Date: October 2005

O'Brien & Gere Engineers

The Objective

O'Brien & Gere needed sewer lines and laterals inspected and cleaned at Green Haven Correctional Facility to determine the condition and identify any areas of concern (damage to pipe or build-up of debris). Approximately 25,000ft of 2in to 24in sewer pipe needs to be video taped and documented.

The Solution

Using the Vactor with 3000 PSI at 60-80 GPM the JIS crew jetted and vacuumed each sewer line in and around the facility. The JIS crew was then able to use its remotely operated pipe crawler to document the cleanliness of the pipe and locate any damage or discontinuities which included a footage counter to determine the length of a pipe.

The Results

  • The sewer lines were completed to the customers satisfaction.
  • Performance and reliability of the sewer system was improved.
  • Documentation with DVD's and written report were given to customer after objective was complete.

“Not only was your team very porfessional, they all have great personalities and it was a real pleasure working with them.”
