Regular inspections, maintenance, and repairs are vital for minimizing inflow and infiltration (I&I). Taking measures like annual flow monitoring, smoke testing and sealing defects can greatly enhance system performance.
Smoke testing entails introducing non-toxic smoke into the sewer system. The smoke will emerge through any defects, revealing areas where inflow and infiltration are taking place.
Manhole inspections are essential for evaluating the condition and functionality of manholes. They help identify structural issues, blockages, and sources of inflow and infiltration, ensuring the overall integrity of the sewer system.
Inflow and infiltration refer to unwanted water entering the sewer system from sources such as stormwater, groundwater, corss-connections and deteriorated pipes. This can overload the system, leading to overflows and increased treatment costs.
This post emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to infrastructure management, including monitoring, maintaining, and managing assets to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
