Sacramento, California (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

Electro Scan Inc., a worldwide leader of pipeline defect detection instrumentation, smartphone, and cloud computing applications, these days announced an agreement with Prism Contractors &amp Engineers, Inc. (Yorktown, Virginia) to conduct a 20,000 ft. Electro Scan project in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

A essential objective for the project will be to Electro Scan all sewer mains in a designated area of a regional sewer authority and supply particular places for each and every defect and pipe segment, such as an estimated peak infiltration rate in Gallons per Minute (GPM).

&#13

Sewer authorities in Hampton Roads are at present operating under a USEPA Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) and a State of Virginia Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Particular Consent By Order to minimize the frequency and severity of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) taking certain actions to create a Regional Wet Climate Management Plan (RWWMP).

Everyone knows that CCTV is a wonderful tool to record alignment issues, grease, and other obstructions in sewer pipes throughout low-flow and dry climate circumstances, states Chuck Hansen, Electro Scans CEO. But, hardly ever, if ever, can CCTV operators measure or even see leaks, especially at joints, service connections, and in laterals. Because CCTV is normally in no way accomplished in the course of rainy situations when an operator would most probably see a leak and cannot be used when a pipe is complete, it hasn’t been an successful tool in finding infiltration. But, CCTV has been the only thing offered… that is, till Electro Scan.

Electro Scan represents a breakthrough in sewer situation assessment, states Chuck Hansen, former CEO of Hansen Information Technologies and an business pioneer in CCTV and condition assessment technologies. Electro Scans capacity to work in dry &amp wet climate conditions and when a pipe is partially or complete of water, represents a new era in condition assessment. Accessible as an add-on to any current CCTV truck, data is uploaded to our cloud-based Vital SewersTM application. In a position to effortlessly switchover in the field, Electro Scan &amp CCTV represent a total solution for sewer authorities, regulators, and engineers to aid prevent sewer overflows, backups, and basement flooding.
