Inflow and infiltration have been a problem in the industry for several decades. And while the problem hasn’t change, technology has. New materials have been explored, innovative technologies have been leveraged, and new products have been developed that approach I&I with today’s challenges in mind. These new, proven products, coupled with a solid approach to handling I&I, can put public works departments, municipalities, and utilities in a stronger position to stop I&I for good.
A New Approach To Solving Inflow & Infiltration
Consider this approach to solving your inflow and infiltration problems:
- Develop an annual plan to inspect and test pipes and manholes for signs of I&I
- Stay up to date on innovations in the industry, and how others have solved I&I issues
- Execute a full cost analysis when planning to purchase a product
- Include labor costs, the lifespan of the product, the impacts on wastewater treatment plants, potential injury implications, potential future replacement costs, and the potential for rebuilding roads around curb inlets and manholes
- Look at products that are effective, are safer for employees to install and reduce the amount of time spent on the job site
- Save money by purchasing a product with demonstrated results, and a strong warranty
- Look for a reason to consider, and say yes, to new products and solutions
The outcomes of approaching I&I in this way include saving money, reducing time spent on the jobsite and increasing employee satisfaction while reducing injury. Additionally, you’ll become part of a growing family of collection system professionals who look out for the interests of their employees and the community they are a part of.
