Replace Lead Pipes Faster

October 1, 2022

I’m delighted to see Electro Scan Inc.‘s award-winning #SWORDFISH added to the Environmental Policy Innovation Center‘s (EPIC) recently published ‘Menu of Options: Data and Technology To Replace Lead Pipes Faster.’

Thank you Maureen Cunningham, Jessica Mahr, Gabriella Mabayyed (Gabby), and Marie Cailo for all your hard work at EPIC.

With more States no longer accepting Visual Inspection to inventory Lead Pipes, #SWORDFISH is a water utility’s only way to confirm non-lead and lead buried pipes, without digging up a customer’s yard.

#SWORDFISH
– EPA Referenced ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’
– Pressurized or Un-Pressurized Lines
– Basement Entry or Curb Side Entry
– All Pipe Materials
– Cloud-based Field Reporting (In Minutes)
– Patented and Patent-Pending

This is the industry’s only solution to assess buried lead pipe without digging!

The Deadline to Inventory Service Lines of October 16, 2024 for the nearly 50,000 Community Water Systems (CWS) is coming fast. And, most original estimates for #lead pipes are growing exponentially.

A California water utility called this week that has plastic pipe for nearly 90% of their water main network. They asked if they found any #lead pipe on the customer’s side if they had to inventory & replace it?

WOW!

YES. That is what the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (P.L. 117-58) will finance and contains a historic $15 billion in funding for Lead Service Line (LSL) identification and replacement.  Available through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).

DON’T WAIT.

Electrical Resistance Testing

September 30, 2022

Electro Scan Inc. looks forward to joining Michael Simpson, CEO M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., to share how utilities are adopting ‘ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TESTING’ for lead detection, as referenced in the EPA’s Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory, published 2022 (EPA 816-8-22-001.

Not in Los Angeles. Watch online or send me an email at chuck@electroscan.com for a copy of the slide stack and link to privately view the session.

World Water-Tech

September 29, 2022

I can’t wait to hear Mike App, EVP, Electro Scan Inc., cite recent field benchmarks showing acoustic sensors, data loggers, and correlates miss 80-100% of leaks, without the ability to correctly measure leak severities in Gallons per Minute or Liters per Second at DAY ONE World Water-Tech here in Los Angeles.

Can’t make it to Los Angeles? Contact World Water-Tech and get online access to the conference.

Not affected by customer usage, flow velocity, groundwater, pipe material, pressure, or repairs, Electro Scan Inc.‘s non-acoustic ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE INSPECTION technology is a game changer.

Who else can find leaks in pressurized or gravity pipes, not to mention locate LEAD Service lines?

Don’t want to get burned investing in old technology that can’t hear or see leaks or properly assess pipe wall thicknesses? Let us brief you.

World Water Tech

September 27, 2022

Electro Scan Inc. is delighted to be taking center stage to share the next generation in non-acoustic leak detection and trenchless lead detection next week at #WorldWaterTech North America.

Replacing #acoustic sensors, find out how Electro Scan’s electrical resistance testing is not affected by customer usage, flow velocities, noise, groundwater, internal pipe pressures, or pipe material (WE LOVE PLASTIC & HDPE PIPE). Why listen for leaks that can’t be heard, when you can have machine-intelligent probes measure the size of the hole and pipe wall thickness, not to mention know each leak’s Gallon per Minute (Liters per Second)!

I’ll be joined by +40 year veteran and water pioneer Michael Simpson, of M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., to introduce the first Trenchless technology to locate lead (Pb) pipe. Pressurized or unpressurized, 1/2″-3″ pipe diameters, and multiple bends, referred by the EPA’s Office of Water (4606M), EPA 816-B-22-001, August 2022 Guideline as ‘ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TESTING.’

And, don’t miss Mike App‘s panel on LEAKAGE: Predictive Technologies for Water Loss Prevention. With #acoustic sensors missing so many leaks and creating more false positive readings than positive leak locations, find out how non-acoustic Electro Scan is winning the day.

2022 UKSTT Detection, Location & Inspection Award

September 20, 2022

Congratulations to the entire Electro Scan Inc. team, especially Electro Scan (UK) Ltd. for winning the 2022 UKSTT Detection, Location & Inspection award for the 51km (32mi) Southern Water infiltration reduction project, working with our Framework Partner, CAPPAGH BROWNE UTILITIES LIMITED.

READ THE PRESS RELEASE
https://lnkd.in/g3DgjgMN

CCTV provides great visuals, but when you are looking for a comprehensive assessment of sources of infiltration and whether repairs are watertight, it no longer is a best practice.

A special shout out to Brad Weston, Chris Chesworth, Adam Clarke, Chris Fisher, and US-based Mike App, for this amazing award and worldwide recognition it brings.

I know many start-ups that recently brought AI to review CCTV footage will be disappointed, but fundamental drawbacks of camera-based #CCTV can’t be improved enough to provide the actionable data utilities need to address flood risks and certify that repairs were done correctly.

Environment + Energy’s 2022 Product of the Year

September 15, 2022

Don’t rely on desktop analytics or predictive models when you can know (for sure) whether a pipe is a lead service line. And, forget about relying on expensive ($2,000 per hour) hydro-excavation and potholing. Especially when Electro Scan Inc.‘s #SWORDFISH can identify and inventory lead services, in minutes.

Environment + Energy’s 2022 Product of the Year, order your SWORDFISH today.

Who knew the same technology – electric resistance testing – that finds & measure leaks missed by acoustic sensors and data loggers, also locates and verifies lead pipes?

American Water Works Association Infrastructure Conference

September 4, 2022

Join me next week in Portland, Oregon at American Water Works Association Infrastructure Conference, Sept 13 and in Los Angeles, California later this month at World Water-Tech, Sept 29 as I present Electro Scan Inc.‘s #SWORDFISH lead detection device.

Doing an inventory of your buried lead pipe is simple and straightforward using #SWORDFISH. The industry’s only solution that automatically locates lead service lines, entering either a Basement Meter or Curb Stop.

Desktop analytics and predictive models have zero accuracy on telling drinking water suppliers where to dig. And paying $2,000 an hour to hydro-excavate is expensive, disruptive, and messy.
