An Innovative Method for Cleaning Large Bore Sewer
In the years to come and even now, the EPA is and will be mandating the cleaning of large diameter sewers across the United States. These sewers have primarily been constructed along creeks, rivers and wetlands. Access to these sewer lines by means of conventional cleaning methods is becoming more difficult due to wetland restrictions and costs involved in building roads into these areas where permitted. In 1998, Montgomery Watson had approximately 15,000 linear feet of large diameter pipe in Fulton County, Georgia along the Chattahoochee River in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Montgomery Watson had long suspected that there were severe I&I problems in this stretch of pipe. So, NT&C was contacted by Montgomery Watson and asked to take on the project using our patent-pending Jigawon Cleaning method. This method of cleaning utilizes a flow restricting device that used the existing sewer flow to create turbulence within the pipe, causing the material to be put into suspension and moved downstream where it is removed and taken to the appointed debris disposal site. Using this method, we were able to clean the system with access to only several manholes throughout the system.
