Innovative Water‐Jetting System Cleans California Sewer
This article discusses a sewer‐cleaning project recently completed by the Oakland, California, Public Works Agency (OPWA) and the Oakland‐based consulting firm V&A Consulting Engineers Inc. that used a new high‐power water‐jetting system to remove sediment deposits 3 ft. deep. The engineering firm coordinated the removal of the sediment from a 66‐in. sewer pipe beneath Oakland's 20th Street without interrupting service and without the noisy machinery, exposed sewage piping, and odor that typically accompany such jobs. Sewer Hog?, designed by Texas‐based Garner West, uses a 350‐gpm water jet at 2,000 psi, driven by a 600hp engine to dislodge obstructions. Also used was the Grit Gator dewatering box.
