SmartClean - Cleaning Optimization Program App for Sewer Systems - Brochure

The usual prescription for sewer systems plagued by a history of progressive, relatively fast-occurring build-ups and blockages is to create a rigorous program of cleaning to avoid sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). This process, termed high frequency cleaning (HFC), requires continuous application of human resources and equipment to stay `ahead of the system.` While HFC can be successful at lowering instances of SSOs, HFC has substantial and continuous operational costs. HFC also promotes over-cleaning, pipeline deterioration and shortening the lifetime of expensive underground assets. In spite of this, spills still occur between cleanings because there is no real-time visibility of sewer conditions.
