Experimental and numerical investigation of interactions between above and below ground drainage systems
This paper presents the results of the experimental and numerical investigation of interactions between surface flood flow in urban areas and the flow in below ground drainage systems (sewer pipes and manholes). An experimental rig has been set up at the Water Engineering Laboratory at the University of Sheffield. It consists of a full scale gully structure with inlet grating, which connects ...

Common features of Videology pipe and sewer inspection cameras
Inspection cameras used in pipelines, plumbing systems and storm drains are designed to help professionals inspect and diagnose problems in pipes and sewer systems. A visual inspection is the key to identifying existing or potential problems in these hard-to-reach structures. Usually located under the ground, drains, sewers, manholes and other pipelines are confined spaces that a human eye cannot ...

Understanding the spatial formation and accumulation of fats, oils and grease deposits in the sewer collection system
Sanitary sewer overflows are caused by the accumulation of insoluble calcium salts of fatty acids, which are formed by the reaction between fats, oils and grease (FOG) and calcium found in wastewaters. Different sewer structural configurations (i.e., manholes, pipes, wet wells), which vary spatially, along with other obstructions (roots intrusion) and pipe deformations (pipe sags), may ...
