Municipal Sewer Cleaning: Train For Gain
By Del Williams
Expert training, onsite demonstration, and in the field resolution of the toughest challenges helps operators and contractors become significantly more productive.
For municipalities and contractors with heavy workloads cleaning sewer, storm and sanitary lines, the fastest route to getting the work done on-time and on-budget is often learning best practice techniques and equipment options, demonstrating them onsite, and then resolving specific problem areas in the field with expert guidance.
“Traditionally, sewer cleaning techniques are passed down on the job from person to person, but seldom systematically taught. In our case, we always instructed that you go up toward the manhole and then start cleaning as you return. That is a misconception in the industry – one we lived with until we got expert training,” says Marty Tew, a Fayetteville PWC Water Resources Construction Field Supervisor.
