Hello. My name is Chuck Hansen and I want to ‘welcome you’ to Electro Scan Inc.
You may remember me from my software company that shared my last name. After selling the company, I promised myself I wouldn’t return unless I found something that could forever change the way we collect & analyze data — and have fun doing it!
That something is Electro Scan – the next generation in sewer leak detection.
As a shareholder of both Apple and Facebook, not to mention being a life-long geek, I’ve kept abreast of the latest developments in the computer industry. Learning how electro scan technology is 3 to 5 times better than CCTV, combined with my passion for bringing new products to market, sets the stage for a new breakthrough company that will turn the sewer industry inside out.
I apologize, in advance, for the disruption that Electro Scan will likely cause. Adopting new standards, learning new assessment techniques, and moving away from old ways of doing things, is always difficult. But, we’ve worked hard to prepare a seamless roadmap to help you with the transition.
Make sure you download a copy of the U.S. EPA Field Demonstration Benchmark Report that compares electro scan technology with CCTV – see below for a sneak peek. The results are impressive and are confirmed by numerous demonstration projects, sewer evaluations , and studies by independent engineering firms. That’s why I say, ”You may never buy another CCTV camera, again.”
Nobody will like hearing that, but when it comes to identifying sources of I&I, CCTV inspections are no longer the best way to identify and prioritize your critical pipes. I realize what this means for the volumes of data you have collected over the years. As a result, I’ve created a brand new cloud computing solution, Critical Sewers™, to help bridge your information gaps.
I’m excited to unveil our new products, including our ES-38™ for Sewer Laterals, ES-660™ for Sewer Mains, Smartphone app, and Critical Sewers™ cloud computing app. Designed and manufactured in compliance with the ASTM F2550-06 Standard, our products represent a new framework for sewer evaluation, including an integrated smartphone to cloud computing solution that revolutionizes how you collect data and how you prioritize repair & rehabilitation projects.
In addition to making our products a key part of your sewer assessment program, you will also want to specify Electro Scan as part of your next Relining RFP or RFQ to ensure that your project is delivered leak-free. Visual observation is simply incapable of determining whether relining successfully eliminated your I&I problem. Find out BEFORE your contractor leaves the job site so, if necessary, they can fix it. Given all my years in the sewer business, I can say with confidence that Electro Scan is the only product capable of certifying that a rehabilitation project has successfully delivered.
Amidst new legislation regulating private sewer laterals and the threat of consent decrees, Electro Scan Inc. is the right company, offering the right products, at the right time.
I hope to see you at an upcoming tradeshow or talk with you on a company-sponsored webinar. I might even drop by and leave one of my Electro Scan Inc. business cards, if I’m in the area. Also, consider dropping by the next time you are in Sacramento (California), where you’ll always find a cold beer or two in the refrigerator. Electro Scan Inc. is proud to have the same address we started our original software company in 1983 – 1745 Markston Road, Sacramento, California 95825-4026.
Finally, make sure you subscribe to our email list, follow-us on Twitter or ‘Like’ us on Facebook. All great ways to stay on top of company news, industry developments, and new Electro Scan users in your area.
All the best!
Chuck
