World Water Tech

Electro Scan Inc. is delighted to be taking center stage to share the next generation in non-acoustic leak detection and trenchless lead detection next week at #WorldWaterTech North America.

Replacing #acoustic sensors, find out how Electro Scan’s electrical resistance testing is not affected by customer usage, flow velocities, noise, groundwater, internal pipe pressures, or pipe material (WE LOVE PLASTIC & HDPE PIPE). Why listen for leaks that can’t be heard, when you can have machine-intelligent probes measure the size of the hole and pipe wall thickness, not to mention know each leak’s Gallon per Minute (Liters per Second)!

I’ll be joined by +40 year veteran and water pioneer Michael Simpson, of M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., to introduce the first Trenchless technology to locate lead (Pb) pipe. Pressurized or unpressurized, 1/2″-3″ pipe diameters, and multiple bends, referred by the EPA’s Office of Water (4606M), EPA 816-B-22-001, August 2022 Guideline as ‘ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TESTING.’

And, don’t miss Mike App‘s panel on LEAKAGE: Predictive Technologies for Water Loss Prevention. With #acoustic sensors missing so many leaks and creating more false positive readings than positive leak locations, find out how non-acoustic Electro Scan is winning the day.

2022 UKSTT Detection, Location & Inspection Award

Congratulations to the entire Electro Scan Inc. team, especially Electro Scan (UK) Ltd. for winning the 2022 UKSTT Detection, Location & Inspection award for the 51km (32mi) Southern Water infiltration reduction project, working with our Framework Partner, CAPPAGH BROWNE UTILITIES LIMITED.

CCTV provides great visuals, but when you are looking for a comprehensive assessment of sources of infiltration and whether repairs are watertight, it no longer is a best practice.

A special shout out to Brad WestonChris ChesworthAdam ClarkeChris Fisher, and US-based Mike App, for this amazing award and worldwide recognition it brings.

I know many start-ups that recently brought AI to review CCTV footage will be disappointed, but fundamental drawbacks of camera-based #CCTV can’t be improved enough to provide the actionable data utilities need to address flood risks and certify that repairs were done correctly.

Environment + Energy’s 2022 Product of the Year

Don’t rely on desktop analytics or predictive models when you can know (for sure) whether a pipe is a lead service line. And, forget about relying on expensive ($2,000 per hour) hydro-excavation and potholing. Especially when Electro Scan Inc.‘s #SWORDFISH can identify and inventory lead services, in minutes.

Environment + Energy’s 2022 Product of the Year, order your SWORDFISH today.

Who knew the same technology – electric resistance testing – that finds & measure leaks missed by acoustic sensors and data loggers, also locates and verifies lead pipes?

American Water Works Association Infrastructure Conference

Join me next week in Portland, Oregon at American Water Works Association Infrastructure Conference, Sept 13 and in Los Angeles, California later this month at World Water-Tech, Sept 29 as I present Electro Scan Inc.‘s #SWORDFISH lead detection device.

Doing an inventory of your buried lead pipe is simple and straightforward using #SWORDFISH. The industry’s only solution that automatically locates lead service lines, entering either a Basement Meter or Curb Stop.

Desktop analytics and predictive models have zero accuracy on telling drinking water suppliers where to dig. And paying $2,000 an hour to hydro-excavate is expensive, disruptive, and messy.

Inventory Lead Service Lines

You can’t get any more simple than using SWORDFISH to inventory your Lead Services Lines.

– No Disruption to Customers (Enter from Basement or Curb).
– No Risk of Predicting the Wrong Pipe.
– No Digging Up the Wrong Pipe Based on Outdated GIS Maps.
– No Questioning by Homeowners If They Have Lead Pipes.
– No False-Positive or False-Negatives from CCTV Cameras.
– No Restoration Costs to Repair or Replace Lawns or Shrubs.
– No Hydro-Excavation or Potholing Costs.

Using ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’ as referenced in the EPA’s latest guidelines.

Swordfish Lead Detection

WOW. Congratulations to TEAM Electro Scan Inc. for this amazing honor, and the only IoT supplier to be represented in the water industry. Replacing legacy acoustic sensors and visual inspections with Electro Scan’s pressurized and unpressurized leak detection tools is happening, worldwide.

More awards coming for Electro Scan’s SWORDFISH LEAD DETECTION device. Cities are calling after spending big bucks on desktop analytics and predictive models that couldn’t provide accurate identification of lead, copper, galvanized or plastic pipe.

Still using CCTV or AI-CCTV?

Are you still using CCTV (or AI-CCTV) to locate & quantify your infiltration? Accept repairs as leak-free? Certify #CIPP liners as watertight? Time to put away the TV cameras and adopt machine-intelligent technology to automatically locate and quantify all leaks.

Congratulations to Christopher Jones and John Appenzeller of Hillsborough County, Florida, on the County’s new purchase.

The comparison of CCTV (using NASSCO, Inc. Standards) and Electro Scan Inc. were stunning. No wonder cities experience recurring flooding and sewer overflows after selecting repairs and acceptance based on visual inspections, like CCTV.

First Machine-Intelligent Solutions Automatically Assess Leaks and Pipe Wall Condition

Want to stop this from happening in your city? Stop using old technology, like CCTV cameras or Acoustic sensors that neither can ‘see’ leaks or ‘hear’ where pipe walls are permeable. Electro Scan Inc.‘s FOCUSED ELECTRODE LEAK LOCATION #fell is the industry’s first machine-intelligent solutions that automatically assesses leaks and pipe wall condition in both gravity and pressurized sewers to provide unambiguous and unbiased results.

And, make sure you do not use Acoustic sensors or CCTV cameras to approve repairs, rehabilitation, and relining #CIPP projects. They can’t. Even worse, we are seeing some relined sewers leaking worse AFTER rehabilitation than BEFORE due to poorly reconnected sewer taps that are temporarily covered during the lining of a sewer. WOW!

Stay tuned for our results from Polk County’s Force Main Inspection Project. Data intelligence that acoustic balls or visual cameras (or AI) can never deliver for actionable results. Machine Intelligence (MI) is the answer.

EPA recognizes ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’ to locate and inventory lead service lines.

It’s official. The EPA now recognizes ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’ to locate and inventory lead service lines. Electro Scan Inc. is pleased to announce that the August 4, 2022, USEPA Guidance to Help Communities Locate Lead Pipes that can Contaminate Drinking Water features ‘electrical resistance testing’ to locate and inventory lead pipes.

Identified as an emerging method, ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’ is an alternative to CCTV Cameras, Desktop Analytics, Hydro Excavating, Predictive Models, and Potholing for unambiguous and unbiased testing results.
