Electro Scan Awarded 20,000LF Contract to Conduct Scanning Services for Stafford County, Virginia
Stafford County, Virginia's Major Sewer Basins.
As Subcontractor to O'Brien & Gere Engineers, FELL Data Will Allow The County to Proceed With Design & Construction to Target & Eliminate Infiltration
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, USA, February 25, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Electro Scan Inc. announced today that is has been awarded a 20,000 linear foot (LF) project by the Stafford County, Virginia, Department of Public Works, working with O'Brien and Gere Engineers, Inc. (OBG). Electro Scan's in-house team will complete all scanning services, including traffic control, field services, and reporting.
Information collected and submitted to O'Brien and Gere will be used to recommend rehabilitation to reduce infiltration and allow the County to proceed with design and construction activities.
All field work will be completed in accordance with ASTM F2550-13 (2018), 'Standard Practice for Locating Leaks in Sewer Pipes By Measuring the Variation of Electric Current Flow Through the Pipe Wall.'
"We are delighted to provide the industry's most accurate and sophisticated field condition assessment data, locating and measuring sources of infiltration, typically missed by traditional visual inspection using high resolution Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras," stated Mike App, Vice President, Eastern Region, Electro Scan Inc.
In 2018, Electro Scan working with its exclusive representative ClearWater, Inc., arranged a field demonstration of the Electro Scan Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL) technology.
"They scanned three pipes known to have high levels of infiltration, but our CCTV inspections showed no defects and that each pipe was OK," stated Gary McCollum, Utilities Capital Program Manager, Stafford County, VA. "What was more impressive, was that a rehabilitated service connection with a T-liner scanned completely flat, showing no leaks. Conversely, every joint showed leaks and aged AC pipe that showed leaks. And, no leaks were shown where pipe lining was in place."
Electro scanning work for this project will concentrate on watersheds in Aquia Harbour and include Asbestos Cement (AC), Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes.

In January 2019, OBG joined forces with Ramboll, Northern Europe’s leading engineering, design, and consultancy company with more than 15,000 people globally.
