Water Quality Sampling Station

A dedicated sampling station is a crucial and highly specialized equipment that allows water operators to collect water samples directly from our water distribution system. Overall, dedicated sampling stations are an essential component of any water quality management program, providing critical data and insights that help ensure the safety and reliability of our water supply.

Typical Water Main Replacement Workflow

Concept

To determine which mains require replacement, we consider multiple factors including the age of the infrastructure and the history of leaks. By analyzing these factors, we can make informed decisions about which mains should be prioritized for replacement to ensure the reliability and safety of the water supply system.

Design

Once we have identified the need for a replacement, we will begin drafting detailed plans for the project. Our team will carefully review and refine these plans to ensure they are comprehensive and effective. In addition to our efforts, we will coordinate with other utilities, as well as the relevant local government authorities, such as the city or county, to ensure a smooth and efficient replacement process.

Construction

The mobilization process involves the deployment of skilled team members and necessary equipment to the designated work location. This step includes excavation activities such as digging, trenching and grading as required for the project. In addition, it may also involve the temporary closure of some sections of the roadway to ensure the safety of the workers and the public.

Testing

Once the installation of the new main is complete, it is not only essential but required to conduct health and pressure tests to ensure the system’s proper functioning. During the testing process, it is crucial to check for any possible leaks due to the installation process. We carefully examine the entire system, including valves, joints, and connections, to identify any leaks or malfunctions.

Street Restoration

After the installation of the new water main, the work crews will perform a thorough cleaning of the construction site, removing any debris or materials left behind. Once the area is cleared, the crew will proceed to repave the street, ensuring that the road is level and smooth for drivers. The result will be a fully functional and visually appealing roadway for the community to enjoy.
