Sanitary Sewer Metering for Efficient Infrastructure

Sanitary sewer systems are a vital component of urban infrastructure, and their failure can lead to significant disruptions and damage. To prevent such issues, sanitary sewer metering plays a crucial role by providing essential data that aids in both immediate decision-making and long-term planning. This process involves identifying bottlenecks, isolating inflow and infiltration (I&I) sources, and calibrating existing land use-based flow models.

The first step in this process is to understand the specific needs of the clients. This involves reviewing sanitary sewer network maps and as-built drawings to identify key locations and confirm the logistics for metering. Once the planning phase is complete, the assigned meters are installed at strategic points within the sewer network. Throughout the study, the equipment is closely monitored to ensure accurate data collection. The data collected is then analyzed for various applications, providing valuable insights into the sewer system’s performance.

By leveraging accurate data, municipalities and utility companies can enhance the reliability and efficiency of their sewer systems, ultimately benefiting the communities they serve.
