SEALING SOLUTIONS
ELIMINATING PIPE FLOOR
CLEANING HANG-UPS
Innovation improves stormwater and
sewer line cleaning efficiency
BY DEL WILLIAMS
W
ith increasing federal
mandates on stormwater
system monitoring and
maintenance, municipal departments
encounter significant budget and
workforce challenges. In this context,
the utilization of floor cleaner devices
becomes imperative. These devices
are crucial for eliminating sand, mud,
sludge, and heavy debris from storm
lines, sanitary lines, and culverts by
directing powerful streams of water to
clean pipelines effectively.
MEETING
TODAY'S CHALLENGES
The challenge becomes more
demanding in large-diameter
stormwater pipes as they face issues
with the accumulation of oversized
debris like bricks, concrete chunks,
wood pieces, corrugated metal,
and the occasional manhole cover.
Furthermore, offset joints resulting
from pipe dislocations may act as
barriers hindering the floor cleaner's
advancement. These obstructions
can hamper effective floor cleaning,
obstruct the device's path, and
potentially lead to its overturning-
necessitating labor-intensive manual
intervention and retrieval by the
maintenance team.
" As stormwater flows through the
lines, sand, sediment, and debris
settles, builds up, and then must
be cleaned out using powerful,
high-pressure water. Municipalities
and contractors often rely on floor
cleaners, also called bottom nozzles,
Municipalities and contractors
conduct periodic maintenance
to flush debris and sediment
from the lines, breaking up
hardened obstructions to
prevent blockages.
