Technical scope for utilities and WWTPs

Sanitary sewer bypass
Gravity and force main bypass during repairs, tie-ins, lift station work, or WWTP unit outages. Our in-house team handles engineering review, temporary conveyance routing, suction/discharge placement, start-up, and 24/7 operations. Source: Repair & Replacement.
Stormwater and flood pumping
Rapid deployment for culvert/pipe rehab, high-intensity rain events, and tidal impacts. Source: Emergency Response.
Integrated inspection and cleaning
Certified operators using vactor equipment and high-resolution CCTV for pre-bypass condition assessment and post-activity verification. Source: Inspection.
Follow-on rehabilitation and replacement
Trenchless rehab options—CIPP, geopolymer lining, sliplining, and pipe bursting—executed in-house to minimize outage duration and community disruption. Source: Services and Pipe Rehabilitation.

Safety, risk control, and compliance

EMR under 0.87 and a full-time Safety Manager who is an OSHA Certified Instructor underpin our field operations and confined space practices. Source: About.
By maintaining flow continuity during asset outages, bypass plans are structured to prevent SSOs and protect downstream treatment processes.
Electrical integration, generator deployment, and continuous monitoring further reduce operational risk. Sources: Repair & Replacement and Emergency Response.
