Wastewater Collection & Treatment

Protecting Critical Wastewater Infrastructure

Sewage conveyance and wastewater collection rank among the most important public health responsibilities in every community. Two common issues with this critical infrastructure are microbial induced corrosion and the infiltration/exfiltration of liquids. Left untreated, these environmental issues lead to rapid deterioration of sanitary systems and failures that are costly to repair and disruptive to everyday life.
