| The Project -
The Garner Sewer-Hog & Grit-Gator Demonstration Project for the City of Phoenix Waste Water Collections Division involved a Sewer cleaning of 39" pipe at 15th Ave. & Maricopa Freeway. The solution offered was the relief of a Surcharge Condition for Evaluation and Camera Inspection.
Garner-West Profile -
Garner-West Environmental provides a very fast and very efficient method of sewer cleaning with pipe diameter of 24" and larger. The system can also be used for lagoons/ponds, grit chambers, siphons and wet-wells. The process uses a positive pressure pump and high-flow jetter that drives material to a decanting box. The system is closed-looped, requires no bypass pumping, is non-odor emitting and is very safe. All decanted water is returned to the system. The decanted material is very dry. The system is not like a traditional combination truck used for sewer cleaning.
Specifications -
350 GPM Jetter
6" positive pressure hydraulic pump
600 hp diesel power pack
30 cubic yard decanting box
2000' reach
All work performed during live flow-through existing standard manhole
Integrated system
Situation -
A 39' Sewer pipe at the low-end of the waste-water system in Phoenix, AZ needed to be evaluated and inspected with CCTV. The previous method of cleaning did not adequately clean the pipe to allow a camera to pass through.
Concerns -
Time and effort: Traditional "vac-truck" methods for cleaning the area were not producing desired results in a timely manner.
Solution -
Bring in the Garner Environmental Sewer-Hog and Grit-Gator System for cleaning Large Diameter Sewer Pipe.
Benefits -
It is a fast and efficient cleaning process producing the desired results.
The Results -
1350' of 39" Sewer pipe cleaned to allow passage of camera for inspection and alleviate surcharged conditions.
Removed 40 yards/108,000 lbs of debris .
4.5 days of work at 10 hours per day.
