Sewer-Hog & Grit-Gator Demonstration

City of Phoenix - March 21, 2006 

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.
