The Butterfly Valve Mystery
CPM’s recent project with a water utility client captured amazing footage providing a simple explanation for the (considered) inconsistent data captured through the client’s modeling software.
Electromagnetic Bracelet Probe™ and UT Testing
CPM was contracted to perform a condition assessment inspection along two sections of 8-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) waste activated sludge lines located in Arizona.
Replacement and Repairs Exceed Budgets. Proactive Asset Management is the Solution.
Take a look at recent reports from AWWA, ASCE, or other well-respected organizations in the water/wastewater industry that are advised by some of the most knowledgeable people. The future is dire.
Ductile Iron Pressure Pipe Condition a Mystery, and Time to Inspect?
Acquaint’s Acquarius in-line inspection technology yields results and data in a single run that provide a valuable roadmap to create a proactive asset management program.
Considerations for Designing the Outer Diameter of FFRP Liners in Pipe Rehabilitation
In the field of pipe rehabilitation, Flexible Fabric Reinforced Pipe (FFRP) liners have emerged as a popular solution for restoring the structural integrity and hydraulic performance of aging pipelines. However, determining the appropriate outer diameter (OD) of the FFRP liner is a critical consideration that requires careful attention.
Non-Destructive Phased Pipe Condition Assessment
CPM was contracted to perform a phased pipe condition inspection utilizing INGU Pipers® free floating pre-screening inspection tools, Electromagnetic Bracelet Probe™ (BP) scanning, and ultrasonic thickness (UT) measurements on two wastewater force main pipelines.
Critical Water Reservoir CCTV Inspection

Save the Environment. Protect Your Budget.
Trenchless methods have been widely used for the rehabilitation of gravity pipelines for over 40 years. The advent of these technologies and methods has lowered the cost of extending the useful life of gravity pipelines through rehabilitation versus outright replacing them.
