For municipal sewer cleaning, API utilizes three combination machines (high pressure jetting unit with vacuum capabilities) and a truck mounted high pressure jetting unit. Two of the combination machines are equipped with high volume - high pressure jetting units capable of producing pressures up to 2000 PSI @ 125 gallons per minute. One combination machine and the high pressure jetting truck produce 2,000 PSI at 80 GPM.
Each sewer cleaning unit is equipped with specialized nozzles to get maximum cleaning performance from each unit. Heavy, bottom riding nozzles are used to direct all water towards the bottom of the pipe. Nozzles with forward firing jets are used to open clogged sewer lines. Rotating or spinning nozzles are used to remove heavy root growths or soap-grease deposits from sewer lines. Special nozzles increase work productivity all high pressure jetting units.
Pipe cleaning is essential for trouble-free wastewater collection systems. Clean pipes are required for CCTV inspection surveys. Inspections should never be performed to determine if sewer pipes need to be cleaned, inspections should be performed to determine the internal structural condition of sewers. Pre-cleaning pipes removes dirt, debris, roots, soap and grease that can hide structural defects from the camera.
Working in conjunction with Advanced Pipe Inspection’s CCTV units, municipalities receive recorded video inspection DVD’s accompanied with detailed reports of cleaned sewer pipe lines. In addition to paper reports, report information is provided in database format to be uploaded to any computer system.
Advanced Pipe Inspection equipment is available for emergency service and day work.
