Multi-Sensor Inspection Comes to Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake City owns and maintains three major trunk lines that convey wastewater to their water reclamation facility. The three major trunk lines are the Orange Street trunk line, 1200 West trunk line, and the Beck Street trunk line. If any of these trunk lines should experience some loss of service for an unforeseen reason, the city could be facing serious environmental and public health consequences. Due to the criticality of this infrastructure, Salt Lake City has taken a proactive approach in maintaining their trunk lines. This proactive approach includes the condition assessment of each of the three trunk lines. Because of the criticality of these trunk lines to the sewer system, the city has also determined that each of these trunk lines must remain in service. Given the high cost of by-pass pumping, it was determined that their condition should be assessed using multi-sensor inspection (MSI) technologies.
