Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Envirosight WWETT booth in Indianapolis last month. We had a great time seeing our partners and customers and demonstrating our newest products.

Come see Envirosight at WWETT Booth 5224 Thursday through Saturday, February 21-23 in Indianapolis to test drive the latest technologies for sewer inspection.

A new year means new challenges; but, the new year also comes with new technology and workflows to meet those challenges. In order to keep up with the changing landscape of the wastewater industry, we identified a few trends to keep an eye on.

The need for skilled workers to repair and maintain America’s infrastructure will only increase as that infrastructure continues to age. In fact, the growing number of infrastructure projects is likely to add 300,000 jobs across the country. However, finding enough workers to fill these vacancies is proving to be difficult, especially as the number of retirees continues to exceed the number of new workers. This problem is most apparent in municipalities where 30% of employees are expected to retire within the next decade.

On Thursday, September 13, 2018, Envirosight hosted a Q&A Introduction to Cooperative Purchasing webinar. Steve Sebastian, channel development manager for Envirosight, explained the basics of cooperative purchasing and the benefits that it can bring to an organization. In his decades of capital equipment sales and sales channel support, Steve has guided many municipalities and government agencies through enrolling and making purchases with purchasing cooperatives. Check out this sampling of the topics he shared with attendees:

If your job is to maintain sewers, come see Envirosight at WWETT Booth 6214 this week and test drive the latest technologies for sewer inspection and rehab. The show runs Thursday through Saturday at the Indianapolis Convention Center.

Most successful business ideas spark when you least expect them. This couldn’t be more true in the case of Calgary Sewer Scope founders Jamie Hannaford, a full-time firefighter, and Nicholas Whittaker, a full-time realtor. In 2014, they were enjoying a family Thanksgiving dinner when they found themselves discussing with a guest the importance of residential sewer scope inspection prior to buying a house. By the end of the conversation, they conceived the idea for Calgary Sewer Scope and worked to bring the company to life over the course of the next eleven months. In September 2015, Calgary Sewer Scope began serving residential customers. Within two short years, the company expanded its service offerings to include municipal sewer inspections, cross bore inspections for utility companies, and pre- and post- acceptance inspections. Soon they will start offering point repair for sewers. They now have three full-time staff members and work with multiple subcontractors to fulfill the needs of their business.

Thanks for Visiting Us at WWETT 2016.
