Sewer cleaning removes unwanted materials, such as non-biodegradable debris or grease and sludge build-up, from a pipe. Most sewer cleanings occur as part of a routine maintenance program, though cleaners also respond to emergency callouts for overflowing or damaged lines.

With the Jetscan HD video nozzle, your cleaning crew can capture footage of pipe condition and stream it wirelessly to any tablet device. Simply thread Jetscan onto your jetter hose to record footage that helps

• Document the effectiveness of sewer cleaning
• Find offsets, collapses, infiltration and other problems without a CCTV crew
• Identify cross bores, collapses, protruding taps, root balls and other operational risks
• Check for gravel, grease, roots or sludge, then pick the best nozzle for the job

Envirosight’s Jetscan, a video nozzle that can attach to any jetter hose and record HD video footage as sewer pipes are cleaned, received awards in both the New Technology/Industry and Wastewater product categories. It also earned the highest score of all entries in the competition, which recognizes innovative organizations and products that actively work to make the jobs of environmental professionals easier. Eligible products must have been introduced to the market within the past calendar year.

Being properly equipped makes sewer inspection more effective. Jim Legg, the Wastewater Operations Supervisor for the Uxbridge, MA Department of Public Works, knows this better than most. “When we got our ROVVER X in 2011, it was our first crawler system,” says Legg. “Before that we were using an old push camera that could only go 70 or 80 feet down a line. There was a lot that we just couldn’t do.” When Uxbridge decided to purchase their first crawler, they looked to their longtime dealer Brian Kennedy of JF McDermott. “We bought from him before and trusted what he had to say,” says Legg. The crew purchased a ROVVER X system installed into an Outpost transport enclosure. This gave them the portability to use the crawler how and where they needed, whether down narrow city streets or on easements. Since then, the crew has purchased a Jetscan video nozzle, a Verisight push camera and a Quickview airHD zoom camera.

Addressing Water Scarcity without Sacrificing Sewer Maintenance

According to research, up to 35% of sewer lines are jetted unnecessarily as part of regularly scheduled cleaning and maintenance. Most cleaning crews have no way to determine in advance whether a pipe actually needs cleaning. And even when cleaning is warranted, choosing the right nozzle is seldom more than a guessing game. 

The City of Denton, Texas saved over $180,000 when it introduced JetScan to its sewer assessment workflow. A recent presentation about its efforts to meet CMOM goals and enhance operations staff’s participation describes why the City chose to add JetScan to its sewer assessment mix, and the outcomes it reaped from the decision. The presentation also mentions the use of ROVVER to help with the City’s pipeline rehabilitation.

Whether deciding what tool to use, verifying proper cleaning, or determining whether additional inspection is needed—JetScan is the quick, easy way to see what you’re jetting. This video nozzle is affordable enough to put on every cleaning truck, yet quickly captures valuable HD footage of pipe that can be viewed moments later on a PC or tablet. JetScan is extremely versatile, delivering information that helps with
