3 About Cocoa, FL The Waste Water Reclamation Division of the City of Cocoa s Utility Department is responsible for the following: 53 waste water pump stations (lift stations) and associated controls, check valves, and piping Nearly 100 miles of gravity sewers and force mains Nearly 50 miles of reclaimed water distribution mains and service lines to almost 2000 customers 2

4 City of Cocoa Electro Scan Demo 8 VCP sanitary sewers, laid at minor grade, with a light flow. Pipes were known to have issues. Objective: Determine if Electro Scan can identify and quantify any defects in the pipe that could contribute to infiltration. 3

5 Cocoa City Scanned Piped Ranked by Worst Total GPM Flow 1 2 4

6 Pipe With The Worst Total GPM Flow 1 5

7 Interim Findings Two (2) Sewer Mains were surveyed in Cocoa using Electro Scan (ASTM F ), totaling approximately 670 feet. The worst Sewer Main represents 73% of the Total Defect Flow If no recent field investigation has been conducted, It is recommended that sewer mains showing the highest contribution to defect flow be televised or re-televised, instructing field crews to capture specific pan, tilt, and zoom features of identified anomaly footage locations, as the electro scan process does not indicate defect location by clock position. Total Estimated GPM (By Area) = GPM or 16,848 GPD - Large (0%) Medium (44%) Small (56%) 6.51 Total Defect Count = 33 - Large (12%) 4 - Medium (0%) 0 - Small (88%) 29 Main Focus of Further Investigation. This refers to the size of the defect. Interesting metric, but not as important 6

36 2 MH SR1 to MH SR2 Summary Electro Scan identified twenty-one (21) locations of potential infiltration throughout the length of this pipe. This equates to a defect approximately every 18 feet, with an average potential infiltration rate of 0.15 GPM per defect. Total Estimated Leakage of the pipe inspected represents 3.21 gallons per minute, or 4,622 gallons per day, ±40% accuracy, assuming a 1 foot head over the top of the pipe. 35

37 Findings and Conclusions Electro Scan identified 33 locations of potential infiltration throughout the 670 feet length of the two (2) pipes Total Estimated Leakage of the two (2) pipes inspected represents almost 12 gallons per minute, or over 17,300 GPD, ±40% accuracy, assuming a 1 foot head. Average estimated flow thru each defect is 0.4 gallons per minute (1,340 GPD), occurring approximately every 20 feet. The quantity of potential infiltration on these particular pipes should serve as an example of how Electro Scan is able to objectively locate and measure defects to help make better rehabilitation decisions. Quantitative data, like the data provided by Electro Scan, should be used to either determine the most efficient and cost-effective rehabilitation method or to determine which pipes warrant further investigation and inspection. Often times, Electro Scan can identify certain locations or lengths in the pipe that are significantly worse than the rest of the pipe. In cases such as that, rehabilitation methods such as spot repairs can be considered. These pipes have defects spread throughout their entire length, at almost every other joint, indicating that whatever rehabilitation method that is chosen should include the entire pipe. However, it would have to be compared, quantitatively, to the rest of the pipes in the system to determine its priority in a rehab plan. By utilizing all technologies available, rehabilitation budgets can be maximized, and infiltration removed from the system most effectively. As mentioned during the demonstration, in addition to helping to prioritize rehabilitation plans, Electro Scan is able (per ASTM ) to certify new construction and rehabilitation. With these pipes being scheduled to possibly be lined with a cured-inplace pipelining method, it is recommended that post-lining certification be completed using Electro Scan. 36

38 As demonstrated during the presentations in Cocoa, FL, Electro Scan does not replace CCTV; however, it does confirm the limited use of television inspection. While visual inspection, aided by pan & tilt and 360 o panorama capabilities, is recommended to identify alignment problems, cross bores, sags, fats, oils and grease, construction debris, and protruding service connections, television inspection is not recommended to identify sources of infiltration or exfiltration or as final Acceptance of point repairs, relining, or new construction projects. Recommended use of Electro Scan include the ability to: Identify and measure all sources of infiltration from cracks, bad joints, and defective service connections, Rank & prioritize sewer mains and laterals that should be repaired, relined, or renewed, Integrate with hydraulic modeling programs to re-calibrate model assumptions based on its estimated gallons per minute (GPM) of flow from defects, Certify point repairs, relining, and new construction (i.e. citing ASTM F2550 as part of any published work specification) to ensure that projects performed by third-party contractors are delivered without defects or leaks, prior to Acceptance. Originally approved in 2006, ASTM F2550 was recently modified to expand its use to include testing and certification of pipe repairs, renewal, and new construction. The revised standard was approved October 1, 2013, by unanimous vote of Committee F36, for renewal for a five-year extension. Conclusions 37

Who is Backing Electro Scan? 10. What Major Awards Has Electro Scan Won? 38

40 A. What Does Electro Scan Do, That CCTV Cannot? Answer: Find sources of infiltration and cracks. Infiltration is a key factor causing Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) and Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) caused by cracks & defects found in manholes, sewer mains, service connections, and laterals. Given the limitation of CCTV i.e. not able to visually find leaks -- Electro Scan automatically finds, locates, and measures (i.e. in gallons per minute) the amount of infiltration (i.e. in gallons per minute) caused by defects. Electro Scan can also certify newly installed, recently repaired and rehabilitated pipe lining. B. How Does It Work? Electro Scan is designed to automatically assess non-conductive pipes (e.g. asbestos concrete, brick, clay, cement, plastic, reinforced concrete, etc.), where no electrical current should ever be able to leak or escape into the ground from inside the pipe unless, of course, there is a crack or break in a pipe. Electro Scan s technology utilizes a low voltage/high frequency patent-pending process to automatically find & measure defects not commonly detected by closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras or acoustical devices. Using its international patent-pending technology that measures the variation of electrical current inside pipes, Electro Scan automatically locates and measures potential leaks in gallons per minute. 1. What is Electro Scan? C. Who Has Endorsed or Used Electro Scan? Electro Scan has undergone numerous U.S. EPA studies and found superior to CCTV in finding the location and quantification of defects that cause leaks. Electro Scan is the only company with products in compliance with ASTM Standard F , just approved for another five years by ASTM Committee F36. Winning international acceptance, Electro Scan has recorded nearly 1 million feet of scans in the U.S., England, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, and represents the next generation in defect location and certification of pipeline repairs & rehabilitation, able to work in wet weather and dry weather conditions.

44 5. How Does It Calculate GPM? Electro Scan s standard Graph displays the Maximum Defect Current and Lengths (i.e. from and to start and end points of defects), with its Critical Sewers cloud application providing an estimated Gallon per Minute (Defect Flow) based on the Defect Area and Electric Current sustained over that Area. While Large Current Readings over a Large Area often result in the largest estimated GPM or Defect Flow, frequently the largest estimated GPMs may be caused by smaller current readings over larger areas (Right). From 12,000 20,000 data points may be collected for an average 300 ft sewer main with Electro Scan representing the first automated tool to identify & measure leaks to the closed 1 centimeter or 0.4 inch.
