Mini-Case Study: South Carolina Facility Saves on Wastewater Structure Cleaning & Project Costs

Short case study of a South Carolina facility that saved over $100,000 in project costs dedicated to wastewater structure cleaning by knowing the location and depth of solids in their tanks.

Problem:

A temporary aeration system was planned for installation in a pair of oxidation ditches while the tanks remained online. The system could not have more than 4” of sediment to function effectively. The sediment level was unknown, and the facility operators were uncertain whether to spend money on tank cleaning before the work began.

How SediVision Helped:

SediVision’s technology identified 418.3 cubic yards of debris; however, it was not located in the areas where the temporary aeration would be installed.

Outcome:

The utility avoided spending the budgeted $135,000 on unnecessary tank cleaning and gained insight to proceed confidently with the temporary aeration installation.
