Swimming in Success, Not I/I – What made it Work – Cleveland, Tennessee’s Scope 10 Program

The purpose of a sanitary sewer rehabilitation project is to eliminate inflow and infiltration and improve system infrastructure including mainlines, manholes, and service lateral connections. A successful project is based upon adaptability, continuous oversight during the construction phase, planning, and proper budgeting. The planning must include system prioritization by strategically utilizing flow monitoring and sanitary sewer evaluation survey data. Leveraging technological advances in GIS when conducting sanitary sewer evaluation studies allows maximum flexibility during the design process of rehabilitation projects. Continuous oversight and supervision throughout the construction phase is key to ensure the design is properly carried out and all repairs are made according to specifications.
