Major and Target Basin I&I Locating Services
Conducting Major Basin and Target Basin I&I Assessments with RH Borden is the latest in I&I locating technology. RH Borden uses a network of sensors to monitor up to two hundred manholes simultaneously. This network can detect any change to flow caused by infiltration or inflow as it comes into each manhole. After only 1-2 weather events, you can know exactly where your I&I at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
RH Borden locates I&I with Major and Target Basin assessment:
Major Basin Assessment:
- During a Major Basin Assessment, sensors are placed at the downstream manhole of each major basin in the study. As wet weather occurs, these sensors can immediately identify which major basin is the primary contributor to the overall I&I in the system.
Target Basin Assessment:
- In Target Basin Assessments, sensors are strategically placed throughout the entire basin creating an intelligent series of independent micro-basins. With RH Borden’s ability to isolate flows, the I&I is quickly detected, often after just a single rain event.
BASINiQ FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About I&I Location Services
How does BASINiQ detect I&I?
BASINiQ uses a network of sensors placed in selected manholes to monitor flow changes during wet weather. Those readings show where infiltration or inflow is entering the sanitary sewer system so RH Borden can narrow the source area quickly.
What is the difference between a Major Basin Assessment and a Target Basin Assessment?
A Major Basin Assessment places sensors at the downstream manhole of each major basin to identify which basin contributes the most I&I. A Target Basin Assessment places sensors throughout a basin to create smaller micro-basins and locate the I&I source within a few hundred feet.
How many manholes can RH Borden monitor during a BASINiQ assessment?
RH Borden can monitor up to 200 manholes simultaneously, allowing utilities to evaluate large sewer basins efficiently during qualifying rain events.
How quickly can BASINiQ locate I&I?
Depending on weather and system conditions, BASINiQ can often identify the primary I&I source area after one or two rain events.
What happens after BASINiQ identifies the source area?
RH Borden provides actionable location data so utilities can focus follow-up inspection, cleaning, rehabilitation, or repair work where it will have the most impact.
What People Are Saying About
RH Borden’s Services
The SL-RAT is helping us to support the rapid growth of our collection system.
Mack Straw
The SL-RAT service has improved our maintenance program, cut actual costs, and given us much more confidence and trackability concerning the condition of our system.
Jared Hancock
This new technology does appear to be valuable in reducing the City’s labor costs by reducing the regular practice of cleaning pipes that may not need to be cleaned... So far this means a reduction of cleaning responsibilities by 10X!
Chuck Gillette, P.E.
Due to the success of acoustic assessments in our city, we are in the process of updating our SSMP to incorporate this into our annual plan for collection system maintenance.
James Thomas
This is the most amazing device I have seen in 40 years! We can now assess our entire system every year for less than what we were spending to maintain a third of it.
