reduced allowable particulate matter by over 98% since the 1980s. The company’s advanced sewer inspection technologies represent another innovation frontier. “Our sewer inspection cameras function like remote control cars with GoPro-style camera heads,” says Haase. “These crawlers move through sewer pipes, inspecting joints and lateral connections from homes and businesses.” The resulting data allows operators to identify and address infrastructure issues before catastrophic failures occur through a proactive approach that saves municipalities significant remediation costs. This technology-forward stance addresses a critical national challenge.
