Infiltration is relentless and plagues communities large and small. The goal of injection grouting in municipal sewer systems is to seal joints and defects to stop active or potential infiltration and inflow (I&I) through in structurally sound pipes. The consequence of being reactive is far more costly – and hazardous – than being proactive by maintaining and rehabilitating utilizing injection grouts. According to the US EPA, up to 50% of flow to wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is a product of groundwater infiltration entering the system through pipe joints and defects. This problem increases treatment volume which is absorbed by the ratepayer.
