Lift Station Repairs Demonstrate Efficacy of New Chemical Grout Injection Technology

By Suzan Chin-Taylor Injecting chemicals to stabilize, lift, seal or compact weak soils and rocks is not new. Polyurethane grout material has been used for this purpose since the 1960s. However, the limitations of this process have often been frustrating, not only for asset owners but installers, as well. Historically, material injection has been limited to shallow depths of twenty feet or less, due to the technology, means, and methods of application. As the material is injected, it begins to synthesize (cure) inside the injection tube. While the synthesis rate…

Northern Michigan Township – High-strength wastewater challenge

When your small but vital Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) in excess of 700 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and had phosphorus levels as high as 20 mg/L, it pays to have a firm advocate of good clean effluent at the helm. With its small population (358) but a fast-rising number of food and retail outlets serving the nearby City of Cadillac, this WWTP in the Northern Michigan Township of Haring was perhaps always destined for interesting times. Before the Haring Township WWTP was built in 2014/15,…
