At Team EJP, we know that some of the situations that develop in your waterworks system can be unique and require special services and products that you may not otherwise be familiar with or use on a regular basis. When you're facing a problem like that, it's often more practical in terms of manpower and budget to bring in outside help that is more familiar with dealing with the problem at hand instead of fumbling ahead while paying your people while they try to figure out unfamiliar equipment or the best way to solve the problem. Here are some of the services Team EJP offers to help you keep your department running smoothly and efficiently:
When you're in the waterworks business, you expect to have problems with a wide range of environmental conditions, from settling and shifting base soil to earthquake subsidence to problems caused by extreme temperatures. One particular concern during the winter months, especially in the northern climates, are frost heaves. Frost heaves can leave you with serious damage to your distribution network, even if your pipelines going through that zone never froze themselves. Here is more information on what frost heaves are, the kind of damage they can do to your pipe network and how to replace older pipes that have been damaged through frost heaves.
At Team EJP, we're always looking for a good company to partner with. When we needed help with transporting water, sewer and drain products within the New England region in 1980, P.E.P. Transportation was formed with a single tractor trailer unit. As we grew, so did P.E.P., adding additional units as needed until they sought their independence in June 1985. When it gained its own operating authority, P.E.P. became a contract carrier within the contiguous United States and has been granted licensing authority in Quebec and Ontario provinces in Canada.
When it comes to protecting the quality of our clean water supply, controlling soil erosion goes a long way. By preventing the buildup of silt and mud in our waterways, we're protecting marine wildlife habitat and lowering the load on groundwater filtration. At Team EJP, we're proud to partner with Presto Geosystems to provide erosion control and soil stabilization products that help our environment while providing a solid solution that will last for years to come. Here's a bit more information about these fabulous products:
Our planet's clean water supply is a topic of great importance to Team EJP and all of humanity. Without clean water, we can't function. As technology has made strides over the past few centuries, that great natural resource has been placed in peril, through draining aquifers, storm water runoff, water pollution and other mechanisms. The recent push for water conservation and reduction of watershed pollutants and erosion has led local groups all over the country to work for better preservation of this vital natural resource.
We all know that college is an expensive proposition. With the last economic downturn, investments set aside for college often took a bad turn, leaving families wondering how to finance a college education. At Team EJP, we know how hard it is to get a good education that puts you solidly on the career path you've chosen for your life. For that reason, we've built the University of Prescott.
When you need to assess a pipeline, do you think it will work better to inspect it at no pressure or while it's under pressure? If you selected "under pressure", you're right, because a pressurized inspection mimics the system's normal operating conditions. But how do you inspect the system while it's under pressure? Using the camera Team EJP deploys in this type of situation, the JD7 Investigator. The Investigator provides some serious data in terms of video, acoustics and sonde measurements, helping track down your pipeline problems fast. Here's what you need to know:
When you have a water distribution system, leaks can seem inevitable. The average system loses about 10 gallons of water per person per day, which can mean thousands to millions of gallons of water lost in a very short period of time. Though you may have an idea of where a really colossal leak could be because of flooding or serious soil displacement, how do you catch those leaks before they become an emergency? Through intelligent leak detection technology.
With winter setting in, do you know what your options are if your mains freeze? The holiday season is just a few weeks away, and there's nothing worse than missing that big dinner with family to work on thawing out frozen lines with equipment ill-suited to the problem at hand. At Team EJP, we're proud to partner with quality companies like Maine Security, a full-time security company that provides third-party administration. They take your calls and direct Team EJP's highly trained professionals and equipment to where they're needed most, including our innovative Magikist pipe thawing technology. That means your mains get thawed, your customers get their service back on and you get to enjoy your time with your family.
According to the Water Main Break Clock, an average of 850 water main breaks occur on a daily basis in the U.S. That's more than one every two minutes. A particularly spectacular one at UCLA spewed out over 20 million gallons of water, flooding the campus as a 12" cast iron water main installed over 85 years ago gave way. Why do they do so much damage? Old iron pipes in corrosive soil eventually rust away, leaving a geyser or a mud hole behind for your maintenance workers to fix.
