Without a doubt sewer construction has vastly enriched lifestyle factors for people in the modern day world. These subsurface pipeline networks have provided us with the convenience of indoor plumbing and removed the need for unsightly outhouses.

Few people give thought to sewer construction unless they encounter problems with a damaged pipe or stopped up sewer line. Even then, most people don’t take into account the intrinsic operation behind how sewers work. Rather, they are calling a sewer contractor to fix the issue.

Sewer construction work entails utilizing a variety of techniques to install and preserve the extensive pipeline network that extends across the nation. Construction products and installation procedures must comply with guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Sewer projects are classified into five groups that include municipal, institutional, industrial, residential, and commercial. Each classification utilizes varying sizes of pipes and installation procedures. For instance, the installation of sewer pipes for a newly developed residential community involves different techniques than those used to install pipes at an industrial facility.

Sewerage is the technical name for a complete sewer system. In the U.S., three kinds of sewerage exist and include storm, sanitary, and combined. Because sewer pipes carry away raw sewage that contains a wide mix of harmful contaminants, these pipes are kept separate from pipes that convey drinking water.

The most dominant sewerage installed in the U.S. is sanitary sewers. These systems convey waste accumulated from industrial locations and residential communities to treatment plants where it is filtered, treated, and converted into biodegradable materials.

Septic tanks are generally found in rural communities and remote locations. Essentially, septic tanks are private sanitary sewers that are directly connected to homes and businesses via a network of pipes.

Any time rural locations are developed into commercial or residential communities, property owners typically have to convert septic tanks to city sewer lines. The cost to convert septic tanks can be a few thousand dollars because homeowners have to employ the services of sewer contractors to perform the work. Contractors connect pipes to the main city sewer line. Afterward, they drain the septic tank and plug it so that it does not leak and disperse toxins into the ground.

Combined sewer systems use one pipe to convey storm water runoff and sewage waste. These systems offer an efficient solution for gathering excess storm water and transporting to release points to reduce risk of flooding.

Substantial research and planning goes into designing sewer systems. Engineers have to precisely compute wastewater flow rates that are created within the community where the system is going to be installed. Accurate flow rates are instrumental in helping engineers’ select pipe sizes and installation processes to meet requirements of community usage.

Pipeline contractors also collect valuable data using subsurface utility engineering SUE methods to collect information about the construction site. SUE supplies data related to the positioning of previously installed pipes.

Once coordinates of installed pipes are determined, contractors begin preparing the site by clearing and grading the land. Afterward, trenches are dug in preparation of installing the network of pipes. After pipes are installed in the trenches, they undergo extensive testing to ensure they do not leak. Finally, contractors’ fill in the trenches and engage in land restoration procedures.

Regardless of the size or type of job, it’s always best to work with skilled sewer construction contractors that are highly regarded in the industry. Look for business that have an exceptional record of construction safety and are financially solid.
