LATHAM, N.Y. — Brown and Caldwell along with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) were awarded the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) Award for Excellence in Innovation at this year's Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC) for their work to improve the flood grouting process in Seattle.
The project has improved the frequent sanitary sewer backups and overflows that SPU had to deal with in the past, decreasing sewage volumes by 66 percent and peak flow rates by 41 percent.
In this podcast, Water Technology talks to Bob Jacobsen, Brown and Caldwell's senior engineer, about the project, its impact on the industry and what he learned for future flood grouting work.
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
Using digital tools and apps for nearby monitoring and control increases safety and reduces arc flash hazards since electrical equipment can be operated from a safer distance....
