Industrial Sewer systems: Ensuring safety and full functionality of the entire system
Managing sewer systems in highly industrialized areas requires highly specialized skills. Unlike standard municipal systems, industrial sewer systems must withstand corrosive chemicals, very high flow peaks, and large amounts of heavy debris. A single failure or blockage in a pipe can halt production, cause serious environmental contamination, and result in heavy fines.
D.L. Impianti e Costruzioni provides the advanced design, preventative maintenance, and rigorous safety monitoring necessary to ensure the proper functioning of even the most extensive industrial sewer systems.
1. Preventive maintenance and long network life
Keeping a large network efficient isn’t just about fixing faults: it requires scheduled and preventative maintenance.
- Video inspection of pipelines: Using robotic cameras, we inspect underground pipelines and identify cracks, misalignments, and chemical corrosion before they cause structural failure.
- High pressure water jet cleaning: Our teams use high-pressure cleaning equipment to remove scale, chemical deposits, sludge, and industrial debris that impede drainage.
- Trenchless remediation: When repairs are needed, we use relining techniques to restore damaged pipes without interrupting your facility’s surface operations.
2. Rigorous safety protocols for high-risk environments
Industrial sewer systems, by their very nature, can accumulate dangerous and flammable gases and harmful biological agents. For this reason, we apply particularly strict safety regulations.
- Work in confined spaces: Every technician accessing the network is trained and certified to operate in confined spaces, in compliance with Presidential Decree 177/2011, and uses continuous gas detectors, forced ventilation systems, and recovery and rescue devices.
- Atmosphere Control: We constantly monitor the presence of hazardous gases, such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and methane, and ventilate the rooms to prevent poisoning and explosion risks.
- Protection from chemical and biological agents: Our staff uses specific personal protective equipment (PPE), suitable for protection from biological agents and aggressive chemical substances.
3. Full compliance with environmental regulations
An efficient network must comply with environmental regulations and discharge permits issued by the competent authorities.
- Spill prevention and containment: We design and build backup lifting stations and excess water containment systems to minimize the risk of unauthorized discharges into the environment.
- Operating procedures and emergency plans: We develop operational procedures and emergency response plans tailored to your facility’s configuration.
