Classic service – it’s a refreshing changefrom business as usual.

Building a business shouldn’t just be about the

destination. It’s important to relax and enjoy the

trip. And that goes double for the WWETT Show.

That’s why at PolyJohn we always remember

to serve up more than just sound advice about how

to increase your profts or how to maintain that

PJN3 so it too can reach vintage status one day.

Quench that thirst for knowledge (and maybe

a cold one or two) in one convenient stop —

Booth #2030 for the PolyJohn Happy Hour

from 3 to 5 today and Friday. Our

helpful attendants would be glad

to top it off so you’ll have

enough fuel to get you through

the weekend.

W

hen Ed Fitzgerald of Jack Doheny Companies came

to the first Pumper Show in 1981, he says he was the

first truck through the door. Things were a bit differ-

ent then. Greeting him was the show’s founder, Bob Kendall.

“There was Bob all by himself and he asked me two ques-

tions: How much space do you need and where do you want to

park?” Fitzgerald recalls of the way it all started 35 years ago in

Nashville. “That was the first time I met Bob. He ran the only

door coming into the building and it was just us and about a

half-dozen trucks.”

Fast forward to 2016. The Pumper Show is now the Water

& Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport Show, and

questions like Fitzgerald’s are answered long before vehicles

arrive at the entrance to the Indiana Convention Center. They

have to be in order to accommodate 599 exhibitors and over

250 pieces of equipment — a rough estimate of what is filling

all 564,000 square feet of floor space in the exhibit hall. Here

are a few more numbers, courtesy of Randy White at Fern

Exposition & Event Services, the show’s decorator: 292,770 square feet of carpet in exhibitor booths, 135,400 square feet of

carpet in the aisles, 2.5 miles of the blue and white curtains

and drapes.

For some things, White can’t be as precise. The amount of

tape his workers put down on Sunday to mark the exhibitor

spaces in the hall? “A whole lot,” White says.

Over the course of about 60 hours beginning Sunday andgoing into the early morning hours of Thursday when the last

piece to the puzzle — the aisle carpet — is stretched into place,

up to 130 Fern employees are busy transforming a dark, empty

hall into the hub of water and wastewater.

It’s All in the Numbers

Setting up the WWETT Show

By Kyle Rogers

“We’re in the trenches,” says unofficial head carpet guy Dayon

Jones. “That’s all there is to say.”

Within the overwhelming prospect of laying nearly 430,000

square feet of carpet, Jones has a singular focus on the prime objec-

tive of his task: “Getting it tight,” he says.

The numbers behind the show stretch on, from 110 classes in 10

classrooms, to 8,181 attendees representing 3,470 companies. Hereare a few more:

64. That’s the number of ounces of Windex that Tyler Zarra of

Advance Pump & Equipment had gone through as of 1:30 p.m.

Tuesday cleaning the tank on the company’s show truck. “It takes a

lot of work to make it look like it just came out of the car wash,” he

says. “We’ll be here today until they kick us out.”

250. Between icy roads and then snow, that’s the number of

hazardous miles the group from Transway Systems encountered

driving its show truck on the 500-mile journey from Hamilton,

Ontario, to Indianapolis. “We always seem to find bad weather on

our drive down,” says Gary Robinson. “We wax the truck before we

leave, but by the time we get down here, it’s covered in sand and

salt and we have to do it again. Two days of polishing and we’re

all set.”

160. That’s the approximate number of feet of liner Perma-Liner

will use Thursday and Friday doing demos at its booth. Morgan

Trouard, director of marketing, says the company will do between 6

and 8 demos each day.

45. That’s the number of minutes (on the high end) that Dar-

rell Gibbs of Fleetwash and his crew can spend washing a truck to

ready it for the exhibit hall. By early Tuesday afternoon, when it

finally started to slow down, Gibbs says he and his crew had washedat least 100 vehicles. “Starting Monday morning it was non-stop,”

Gibbs says. “We stopped at 6 p.m. with trucks still in line. Tuesday

we started at 8 a.m., and it didn’t slow down until about 1 p.m.”

Move-in for the WWETT Show is now far from the days of 2

simple questions: How much space do you need, and where do you

want to park?

Oh, and one final number: 3. That’s how many days you have tocheck out all the tools and equipment and find new ways to make

your business more profitable.

Enjoy the show.

Why we’re Here

The smell of cleaning fluid and chrome polish permeated the air in theIndiana Convention Center Tuesday. Tim Van Ameyde of Westech VacSystems was shining up a heavy-duty hydroexcavator he brought in allthe way from Alberta, Canada.

WWETT Show move-in and setup began Monday, and by Tuesday the show floor was starting to take shape. The team at Infiltrator Water Technologieswas busy building its booth Tuesday afternoon, as the last of the big equipment rolled in through the doors.

The Keys to Long-Term System Performance One-day course provides an introduction and overview of proper

onsite system installation practices

By Kim Peterson

An onsite system that isn’t properly installed is

doomed to fail.

Longtime instructors and septic experts Jim Anderson and

Dave Gustafson will walk attendees through an introduction to

proper installation practices at COLE Publishing’s Onsite In-staller Course tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in rooms 237-239.

What will installers get out of this class?

This class covers the basic installation principles for both

in-ground trenches and above-ground mounds and at-grades. In

addition, we will spend time on looking at how OSHA describes

soils versus how they are viewed for onsite systems. We also spend

time looking at proper site evaluation and soil descriptions.

When we discuss tank installation we not only cover the ba-

sics, but also provide a method to look at the potential for tanks to

float in certain situations. We spend a lot of time on proper pump

selection, why it is important and how to avoid some of the most

common problems with pump systems. At the end of the day we

introduce installation procedures for ATUs and media filters.

Why should a veteran installer attend this class?

It has been two years since we have given this particular class.

We always add new information and ideas we have collected the

past two years to the presentations; so not only is it a good review

but we provide updates on the most current techniques and ques-

tions.

Why should a beginning installer attend this class?

We walk through the installation process for systems from the

beginning discussions with the homeowner through installation

and follow-up. It is the best place to get a comprehensive overview

of installation in one day. There are not only technical installa-

tion tips, but business and planning tips as well.

A brief rundown of topics that

will be covered:

The course begins with an introduction that covers obtaining

permits, site evaluation, dealing with inspectors, planning thejob, OSHA soil requirements, mapping the site and elevations.

We will explain the KISS, KINN and KIDD principles of good

installation for in-ground trenches and beds; the basics of sewage

tank installation; when buoyancy is a problem; what to look for

in a tank location; and problems to avoid.

The course includes a comprehensive look at installing above-

ground mounds and at-grades from site preparation to finishing

the job; how to install pumps for pumping systems; proper sizingof the pumps and selection of the right pump; what to look for in

terms of problems; how to set floats properly; and an introduction

to the installation of different kinds of media filters and ATUs.

Ultra-Efficient Inspection Technique to

Locate Leaks on Septic SystemsThis session will discuss an ultra-efficient leak detection techniquefor septic systems. The presentation will highlight the latest remotesensing tools used in inspecting septic systems. Technologiesused for such investigations include IR-EPA, near IR, LiDAR andhigh-definition visual photogrammetry. Using multiple principles ofphysics to verify the same result enables the user to locate anoma-lies with greater accuracy. The stacking of these non-destructivetechnologies also provides more efficiency and cost savings tothe data collection and analyzation process. The presentation willalso feature the development and testing of these technologies.Real-world examples will be provided such as a project in the Cityof Indianapolis for Citizens Energy Group. Citizens Energy Groupwanted septic system owners to buy into the main sewer system ofthe city. Using an aerial platform with stacked technologies, Cit izensEnergy Group sponsored a flyover where engineers collected dataon failing and leaking septic systems. Data for 250 septic systemswas collected in approximately two hours.

Gary J. Weil/EnTech Engineering Inc.Gary J. Weil has been a pioneer in non-destructive testing (NDT) foralmost 40 years. In 1980, he founded EnTech Engineering Inc. of St.Louis, and while in his present position as chief technology officer,

he has managed over 2,650 NDT investigations in over 30 statesand international venues such as Hong Kong, Sweden, Germany,Spain and Italy. He has developed in-depth knowledge in using NDTtechnologies such as infrared thermography, ground penetratingmicrowave radar, X-ray, pulse-echo, magnetic flux and ultrasonics.He is a graduate of the General Motor’s Institute of Managementand Engineering (now known as Kettering University) in Flint,Michigan, and spent over 10 years with General Motor’s Corporationdesigning, performing and managing major engineering and assetmanagement programs. He is a registered professional engineer inMissouri.

Winning Trench Warfare – Finding Profitability in

Sewer/Septic WorkThis session will discuss how underground work like replacing sew-ers, waterlines, and septic systems can be the profitable backbonethat builds and maintains your business rather than a completeheadache. This session will show you the way with field-testedmethods and results and a step-by-step strategy to make everyunderground plumbing project a success. Attendees will learn thekey elements of a successful underground plumbing job, includingselecting equipment, personnel, materials and job strategy.

11 a.m. – Noon

Your Best Shot at Sewer Success — How to Get the

Most From Inspection TechnologyThis session will discuss how to get the most out of your sewer vid-eo inspection technology. Any experienced wastewater professionalcan diagnose a problem sewer, but doing a spectacular job takesa special kind of expert. Professional-quality video inspections ofsewer lines require an inside out knowledge of pipe materials, repairoptions, and technical skills. But any effective inspection starts witheffective sewer camera use. Attendees will learn everything a profes-

sional sewer expert needs to know to be successful underground,including clear best practices for effective sewer camera usage, linelocating, pricing, and marketing. These key takeaways will give yourbusiness a firm basis for profit and growth. Expert sewer inspectionservices are after all “your best shot at sewer success.”

How Self-Employed People

Can Make More MoneyThis session will discuss strategies for making more revenue be-yond just the price charged for services. If someone wants to makemore money, they need to bring more to the table. How they presentthemselves to a client will determine if, in the cl ient’s mind, they areworth what they are asking for. You must give them a reason to wantto do business with you and pay what you ask for. And making moremoney is only one aspect. Becoming a more organized and efficient

Phased Assessment Strategy for Sewers (PASS) —

Understanding Sewer Condition Quicker with FewResourcesThis session will discuss how municipalities can establish apipeline inspection program that helps deal with deterioratinginfrastructure while also facing dwindling budgets. The evolvingchallenges of sewer inspection require adapting new technolo-gies and methodologies to gain new efficiencies and better data. ACCTV-only inspection approach is often too cumbersome to yieldtimely, actionable, systemwide data. A new approach is neededthat maintains the goal of comprehensive assessment, but whichincreases productivity and reduces costs. While CCTV inspection isan essential tool in any condition assessment program, many times

we find ourselves inspecting lines that don’t need the level of scru-tiny a crawler offers. Rapid assessment tools like zoom cameras andvideo nozzles are ideal front-line tools for identifying such lines. Ifmunicipalities incorporate these tools into a three-stage approach toinspection, they can save significant time and money. This talk aimsto introduce the PASS (Phased Assessment Strategy for Sewers)to people managing and conducting sewer inspections. PASS is aplan for understanding sewer system conditions quicker with fewerresources. The presentation quantifies the specific time and costsavings that can be attained through implementing this unique workflow strategy. Adapting PASS can allow for inspectors to prioritizesystemwide which lines need the most attention, as well as have

time to inspect more regularly. Attendees will walk away from thepresentation with access to the PASS white paper, PASS infographicand the Sewer Inspection Calculator.

Smart Water Technology in Theory and Practice This session will discuss how sophisticated smart water technolo-gies are changing the way water networks are monitored andcontrolled. As the cost of these t echnologies decreases and thedeployment process becomes easier and faster, more and moreutilities are adopting a “smart” approach. A “smart” water network isa fully integrated set of data-driven components and solutions thatallow water utilities to optimize all aspects of their water distribution

systems. Smart water solutions improve the efficiency, longevity,and reliability of a util ity’s underlying physical assets by bettermeasuring, collecting, analyzing, and acting upon a wide range ofnetwork events. By generating knowledge, a utility can accurately setgoals, plan investments, and address some of its largest challengessuch as leakage, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, or cus-tomer service. The theory of a “smart” water network is much closerto a reality due to recent innovations in technology. In practice it isentirely possible to gain high sample rate data and filter it to extractjust the salient information.

Plumbers vs. Technicians: The Slow Decline

of the TradesmanThis session will discuss the traditional apprenticeship model thathas been used throughout history to develop the world’s skilledlabor. In modern times, traditional apprenticeships have all but dis-appeared. Vocational schools, technical schools, and colleges havefilled that skilled labor gap. But for some professions, like serviceplumbing, the apprenticeship model never lost relevance. Vocationalstudies involving plumbing focus on installation, not repair. Theonly real way to become a master plumber is to learn from someonemore experienced. However, a trend has popped up in recent yearsthat threatens the apprenticeship model — the technician. Typicallypaid on commission, technicians are taught the basics of using

service equipment. While trained on the job, it is in a less structuredway. Some technicians find it tough to break into this type ofbusiness, because of the commissioned pay. After all, experiencedplumbers have less incentive to take a technician under their wingor teach them the finer points of service plumbing. This session willfocus on the philosophy of the apprenticeship, why the “technician”title is harmful to the industry, and how All Clear Plumbing is usingthe apprenticeship model to become the fastest growing plumbingcompany in its region. The session will also cover information aboutthe tax benefits and government assistance available for companieswith an apprenticeship program and how companies can leveragetheir programs in marketing efforts.

Using Acoustic Inspection to

Prioritize Sewer CleaningThis session will discuss how acoustic inspection technology canquickly determine the extent of blockage in a pipe and enable theuser to deploy cleaning resources much more effectively. Acousticinspection does not replace CCTV, but it helps to prioritize whereand when to use more expensive CCTV resources. In addition,no contact with flow is necessary (the devices sit on top of the

manhole, and extend less than 2 feet into the manhole when fullydeployed). Use of this technology as a preliminary screening tool forcleaning operations has resulted in substantial cost savings and sig-nificant reduction in sanitary sewer overflows. Multiple case studieswill be discussed, along with an economic analysis and productivityresults. This presentation is based on operator training coursesperformed around the country, so the focus is on practical applicationand use of the technology. Limitations of the technology will bereviewed as well, so that a complete understanding of what acousticinspections can do (and what they cannot do) will be developed.

Evaluation of Automatic Filters for Nozzle

Protection in Recycled Water ApplicationsThis session will discuss the use of recycled water in spray nozzleapplications and how it can reduce energy, operational costs andenvironmental impact. Nozzle protection in the form of filtration is

especially important in recycled water applications where suspend-ed solids are present. Particulate in the water can plug the orificeof the spray nozzle and restrict flow or impair spray uniformity. Theuse of recycled water in high-suspended-solids applications can bechallenging as many automatic filters foul in high-solids loadingapplications. An automatic filter with high-solids loading capabil-ity was evaluated for the protection of spray nozzles in recycledmunicipal wastewater applications. The investigation was performedon secondary effluent from a municipal wastewater treatmentplant. Multiple levels of filtration and different orifice diameterswere tested to develop baseline recommendations for spray nozzleprotection in municipal and industrial applications.

COLE Publishing’s Onsite Installer Course

Friday Feb. 19 – Rooms 237-2398 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Speakers: Jim Anderson and Dave Gustafson

The key to long-term system performance is proper installation practices. This set of discussions will walk professionals through an introduction

to proper installation practices for the sustainable use of onsite treatment systems. By looking at safe and applicable practices for creating onsite

systems they can be long-term infrastructure for a site or a neighborhood. Installers play a key role in this decentralized wastewater treatment

vision. Conventional technologies of septic tanks and soil treatment systems will be reviewed, including additional components such as pumpsand other pretreatment devices to make those systems more applicable on restricted sites. Connecting the system pieces allows for

thoughtful application of onsite technologies in a number of different locations and applications.

Dave Gustafson has been an educator in the Onsite Sewage Treatment Program in Minnesota for the past 25 years. He also thoroughly enjoys

working with the professionals in the onsite industry and regularly troubleshoots real systems that are struggling and uses those experiences

to make his educational discussions informative.

Jim Anderson was education coordinator for NAWT for seven years and is professor emeritus in the Department of Soil, Water and Climate at

the University of Minnesota. He has been involved in education programs about onsite wastewater treatment systems since the mid-1970s.Anderson received the Ralph Macchio Lifetime Achievement Award and numerous other awards and recognition from the University of

Minnesota and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Buying Back CapacityThis session will discuss injection grouting as a solution to inflowand infiltration (I&I) issues. The EPA estimates up to half of all vol-ume at wastewater treatment plants nationwide is due to I&I ratherthan actual sewerage. This is due to lack of maintenance, creating a

landscape where collections systems are unable to run economi-cally and are forced to pass the cost on to the taxpayer. I&I has atremendous impact on collections system capacity — especiallyduring rain events when volumes can reach five to six times theaverage daily flow. An often overlooked aspect of I&I is loss of fines(LOF). LOF removes supporting soils from above-grade structures,but also further reduces system capacity by settling in mainlines.Clearing these lines leads to increased resource consumption.Injection grouting is a technology that is specifically designed forI&I elimination.
