Electro Scan Opens New Office in Miami, FloridaStatewide EPA Enforcement Actions and New Wastewater Inspection Standards Create Strong Demand for Electro Scan Equipment Sales & Contract Services

Miami, FL – February 1, 2016 – Electro Scan Inc., a leading provider of smart leak detection and pipe condition assessment solutions, announced the opening of its new office in Miami, Florida to support the company’s rapidly growing equipment sales and contract services in the Sunshine State.

Florida customers include the City of Tallahassee and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department.

“Statewide enforcement actions by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), combined with new standards for inspectingwastewater collection systems, as recently published in the industry’s leading manual, have increased demand for our game-changingproducts and services,” states Chuck Hansen, Chairman, Electro Scan Inc. and former Chairman, Hansen Information Technologies. Published in December 2015, Electro Scanning Inspection was added to OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEMS, VOLUME 1, SEVENTH EDITION, Chapter 4: Inspecting and Testing Collection Systems.

First published in 1976 with over 90,000 copies in print, the SIXTH EDITION of the manual was published in 2003 and used by many states for operator certification.

Using low voltage electric current, Electro Scanning Inspection is the industry’s first reliable, repeatable, and measurable way toautomatically locate and quantify leaks in gallons per minute (GPM) – finding infiltration and other pipe defects missed by CCTV inspection. No third party data interpretation, operator judgment, or defect codes are required.

“In the past, wastewater managers were limited to using closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection to view and manually catalog

defects,” states, Hansen.

“The majority of sewer pipe defects can’t be measured or seen by high resolution cameras,” states Hansen. “A shortcoming of CCTV has always been its inability to determine specific amounts of leakage from cracks,bad joints, and defective service connections, andElectro Scanning Inspection provides the missing piece.”

“Given the recommended use of Electro Scanning Inspection as the new acceptance standard for pre- and post-rehabilitated pipes, sewer agencies are revising bid specifications to use our smart products or contract services to certify cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, point repairs, and construction projects,” continues Hansen.

Since 1987, the EPA has made available $111 billion in low-interest loans through its Clean Water StateRevolving Fund to help finance infrastructure upgrades.

Last month, the EPA released a survey showing that an additional $271 billion is needed to maintain and improve the nation’s wastewater infrastructure.

“Electro Scanning Inspection finds defects that allow water to enter sewer pipes that may cause sewer backups, flooding, and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs),” stated Carissa Boudwin, Director of Marketing, Electro Scan.

“Electro Scanning Inspection is also the only technology that can find leaking sewers within the cone of influence of Florida’s aquifers. And, nobody wants to be on the evening news issuing a ‘boil water’ notice.” continues Boudwin.

Municipal agencies may either purchase the company’s patented equipment – easily added to existing CCTV trucks or vans – or contract for professional services directly from the company for I&I, SSES, and CIPP certification projects.

Reports are available within minutes from the company’s award winning CriticalSewers® cloud application.

The company’s office is located at 7950 NW 53rd Street, Suite 337, Miami, FL, 33166 and serves as headquarters for Electro Scan Florida, LLC, a subsidiary of Electro Scan Inc.

About Electro Scan Founded in 2011, the company develops smart pipe condition assessment technologies and cloud computing applications that locate, measure, and report defects in water, sewer, and gas pipelines.
