How To Inspect Inlet Filter Inserts Inspection of inlet-based systems is fairly straightforward as this is purely a visual inspection. It may require lifting the grate to evaluate, but all we are looking for in the inspection is accumulations of silt, sediment, and trash in the system. If the basket or bag is half full that is a good indication of the need for maintenance. In the case of fabric bags, make sure to check for tears of holes in the fabric and notate on the inspection report. Additionally, check for any signs of damage to the frame. Frames can bend under high flows (depending on the manufacturer and model) and so must be checked to ensure that they are not bent or otherwise compromised. Notate any deficiencies on the report. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

Cutting corners in stormwater management might save time and money in the short term, but the long-term costs are often far greater. Poor design can lead to increased flooding, environmental degradation, and loss of public trust. We have a duty to uphold the highest standards of quality and ethics in every project we undertake. Are we choosing the best materials, the most effective designs, and the correct maintenance, even when they come at a higher cost? On Global Ethics Day, let’s remember that the true cost of cutting corners is far too high. Our commitment to ethical practices must be unwavering, even when it’s difficult. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

Common Inlet Filter Inserts Failure Points Due to the varying designs and materials, there can be several points that can fail in these systems. The most common is in the fabric bag systems. It isn’t logical to believe that this fabric will last longer than a few years, and it doesn’t. Fabric can tear when a sharp object or large debris enters the system. The elements can take their toll on these fabric bags as well, deteriorating them over time. The real failure is not necessarily in the construction of these systems, but rather in the ability to maintain them. Sometimes the fabric bag and netting can be difficult to clean mud off of. Additionally, the angled steel that feeds water into the system prevents maintenance crews from simply turning the unit upside down and dumping the contents. Most of the debris gets caught under these plates. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

Periodic system inspections should be performed to determine whether the disposal of captured material is needed to ensure proper operation of the Aqua-Swirl® treatment system. Essential elements of a swirl chamber inspection include observing floating materials and measuring the accumulated sediment at the base of the swirl chamber. These two activities can be performed at the ground surface and there is no need to enter the device! Need an inspection completed on your Aqua-Swirl? Contact us to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

How Inlet Filter Inserts Provide SWQ Inlet filters utilize a series of screens to provide treatment along with some type of hydrocarbon filtration media. The screens filter trash, bottles, cans, silt, and sediment. The hydrocarbon media filters out oil and grease. These systems are not as effective as hydrodynamic separation but are the most financially viable option if there are few inlets (+/- 10) or if there are multiple outfalls (discharge points to the public drainage). They are very effective at filtering trash and debris. And so in addition to stormwater quality, they are the perfect pre-treatment device for underground detention. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

Does Your Property Have a Lift Station? Lift stations are essential for properties where detention ponds or sanitary systems are lower than surrounding drainage infrastructure. These systems “lift” water or effluent from the bottom of a pond or tank and discharge it to the appropriate drainage or sanitary line. Proper pump sizing is crucial—too small, and the system never fully drains; too large, and excessive cycling wears out the pump. Unfortunately, many detention pond systems are undersized from the start, leading to prolonged water retention. Regular maintenance and correct sizing can ensure your lift station operates efficiently and prevents costly issues. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement
