Sewer System

Can-Explore leverages its expertise and cutting-edge technologies to review and update sewer network plans. Using non-invasive detection methods and rigorous data collection in the field, our team accurately locates existing pipelines and their components. The result is a reliable and up-to-date mapping that is essential for work planning, regulatory compliance, and the effective management of underground assets.

Flow measurement allows for precise evaluation of the hydraulic performance of sewer and water networks. Can-Explore installs flow meters to collect real-time data on the volumes of water flowing through pipes. This data is essential for detecting overflow risks, locating surcharges related to extraneous waters, and properly sizing treatment or retention infrastructure in new projects.

We conducts ovality tests using mandrels and laser profilometers to verify the compliance of pipes. This operation helps identify deformations that compromise the hydraulic capacity, hinder long-term performance, or pose a risk of failure. The data collected ensures that the pipes conform to the deformation limits set by the Bureau de Normalisation du Québec (BNQ) standards and identifies sections that require rehabilitation.

Can-Explore has been assisting municipalities since 2014 in the proactive management of their sanitary and storm sewer networks through our camera inspection services. Our team, composed of water engineers, analysts, and qualified operator technicians, uses cutting-edge technologies to clean, inspect, and diagnose the condition of pipes, prevent malfunctions, and optimize the management of underground assets.

Can-Explore offers a service for detecting cross-connections, utilizing state-of-the-art tools and proven methods such as camera inspections, smoke testing, dye tests, and manhole inspections and sampling. Our interventions efficiently identify anomalies and ensure network compliance. This approach also helps prevent overflows, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and facilitate decision-making regarding rehabilitation.

Can-Explore performs sewer line reaming to remove obstructions that hinder wastewater flow and compromise inspections. This trenchless intervention (TST) restores the full hydraulic capacity of the network without interrupting its operation. By eliminating hard deposits, roots, and other debris, reaming ensures a more accurate assessment of the pipe condition while reducing the risk of backups and structural damage.

Can-Explore provides an analysis and work recommendation service for the management and rehabilitation of municipal infrastructures. Our experts work closely with cities to optimize the management of their stormwater and sanitary sewer networks, delivering solutions tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of each project.

Our comprehensive legal expertise services in urban hydraulics encompass all infrastructures for potable water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. The resulting expert report provides a detailed and precise description of existing issues to individuals, municipal officials, contractors, and insurers involved in complex legal matters.

The intensification of weather events and the revision of flood zone maps by the government present a challenge for many municipalities and property owners: understanding their flood vulnerability to better prepare. Can-Explore offers consulting engineering services for managing flood-related risks.
