RSP owners representation focuses on customer satisfaction. Whether it is a residential or commercial project our owner representative team will work closely with the whole team. First by doing a schedule for the project team including Architects, Engineers and General Contractors. Then we keep a constant coordination to make your project be on schedule from the planning to the construction phase. Our professional team at RSP will always keep you informed during your project. We will do this by providing you with weekly or bi-weekly reports on the progress of your project.

At RSP Engineers, we prioritize the maintenance and care of storm and sewer infrastructure to ensure its optimal performance and longevity. We offer a range of services aimed at evaluating and improving the sewer systems, including third cycle evaluations, smoke tests, flow tests, closed circuit television videos (CCTV) and pump station condition assessments. Here's an overview of how we approach each of these services:

1. Third Cycle Evaluations: Our team conducts comprehensive third cycle evaluations of sewer infrastructure. This involves a thorough inspection of the entire system, including pipelines, manholes, and other components. We assess the condition of the infrastructure, identify any potential issues or areas of concern, and provide detailed reports with recommendations for maintenance or repairs. This evaluation helps in prioritizing maintenance activities and ensures the effective functioning of the sewer system.

2. Smoke Tests: Smoke testing is a valuable technique used to identify and locate sources of infiltration and inflow (I&I) in sewer systems. We introduce non-toxic, artificially generated smoke into the sewer lines and observe where the smoke emerges, revealing potential defects such as cracks, faulty connections, or leaks. By pinpointing these problem areas, we can suggest targeted repairs or rehabilitation measures to mitigate I&I and prevent further damage.

3. Flow Tests: Our flow testing services involve measuring the flow capacity and performance of sewer lines. Using advanced techniques and equipment, we evaluate factors such as flow velocity, volume, and pressure within the system. This information helps us assess the system's hydraulic efficiency and identify any constraints or bottlenecks. Based on the results, we provide recommendations for optimizing the flow capacity, reducing blockages, and improving overall system performance.

4. CCTV Inspections: We employ state-of-the-art CCTV technology to conduct detailed inspections of sewer pipelines. By deploying specialized cameras mounted on remotely controlled vehicles or drones, we capture high-resolution video footage of the interior of the sewer lines. This allows us to visually assess the condition of the pipelines, identify any blockages, cracks, corrosion, or other defects that may hinder the system's performance. Our team of experts analyzes the CCTV video footage captured during the inspections. We carefully examine the footage, annotate any observed issues, and compile comprehensive reports with detailed findings and recommendations. These reports serve as valuable references for understanding the current condition of the sewer infrastructure and developing targeted maintenance or repair plans.

5. Pump Station Condition Assessment: Pump stations are critical components of sewer infrastructure, and their proper functioning is crucial for efficient wastewater management. We conduct detailed assessments of pump stations to evaluate their condition, operational efficiency, performance analysis and potential risks. Our team inspects the equipment, electrical systems, control mechanisms, and overall structural integrity of the pump station. We identify maintenance needs, suggest upgrades or repairs, and provide recommendations to enhance reliability and extend the lifespan of the pump station.

At RSP Engineers, we pride ourselves on our expertise in storm and sewer infrastructure assessment. Our services are designed to support effective management and ensure the longevity of storm and sewer systems. By conducting third cycle evaluations, smoke tests, flow tests, CCTV, and pump station condition assessments, we help our clients proactively address issues, improve system performance, and reduce the risk of costly failures or environmental concerns.
