Third Cycle Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES)
Actionable intelligence:
Your roadmap to a resilient system
We offer full service engineering solutions for assessment, management and rehabilitation of municipal and private sewer infrastructure. Our Third Cycle Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES) is a proven, systematic process to get you the data you need to be compliant, budget smart and protect your underground assets for the long term.
From Data to Decisions:
A View of Your Underground
An SSES is a multi-disciplined engineering investigation that goes far beyond a camera inspection. We use a suite of technologies to give you a complete picture of your system, from overall hydraulic performance to individual defects. Our SSES program includes:
System-Wide Flow Monitoring & I&I Analysis
Inflow Source Identification via Smoke & Dye Testing
Advanced Robotic CCTV Camera Inspection
Targeted Flow Isolation & Capacity Testing
Engineering Reports & Capital Improvement Planning
The Proactive Solution For System Integrity and Compliance
Proactive is the key to preventing failures, avoiding emergency repairs, and meeting environmental regulations like the Clean Water Act. An SSES gives you the data to move from reactive to proactive asset management, identifying and addressing I&I sources that strain treatment capacity and cause Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). Our "Third Cycle" approach reflects our long-term experience in managing recurring evaluation programs to ensure compliance and infrastructure resilience.
Key Applications for Sewer Camera Inspections
Municipal Asset Management & Compliance
Assess public infrastructure to prioritize cleaning and repairs, manage I&I, prevent SSOs and develop long-term Capital Improvement Plans to meet regulatory requirements.
Pre- & Post-Construction Quality Assurance
Verify newly installed pipelines and manholes for our Civil Construction Administration clients meet all quality and specification standards before project acceptance.
Commercial & Industrial Due Diligence
Evaluate the condition and liability of underground utilities as part of a property transaction, linked to our Planning & Site Investigation work.

When to bring in sanitary sewer evaluation
- A municipal or private sewer system has inflow and infiltration that strains treatment capacity or causes sanitary sewer overflows, and the sources have to be found.
- A utility needs condition data on its collection system to prioritize cleaning and repairs and to build a capital improvement plan.
- Newly installed pipelines and manholes have to be verified against specification before the work is accepted.
- A property transaction needs the condition and liability of underground utilities evaluated before closing.
