Service
RSP Engineers conducts sanitary and storm sewer camera inspections for thorough infrastructure assessments.
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.
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:

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.
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.
City and municipal, County government, Sewer pipelines and pump stations, Water distribution pipelines, Industrial, Commercial property.
Tell us about the project — the site or property, the type of development, its stage, and what you need sanitary sewer evaluation for — and we will come back to you about scope and next steps.
Case study
Miami, FL
RSP Engineers conducted a comprehensive sanitary sewer infrastructure assessment in Miami-Dade County, including smoke and flow testing, to ensure compliance with the third cycle recertification requirements.

Case study
Miami Gardens, FL
RSP Engineers recently completed a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES) at County Square Shopping Center in Miami Gardens, meeting Miami-Dade County compliance standards.
Read case study →A structured investigation of a collection system to find where extraneous water is entering it and what condition the pipes and manholes are in. It is the work that turns a known inflow and infiltration problem into a prioritized list of repairs.
When inflow and infiltration strains treatment capacity or causes sanitary sewer overflows and the sources have to be found, or when condition data is needed to prioritize cleaning and repairs and to build a capital improvement plan.
Flow monitoring, smoke and dye testing, and camera inspection of the pipes and manholes, with flow isolation to narrow down where extraneous water is entering. Which methods apply depends on what the system is doing and what is already known.
Yes. Newly installed pipelines and manholes can be inspected against specification before the work is accepted, which is the point at which defects are still the contractor's to correct.
Yes. Where a transaction needs the condition and liability of underground utilities understood before closing, inspection establishes what is actually there rather than what the records say.
Tell us the site, schedule and jurisdiction and we will confirm which disciplines and licences apply before proposing scope.
