Inspection & Maintenance
The long-term performance of
the stormwater treatment
structures (including
manufactured systems,
ponds, swales, etc.), and the
effective protection of
receiving waters, depends on
a consistent maintenance
plan. Inspection and
maintenance (I & M)
functions are simple and easy
for AquaShield™ Stormwater
Treatment Systems allowing
all inspections to be
performed from the surface.
It is important that a consistent and routine I & M program be established for
each unit based on (1) the volume or load of the contaminants of concern, (2)
the frequency of releases of contaminants at the facility or location, and (3) the
nature of the area being drained.
In order to ensure that our systems are being properly maintained, AquaShield™
offers a maintenance solution to all of our customers. We can arrange to have a
maintenance event performed.
Inspection and Maintenance Data Sheets are provided in the Appendix of this
Manual.
