PASS Is the Fast, Affordable Way to Inspect Sewers

The Phased Assessment Strategy for Sewers (PASS) is a workflow for understanding sewer condition quicker with fewer resources. With PASS you can prioritize which lines need the most attention, and also keep your system-wide assessment more current.

Following the PASS workflow, wastewater departments can cut assessment costs by 34% and boost productivity by 17%. This digital infographic breaks it all down to help you immediately comprehend and communicate its value.

The PASS approach is divided into three phases:

• Phase 1: Zoom camera survey of all lines to see which need further attention.
• Phase 2: Post-cleaning video nozzle assessment of questionable lines.
• Phase 3: Thorough crawler inspection only for pipes that need it.

PASS ensures labor and resources are directed where they're needed most and improves response time for inspection and repair.
