INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER INSPECTIONS
Understand equipment condition, document concerns, and plan the next step.
Watermen provides onsite industrial wastewater inspections backed by hands-on experience since 1975. We can inspect individual equipment or an entire treatment plant, document visible conditions, and explain practical maintenance or repair priorities.
SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT WE INSPECT
Oil-water separators (OWS)
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems
Pumps, piping, and tanks
Flow meters and calibration or verification needs
Controls, alarms, and electrical components
Chemical-feed equipment
Sludge-handling systems
Complete industrial wastewater plants
FLOW-METER CHECKS AND VERIFICATION
When flow measurement is part of the agreed inspection scope, Watermen can compare magnetic flow-meter readings using a portable strap-on meter where pipe and process conditions allow. For open-channel flumes and weirs, we can use tape measurements and the device’s flow relationship to check the indicated flow where appropriate.
Calibration and verification support is documented in writing. When applicable, the customer receives a letter and a service sticker is applied to the unit.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A clear explanation of our observations
Photographs of equipment and problem areas
A written inspection report and agreed checklist
Maintenance and operating recommendations
Repair options or an estimate when appropriate
A calibration or verification letter and unit sticker when applicable
AN AGREED SCOPE BEFORE THE VISIT
Watermen develops a site-specific inspection checklist using our experience and the data points your facility wants recorded. You review the inspection scope before work begins, helping each visit produce consistent, useful records.
WHEN TO REQUEST AN INSPECTION
Inspections can support treatment troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, permit-related documentation, and preparation for regulatory visits. Reviewing equipment condition and available cleaning and maintenance records helps your team identify concerns and organize follow-up work.
WHAT TO EXPECT ONSITE
We prefer to inspect while the system is operating when site conditions and access allow, so we can observe equipment and treatment performance. The operating condition, access requirements, and inspection boundaries are discussed with your team in advance.
IF WE IDENTIFY A PROBLEM
Watermen explains the issue and recommends a practical corrective action. At your direction, Watermen may complete the repair when appropriate, help coordinate a contractor, or provide information for your staff to perform the work.
