Cornwall
“lnfratech Sewer & Water Services Inc. was mandated by the Corporation of City of Cornwall, Ontario to carry out zoom camera assessment of a portion of the City’s wastewater collection system. The sewer zoom camera inspection work was performed during a 2007 assignment over approximately 20% of the City’s network to prepare an assessment database and a zoom camera inspection and assessment report. Under the direction of Mr. Don Gunn, C.E.T., the project was well-managed to provide technical evaluation and compilation reporting of the inspection detailing condition and potential for blockage grades and classifying all sewer sections and manholes inspected in accordance with Water Research Centre (WRc) standards and with Manual of Sewer Condition Classification (MSCC) using operators and field inspectors with current North American Association of Pipeline Inspectors (NAPPI) certification.
The support staff working for Mr. Gunn also converted some of the relatively recent VHS tapes, on previous CCTV inspection assignments done by others during the period 2000 to 2005 inclusive, to CD or DVD medium in a format compatible with the City’s GIS. lnfratech Services’ team performed this $130,000 assignment successfully meeting the stipulated deadlines. The City of Cornwall was satisfied and pleased with the work undertaken by lnfratech .”

“Infratech Services worked as a sub-consultant to Stantec Consultants on the City’s Asset Management Program development project. This letter confirms the satisfactory performance of lnfratech Sewer & Water Services Inc. on zoom camera inspection assignments for the City of North Bay during 2007 and 2008. Infratech Services completed approximately 3000 manhole inspections at an approximate contract value of approximately $195,000.00 total.
As our first experience with Zoom Technology their staff was very knowledgeable about sewer inspections and sewer rating systems. They were also willi ng to exchange information and educate the City staff on the technology as well as overall sewer condition ratings, and options for other inspections and rehabilitation opportunities.
The project was completed over a period of changing seasons and amid various other obligations of the City forces. Infratech was very flexible in being able to work with our crews, change target areas and adapt their schedule to meet our needs amid their other clients’ needs as well. Based on their past performance the City of North Bay can reliably recommend Infratech Services as a contractor for the provision of zoom camera inspection services.”
