Where InSight works: sewer and pipeline coverage in Central Florida

Polk, Hillsborough and Orange County, on the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando. One of the fastest growing industrial regions in the country, and one with two opposite pipe problems at the same time.

Why this corridor

New sewer infrastructure meeting old clay pipe

Warehouse, distribution and logistics construction is going in along I-4 at pace. That means new large diameter sewer and storm pipe needing pre-acceptance CCTV and certified documentation before a county will take it on.

Running against that, older Lakeland, Winter Haven and Tampa neighborhoods sit on aging clay and concrete pipe. Two opposite jobs, one service area, both needing a camera.

The Florida conditions

High water table and sandy soil against Florida sewer pipe

Florida high water table and sandy soils make inflow and infiltration a constant battle for municipal systems. Groundwater enters through defects and the treatment plant pays for it.

The June through November rains push stormwater systems to their limit, and heavy downpours expose cracked laterals, root intrusion and undersized or debris filled storm drains that were fine all through the dry months.
