Join us! Municipal Sewer Grout School Aug. 6-7 [Seattle, WA]

Wednesday, August 6, 2025 - 8 am - 5 pm Thursday, August 7, 2025 - 8 am - 4 pm

Join us at the Municipal Sewer Grout School to learn how and why injection grout is used to stop groundwater infiltration into sewer collection systems, saving taxpayers money and ultimately, extending the system's life expectancy. 

 

Injection grouting of mainline pipe and service laterals is growing more complex with new specifications, new safety guidelines, and renewed emphasis on inspection. Owners and engineers learn first-hand through contractor perspective leading to renewed confidence for both maintenance operations and engineering construction projects.

 

Over the course of two days, instructors from three companies will drive the training curriculum. Experts from CuesLogiball, and Avanti know exactly what its like in the field.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • Collection System Managers
  • Public Works Officials
  • City and Consulting Engineers
  • Utility Contractors
  • Owners & Estimators
  • Technicians & Laborers

 

Infiltration is relentless and plagues communities large and small. The goal of injection grouting in municipal sewer systems is to seal joints and defects to stop active or potential infiltration and inflow (I&I) in structurally sound pipes. The consequence of being reactive is far more costly – and hazardous – than being proactive by maintaining and rehabilitating utilizing injection grouts. According to the US EPA, up to 50% of flow to wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is a product of groundwater infiltration entering the system through pipe joints and defects. This problem increases treatment volume which is absorbed by the ratepayer.

 

The Municipal Sewer Grout School will help you understand how and why injection grouting stops groundwater infiltration into sewer collections. The two-day session will present technical information on:   

  • Lateral and mainline Test and Seal packer operation and maintenance
  • Mixing and optimizing AV-100 Acrylamide Grout performance
  • Review and demonstration of new NASSCO/ICGC grout specifications
  • Live infiltration and grout sealing demos
  • New grout testing and monitoring information and methods


Attendees will receive:

  • Credit for (10) Professional Development Hours (PDH) certified by CIGMAT 
  • Safe Operating Practices Program (SOPP) certification - good for three years!
  • Training documentation and product collateral
  • Personalized Certificate of Completion Achievement
  • Breakfast and lunch both days
