1. Introduction
2. Influence of deposits on sewer systems
3. Maintenance strategies
4. Sewer inspection by means of a manhole‐zoom camera (“electronic sewer mirror”)
5. Example of a selective cleaning strategy: City of Salzburg, Austria
6. Summary
Introduction
• approximately 100,000 km of public sewers in Austria
• sewer cleaning = main task of wastewater utilities
• sewer cleaning as financial burden for many cities andmunicipalities due to precarious financial situation
• Austrian technical guideline OEWAV RB 22 recommendsa forward‐looking sewer management strategyin order to: reduce costs and minimise enviromental impacts
Influence of deposits on sewer systems
1. Decrease of hydraulic capacity decrease of aviable cross sectional area of discharge increase of sewer pipe roughness change of surface curves in CSO‘s
2. Operational difficulties increase of sewer cleaning effort health risks for operational staff due to gas production under anaerobic
conditions biochemical attack due to sulfuric acid
3. Enviromental impacts odour nuisance caused by the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) increase of stormwater overflow discharge
Quantities of disposed waste in 2009(based on a survey preceding the OEWAV‐KAN convention)
pipe sections with blockages
pipe sections with hardly any deposits

1. reactive strategy (“emergency strategy“)̶ sewer is not cleaned on a regular basis, only as required̶ “troubleshooting“ interventions
2. proactive strategy̶ inspection and maintenance based on predefined intervals̶ e.g. annual sewer cleaning cycle
3. selective strategy̶ cleaning occurs on a demand‐oriented basis̶ requires accurate knowledge of the sewer system
e.g. manhole‐zoom camera

Sewer inspection by means of a manhole‐zoom camera
• investigations based on 4 sewer catchment areasin Tyrol, Salzburg und Upper Austria
• pipe material (asbestos cement, clay, concrete, PVC)
• pipe dimension (DN 150 – oval 1,300 / 900)• 342 sewer sections (totalling 9.4 km) combined sewer systems: 242 sewer sections sanitary sewer systems: 100 sewer sections
• cleaning strategies: reactive / proactive

change proactive selective in 2010
Result of strategic change: sewer cleaning expenses
decreased by 60 % within a year.
Summary• deposits cause decrease of hydraulic capacity and generate
operational difficulties and enviromental impacts
• degree of pollution in approx. 2/3 of all pipe sections ≤ 2,5 % (both sanitary and combined systems)
• for majority of pipe sections self‐cleaning effect sufficient no additional cleaning measures required
• manhole‐zoom camera = simple and quick tool to inspectthe sewer system, assess the amount of deposits and monitorthe cleaning performance
• due to strategic change (proactive selective) the sewer cleaning expenses of the City of Salzburg decreased by 60 % within a year
