Martin’s Pipeline Inspection, Inc. uses the most efficient pipeline maintenance and cleaning equipment on the market today
to ensure the most thorough, efficient and cost effective cleaning and debris removal. Our specialized trucks and highly
trained, experienced and courtesy staff provide professional pipeline maintenance in all settings.
With our Aquatech & VacCon PD units that are designed for cleaning sanitary and storm sewer, conduits, culverts, and drain
pipes ranging in size from 6" to 48". These trucks are equipped with 600 foot, 1 inch, high pressure hose that has a variety of
self propelling high velocity jet nozzle and cutters, 1500 gallon water capacity and 12 cubic yard debri tanks. These trucks can
produce 2,000 psi at 80 gallons per minute, and with additional nozzles that can be attached, allows root cutting or tap cutting
in a sewer system to be done. Other attachments will thrust the nozzle up the sewer right through the clogged materials
relieving the stoppage and washing back any loose debris to be removed. All material that is brought back to the manhole
can be vacuumed up and then properly disposed of. Martin’s Pipeline Inspection, Inc. also has extend-a-jets that allow for
limited access and utility easements cleaning to be performed.
Martin’s Pipeline Inspection, Inc. also places a high priority on traffic safety and implements a traffic safety and traffic flow
plan prior to each job that will allow for the smoothest possible and, in most cases, uninterrupted flow of traffic.

Sanitary & Storm Sewer Cleaning
Hydro Excavation is a non-destructive excavation method, which uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to dig. This
virtually eliminates the risk of damaging existing underground infrastructures such as expensive fiber optic cables, electric
cables, water pipes, sanitary pipes and dangerous gas lines. Conventional methods of digging holes require shovels,
bobcats, backhoes and bulldozers. All of these risk damage to these hidden services.

Manhole Rehabilitation
Manholes can be rehabilitated and pass a vacuum test for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
Beyond being environmentally hazardous, sanitary sewer overflows are a constant headache for many public works
directors. Much time is spent on inspecting and repairing the main lines, but the manholes can easily be forgotten.
Manholes can be a major source of infiltration; reports have shown that manholes and other underground structures can
account for 30 to 50 percent of a system's infiltration. This infiltration can occur at manhole rings, through loose mortar and
precast joints and around mainline or stub-out connections. Fallen bricks and mortar can block the sewer flow, and may
eventually lead to collapse, seriously endangering the surface and surrounding environment. Martin’s Pipeline Inspection,
Inc. uses a total rehabilitation system developed by The Strong Seal Company. We can effectively rehabilitate manholes,
wet wells, lift stations, other sanitary sewer structures, and larger storm sewer structures including piping with this fiber-
reinforced cementitious mortar. Our certified staff brings several years of experience in apply Strong Seal products and we
can provide references on request. For product specifications please visit The Strong Seal Company's website at www.

Confined Space Equipment Many facility operators face problems in areas with limited or confined spaces such as sewer
lines, tanks, pipelines, etc. that can be hazardous to enter. Confined space entry can be an extremely dangerous job and
causes many fatal accidents every year.
The government regulated guidelines called OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Standards) define confined space as
space that:
An entry permit (see example - Diagram A) is a written or printed document that indicates if hazards are present in the
confined space, tells the entrant how to control the hazards, and allows entry into the confined space. This permit is
required to perform maintenance if potential hazards are present such as:
Three individuals are required to perform Confined Space Entry:
1. Entry Supervisor - This individual signs the permit and verifies permit requirements to ensure that the following steps
have been taken:
They must also be aware of the physical symptoms associated with hazardous gasses or liquids in the event that they
become exposed to them. The entrant must also:

lines, tanks, pipelines, etc. that can be hazardous to enter. Confined space entry can be an extremely dangerous job and
causes many fatal accidents every year.
The government regulated guidelines called OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Standards) define confined space as
space that:
- Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform the assigned work
- Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (for example: tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults and
pits) - Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy
An entry permit (see example - Diagram A) is a written or printed document that indicates if hazards are present in the
confined space, tells the entrant how to control the hazards, and allows entry into the confined space. This permit is
required to perform maintenance if potential hazards are present such as:
- 1. Toxic gasses or hazardous atmospheric conditions that cause:
- a. Death
b. Incapacitation
c. Injury
d. Serious illness
e. Impairment of judgement or the ability to exit/self-rescue
- 2. Explosive materials
3. Flammable materials
4. Lack of necessary oxygen, (containing less than 19.5% oxygen by volume) which can cause asphyxia
5. Electrocution
6. Unsafe equipment located within the area
7. Mechanical hazards
Three individuals are required to perform Confined Space Entry:
1. Entry Supervisor - This individual signs the permit and verifies permit requirements to ensure that the following steps
have been taken:
- a. Entry conditions have been checked and tested
b. The necessary equipment is functional and in place
c. Proper signage is posted
d. Rescue and emergency service has been notified before entry and are available if needed
The entry supervisor must be knowledgeable of potential hazards and their consequences, and has the final
authorization to cancel a permit if the conditions change.
They must also be aware of the physical symptoms associated with hazardous gasses or liquids in the event that they
become exposed to them. The entrant must also:
- a. Know operational procedures of CSE
b. Maintain continuous contact with the attendant
c. Notify attendant if evacuation is necessary or if atmospheric conditions change
and supports the entrant in the following ways:
- a. Remains in constant contact with the entrant and knows their position at all times
b. Informs the entrant if conditions change or if an evacuation of the area becomes necessary
c. Calls for rescue service if needed
d. Makes sure no unauthorized individuals enter the area
e. Must be aware of hazards that could endanger the life of the entrant
