Environment One Corporation
Pressure Sewer Systems
Pressure sewage collection systems were pioneered by Environment One. E/One Sewer systems have proven to be an effective method of sewering otherwise difficult land areas, such as flat, wet, rocky and hilly terrain at a fraction of the cost of gravity sewers. Pressure sewer mains need only to be buried just below the frost line, eliminating the need for the deep trenches often associated with gravity sewers. The small, flexible pipes are also resistant to I&I.
At the heart of an E/One Sewer is the grinder pump, developed by Environment One. These units accept household sanitary waste, grind it into a fine slurry, and pressurize it to permit transport through small-diameter pipes. E/One Sewer Systems serve more than 2 million end users daily.

Applied Bolting Technology
Applied Bolting Technology produces DuraSquirt DTIs (Direct Tension Indicators) that supply a bright orange indication when bolts have been tensioned, making tight bolts easy to see. DTIs are load cells that ensure compliance with bolting standards and specs. Torque, Turn-of-Nut and TCs can all produce false-positive tension, and regularly do: Torque scatter is ±40 percent for new bolts, and worse for weathered. Relying on torque is optimism, at best. TCs are torque bolts adversely affected by cold or wet weather. Turn-of-Nut can be defeated by misrepresenting turn angle, regardless of turn applied. DTIs read load. If a bolt is tight, a DuraSquirt DTI will show it, independent of weather, torque, angle, tool or skill.

Shuriken
Make field welds a thing of the past with Shuriken—better bolted connections that allow you to field bolt any application where access to both sides of a connection is limited. Shuriken allows you to pre-install a nut in the shop in hard-to-reach places, allowing you to field bolt what you would otherwise have to field weld. Because there are no labor-intensive and time-consuming field welds, and bolted connections require less-intensive field inspection, Shuriken can significantly speed up a project’s timeline. To learn more about what Shuriken can do for you, contact Chief Marketing Officer Rick Sebok.
