Long Beach CA – National Plant Services, Inc., a progressive company providing sewer cleaning services throughout California and adjacent states, has two new mobile water jet sewer cleaning systems that use water reclamation technology to capture, filter, and reuse wastewater in the cleaning of sewers. This technology enables these systems to complete an entire day of cleaning with just 1,000 gallons of water, as opposed to the more than 8-10,000 gallons of potable drinking water used by traditional water jet sewer cleaning systems.
“California faces increasing water shortages,” says Dennis Keene, president of National Plant Services. “The efficiencies and savings that these systems offer will significantly reduce the volume of drinking water required for sewer cleaning.”
The new mobile systems, RECycler 315 water reclamation truck-based units made by J. Hvidtved Larsen A/S of Denmark, use a five-step continuous cleaning process employing filters and settling tanks to clean jetting water and recycle it for re-use.
Larsen trucks, while new to the United States, are widely used and valued across Europe for their ability to reduce water use. National Plant Service is currently the only company in the western United States with these trucks.
High-velocity water jet cleaning of sewers is an extremely effective and necessary technique, but requires high volumes of water. The capability of the RECycler 315 to capture and recycle that water reduces water use without affecting, in any way, the effectiveness of the cleaning work. In addition, since traditional water jet cleaning trucks cannot carry the full volume of water they need for a day of cleaning, cleaning operations must stop repeatedly in order to replenish the water tanks, significantly reducing operational efficiency. The new National Plant Services trucks can work continuously until the day’s work is complete, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

LAKE MILLS, Wisc. –HammerHead Trenchless Equipment has introduced the HammerHead ROUGHNECK™ R600, the largest of its pneumatic percussion drilling systems for use in horizontal directional drilling applications. Designed for drilling solid rock with bit diameters of 7.25 to 8 inches, the R600 gives HDD contractors the ability to complete larger diameter bores in fewer passes as well as access to a wider range of single-pass boring applications.
Josh Hood, HammerHead HDD product manager, said the R600 opens up new possibilities for the horizontal driller: “A typical large-diameter bore might take several passes to open to the final diameter. A larger pilot can help save time and money by eliminating some intermediary passes.”
The larger bits driven by an R600 also increase the range of single-pass applications the driller has access to, Hood said, such as in communications and or other service installations.
The R600 completes the range of existing HammerHead ROUGHNECK rock drills available to HDD customers. It joins the R400 designed for 5.25-inch straight and offset bits and the ROUGHNECK R500 for straight and offset bits to 6.25 inches in diameter.
All three ROUGHNECK hammers turn any horizontal directional drill in the construction industry into a high-production rock drilling machine. Capable of penetration rates of 150 feet or more an hour, the rock hammers feature heavy-duty, high-flow housing; patent-pending pullback kit; control station/oiler; and drill conversion kit.
Their heavy-duty housing permits directional drilling in varying rock conditions without changing out the housing. The larger bore diameter of the ROUGHNECK housings allows the hammer to send more air to the internal piston for maximum efficiency, resulting in faster and harder blows. Standard API thread makes housing connections easy. And a patented, pinned-on lid design and isolation package secures and protects electronic investment.
The patented offset rock bit design increases steering precision, allowing the operator to navigate a wide variety of ground conditions. Integrated face-cleaning exhaust ports of the hammer ensure reliable performance, and the patented check valve located within the bit eliminates ingestion of debris.
The control station utilizes the drill’s existing mud pump to efficiently deliver air, oil and fluids down hole, reducing footprint size and weight. Integrated electronics facilitate the drilling operation and provide the operator with control and increased productivity without leaving the drill operator’s station.
All ROUGHNECK control stations can be installed with a tee and a ball valve on the high pressure side of the mud pump, which directs airflow to the drilling fluid supply line.
As with all HammerHead products, ease-of-maintenance is built in. The ROUGHNECK system is equipped with patented spanner wrench holes in the front and rear of the hammer, reducing the number of breakout tongs required to change out the bit or service the tool.
The ROUGHNECK R600 rock hammer system is available worldwide from HammerHead Trenchless Equipment or from authorized dealers. Authorized dealers can be found on the web at www.hammerheadtrenchless.com or by calling 800.331.6653. (International: + [1] 262.567.8833).

CHICAGO (April 22, 2015) — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Administrator Susan Hedman today awarded the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign first and second prizes in the EPA Campus RainWorks Challenge at an Earth Day “EcoJam” in Chicago.
EPA’s Campus RainWorks Challenge is a national competition in which college students design green infrastructure plans and projects — such as rain gardens and green roofs — to manage stormwater on campus.
“Congratulations to the student teams from UIC and Urbana-Champaign for placing first and second in EPA’s national Campus RainWorks Challenge competition to design campus stormwater Master Plans,” said Hedman. “These award-winning green infrastructure plans use innovative approaches to capture rain where it falls – to prevent pollution from reaching our lakes and rivers.”
EPA launched the Campus RainWorks Challenge in 2013 to help inspire the next generation of engineers, planners and landscape architects to develop innovative green infrastructure systems. The winning UIC and Urbana-Champaign student teams will receive cash awards and each campus will receive funding for faculty research on green infrastructure.
The UIC team was composed of seven students from civil engineering, materials engineering, urban planning and policy, and earth and environmental sciences. The students won first prize for an integrated green infrastructure plan to reduce runoff on the east side of the UIC campus by 25 percent.
The Urbana-Champaign team was composed of 12 students from environmental economics, civil engineering, architecture and landscape architecture. The students won second prize for a plan to expand the current network of green infrastructure on campus to reduce stormwater runoff into Boneyard Creek by over 35 percent.
This year, over 500 college students from 64 teams in 23 states submitted entries in two design categories. Teams included students and faculty advisors from a variety of academic disciplines. Expert judges from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Landscape Engineers and the Water Environment Federation helped EPA evaluate the entries.
The University of Maryland at College Park, Queens College at the City University of New York and Georgetown University are also winners in other Campus RainWorks Challenge categories.
EPA plans to announce the fourth annual Campus RainWorks Challenge in the fall of 2015.
