Crown’s Element 82 Division Launches New Inspection Projects
Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN), a leading smart glass technology company and an expert in constructing fiber optic networks and lead pipe inspection and remediation, has announced that its recently formed division, Element 82 Inc., has been awarded new service projects.
New Projects in Florida and New York
Element 82 field crews will conduct water service line inspection to locate lead pipes as mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR). These projects will be executed as the exclusive subcontractor to Electro Scan Inc., the prime contractor for all efforts.
Commitment to Community Water Systems
David Kinsella, President of Element 82 Inc., expressed, "We are delighted to support community water systems to prepare accurate inventories of their water service lines using the Electro Scan SWORDFISH technology." The EPA requires that over 50,000 U.S. water agencies develop a detailed inventory of public and private water service lines delivering drinking water to various facilities.
Innovative Technology in Water Line Inspections
Traditionally, determining the material of water pipes connecting mains to households required significant excavation. Element 82 has adopted the Electro Scan SWORDFISH product using a machine-intelligent probe that identifies pipe materials through electrical resistance testing.
Current Operations in Medley, Florida
Field crews have begun work in Medley, an industrial community in northwest Miami-Dade County. The inspection approach uses SWORDFISH technology to test lines from the sidewalk or property line to the house without invasive excavations. Utilities Director Jorge C. Soto noted the importance of this technology for inspecting water services without the need for digging.
Projects Expanding into New York
Four projects are also underway in New York, including the cities of Batavia, Little Falls, Oneonta, and the Village of Warwick. In addition, the state recently introduced legislation requiring public water systems to make service line inventory information available to the public.
Homeowner Engagement and Scheduling
Element 82 is set to provide scheduling options for homeowners to facilitate the inspection process, considering that many water meters are located in basements across New York.
