ADVANCED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS INC. (ADS)
Advanced Drainage Systems Inc.’s (ADS) N-12 HP Corrugated Storm Pipe complies with recently published AASHTO MP21-11 standard for polypropylene pipe in surface and subsurface drainage applications. N-12 High Performance 12-inch through 60-inch dual- and triple-wall corrugated pipe meets or exceeds this new national specification. Both public and private specifying agencies rely on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for product specification standards, including pipe for use in transportation infrastructure projects. The N-12 HP adds to ADS’ broad line of product selection for stormwater projects. This product offers enhanced stiffness over traditional storm sewer products and provides increased longitudinal beam strength and superior chemical and abrasion resistance.

AIRMASTER AERATOR
A powerful new aerator, designed to provide maximum aeration while using only a fraction of the energy required by other models, has been introduced by Airmaster Aerator of DeRidder, LA. The patented new aerator—the Turbo X-Treme—is a high-efficiency, floating/surface aerator that is powered by an energy-saving, 25-hp motor. It incorporates a “turbo” blower to achieve high-capacity water movement with maximum aeration and mixing incorporated in a discharge manifold. Due to its efficient design and operation, the Turbo X-Treme has replaced aerators requiring up to three times the horsepower, resulting in substantial energy savings. In operation, the new aerator raises the dissolved oxygen level in the water (in ponds, lagoons, etc.) while providing high-capacity water movement.

AP/M PERMAFORM
AP/M’s new process for the structural renewal of culverts and sanitary sewer pipe—without backhoes, repaving, traffic detours, flooding, or hazardous construction—is called Centri-pipe, short for centrifugally cast concrete pipe. Corrugated metal, with its propensity to rust and buckle, has a design life of 20 to 30 years. Replacement options include digging and its unavoidable disruption, sliplining with its reduced capacity, or expensive cured-in-place liners. Without digging, liners, or reduction of capacity, and at significant savings, Centri-pipe creates a new, structurally sound concrete pipe inside the old one. The pipe is environmentally sound, waterproof, and fully sealed from end to end and provides highly effective corrosion protection that can double the life of the pipe.

BIO CLEAN ENVIRONMENTAL
The Bio Clean Downspout Filter is the industry’s leading solution for treatment of roof runoff. This technology is used to treat commercial and industrial rooftops, along with high-rise buildings, parking structures, and residential buildings. Available in three sizes, this filter can easily adapt to downspouts 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter. The sleek inline design allows the filter to be used in tight spaces and is available in select colors. With high treatment and bypass flow rates, it is used to meet NPDES Phase II stormwater requirements. Also, being approved by the IAPMO, this filter is an effective and feasible solution.

CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC
Campbell Scientific’s new OBS500 Dual Turbidity Probe with Antifouling combines a backscatter sensor (better at measuring high turbidity) with a second sidescatter sensor (better at measuring lower turbidity) and multiple antifouling methods to provide accurate measurements in biologically active water. It uses the CleanSensor Antifouling Method (patent pending) to ensure the accuracy of its measurements.
This method incorporates a shutter/wiper mechanism and biocide combination into one unit—the first in the industry to do so.

CULTEC INC.
The Recharger 900HD is a 48-inch (1,219-mm)-tall, ultra-high-capacity chamber that offers a bare chamber storage of 17.62 ft3/ft (1.637 m3/m). Its system typically requires fewer chambers resulting in a smaller footprint and less labor. This allows for additional site development that may be limited by other stormwater management options. The ultra-high-capacity chamber is optimal for replacing large-diameter pipe, stacked, or crate systems.

DRIPS LLC
The Big Bags USA system is the fastest deployed flood barrier. The system has proven to be a very effective coffer dam tool. Garney Construction, based in Littleton, CO, used it for a rock retaining wall job. The systems can be filled then lowered into place with a crane or large backhoe. Once the barrier is built, pump out the water and go to work.

J. W. FAIRCLOTH & SON INC.
Faircloth Skimmer surface drains float on the surface of the sediment basin as it fills and drains, releasing the cleanest water from the surface instead of draining muddy water from the bottom as conventional outlets do. The skimmer drains the basin slowly over several days at a constant rate to maximize settling. The adjustable orifice regulates the filling and drawdown of the basin and improves efficiency.

OTTERBINE BAREBO INC.
Otterbine’s Omega is the 11th pattern to their 1 HP–5 HP Aerating Fountain line. The pattern, originally developed through collaboration with one of Otterbine’s distributors, incorporates eight nozzles to create a simple-yet-classic “arch”-styled pattern. Producing spray dimensions as tall as 18 feet (3.5 m) and as wide as 22 feet (5 m), the uniformity of the pattern creates a striking display. Combining the convenience of a floating fountain system with the intricacy of an architectural fountain, the Omega is sure to please even the most discriminating onlooker—at a fraction of the cost. The Omega offers the same features, options, and amenities as the rest of the Aerating Fountain line.
