Introduction
Leaking pipes, pipe joints, and mainline/lateral connections can be damaging and costly.
Infiltration of groundwater into sanitary sewers unnecessarily increases the quantity of
sewage that must be handled at treatment facilities. Exfiltration of sewage from the pipe can
lead to contamination of groundwater. Therefore, eliminating leaks helps protect groundwater
resources, reduces treatment costs, and extends the life of treatment facilities. The Water
Infiltration Reference Table shows the impact even small leaks have on amount of flow
through the pipe. These flows are conservative and based on a groundwater head of only one
foot over the pipe.

Introduction (cont’d)
Locating pipeline groundwater infiltration and pipeline exfiltration involves using a packer to
first pressure test pipe cracks, pipe joints and mainline/lateral connections to determine
if/where cracks or breaks are present. When located, the leaks are stopped by injecting a
chemical soil sealing grout that stabilizes the soil and fills voids outside of pipe and stops
ground water flow through the soil.
Grout Materials
Grout begins its sealing process as two separate liquid chemicals. Each chemical is pumped
through a hose and packer to leaking cracks and pipe joints. Here they flow through the
cracks or joints, into the surrounding soil where they combine with each other and the soil to
form a gel.
The gelled mass forms a waterproof collar around leaking pipes. Infiltration and exfiltration
cannot penetrate the mass. This watertight collar adheres to the outer surface of a pipe and
stays there unless removed by excavation.
Aries equipment operates with all commonly used grouting materials. Refer to grout chemical
manufacturer recommendations for proper handling and mixing procedures.
Sewer TV, Test and Seal Truck
Test and seal procedures are performed from a sewer TV inspection truck equipped with
remote pressure test and seal equipment. The truck contains all of the equipment necessary
to inspect and test pipes, mix and inject grout, and clean and store materials.
Truck test and seal equipment is grouped into four major systems with associated subsystems:
1. Electrical

Safety
Worker safety during grouting is the primary concern. Secondary safety concerns are for the
protection of the environment and grouting equipment.
When grouting:
1. Do not operate any grout equipment without proper training and experience
2. Read and understand all relevant equipment manuals
3. Use the appropriate safety equipment and clothing - goggles, gloves, boots,
masks/respirators, traffic signs/cones, etc.
4. Follow all appropriate laws, regulations, and guidelines

General Information
The ARIES Joint Test and Seal System is used to test the watertight
integrity of clean structurally sound pipelines and line joints.
Each sewer line section or joint is isolated using an inflatable test

device called a packer. Air is injected at a controlled pressure into the
isolated area and then shut off. A pressure transducer measures the
isolated area pressure over a set time period. If the pressure remains
constant or there is only a small pressure drop, the line or joint is
considered good. If the isolated area cannot hold the air pressure, it
is considered a failure and sealing chemical grout is injected into the
isolated area.
Packers
The ARIES system operates with all standard main line and lateral grout packers for six
inch and larger lines. Aries systems are supplied with LOGIBALL brand packers. The
descriptions and diagrams that follow are based on these packers.
Remote Pressure Sensing System

A packer is equipped with a void pressure sensing transducer. Any void pressure
change is transmitted electronically to an LED readout on the control panel and is
shown on the TV screen.
The control panel is equipped with a timer system so that void

pressure changes can be monitored for a selected time period. The
sensing system allows constant monitoring of void pressure during air
pressure testing and chemical injection sealing.
Pressure
The transducer cable is independent of the transducer. If damaged, a
Transducer
cable can be removed and replaced without replacing a transducer.

Pressure Sensing
A closed pressure sensing system detects void pressure. A rubber diaphragm pressure
sensing chamber filled with ethylene glycol senses void pressure and transmits the
pressure to a pressure transducer mounted inside the packer flow-thru cavity.
This closed sensing system protects the transducer from damage or clogs from sealing
chemicals. Transducer location inside the packer provides mechanical protection.

If a pressure test confirms a failure, sealing chemical grout is pumped into the void.
Sealing chemicals flow through a pipe joint or crack and into the soil around the sewer

out of a pipeline.

The center area of the packer also inflates partially when the end elements are
inflated. This reduces the void volume and the amount of chemical materials needed to
seal the pipe. This also reduces significantly the build-up of a "donut" or ring of
residual grout at the failed area which can restrict sewer line flow. The Aries grout
control panel (see Section 2) is also configured to control packers with a separately
inflatable center section sleeve or lateral packer element.
After grout hardens, the area is pressure tested again to verify sewer joint and grout
integrity.
Caution: On rare occasions an inflatable test/seal packer can cause additional

damage to a pipe already cracked or broken.

Introduction
The Joint Test and Seal System allows an operator to perform and monitor all test and seal
functions throughout a pressure test and grout cycle. The Joint Test and Seal Control Panel is
an integrated modular panel installed in the control room.
The control panel provides the necessary controls for the following:
1. regulation of the inflation time and pressures of the packer
2. regulation of the joint air tests
3. chemical injection sealing pump control
4. packer void operating pressure monitoring during joint test and seal.
No chemicals flow through the control panel. A chemical flow pick-up device, at the chemical
pumps in the equipment room, registers and reports flow volume to the Control Panel.
Following are explanations of each Control Panel control and indicator for the Joint Test and
Seal System.

Systems
Rapid Inflate/Deflate Systems (12/13)

Rapid inflation and deflation of packer end elements is necessary to shorten the testing
and sealing cycle time and increase production.
The Rapid Inflate system seats packer end elements against pipe walls as quickly as
possible. The system supercharges the end element inflation hose(s) with high pressure
air for a short time before System inflation pressure resumes to seat the elements. A
Rapid Inflate timer controls the duration of the supercharged air burst to the end
elements. The timer is necessary to adjust the air burst for different size packers, lines,
and wall conditions.
A deflation system is supplied to relieve the pressure rapidly in the packer end elements
after a test or grouting operation is complete.
Joint Test and Seal

Void Control Pressure Measurement/Display (4)

The Void Control pressure signal is transmitted to the panel by an electrical signal from a
pressure transducer mounted on the packer.
Aries uses LOGIBALL packers with a sensor diaphragm. The diaphragm is a filled fluid
system that protects the transducer against plugging by grout chemicals. The exterior of
the diaphragm is in contact with the air, sewer water and chemical grouts in the packer
void. The back side of the diaphragm is a closed chamber connected to a transducer.
This chamber is filled with an inert fluid (ethylene glycol-antifreeze). Pressures sensed by
the diaphragm are carried by the fluid to the transducer and are then electrically
transmitted to the panel and displayed on the Void pressure LED readout. The pressure
signal is also placed in the video signal and appears on the monitor and VCR recording.
Gallons Pumped Measurement/Display (21)

Aries uses a very accurate pulse totalizer to measure and display grout chemical
consumption. The LED totalizer readout can be calibrated for English or metric volume.
The totalizer pulse signal is generated at the chemical pumps and no chemicals flow
through the control panel.
Control Panel Installation/Removal

The control panel unit measures 15" wide x 28" high x 12.5" deep. It is a modular unit. It
can be easily removed and installed. All instrument and air connections have quick
disconnects.

Introduction
The ARIES Joint Test and Seal System is used to test sewer pipelines and joints for leaks
caused by cracks or joint gasket failure. If leaks are found, the system can seal them by
injecting grout. Grout is a combination of two substances, grout and a catalyst. When they are
combined, the catalyst causes the grout to "set-up" and harden. The amount of time it takes
grout to set-up is determined by the amount of catalyst mixed with the grout.
An operator performs joint tests and seal operations from a Control Panel. The panel is
divided into two basic sections. The top section controls all of the air/pneumatic functions and
the bottom controls the fluid/grout pump functions. Section Three discusses how the controls
on the panel function and presents pipeline sealing options available from the panel.

Air Pressure Supply and Control Section (Upper Part of Panel)
General Information
The Packer and its components use compressed air during test and seal operations. A
compressor supplies air for packer end elements, void, sleeve, and center element. The
upper control panel section (refer to pages 2-2 to 2-5) has gauges and dials to display and
control air pressure for various components, buttons to control packer activities, and digital
meters to display and control packer void pressure and timing of test and seal functions. A
simplified schematic of the panel is shown below:

Air System Schematic
Air Supply
The Air Supply gauge displays the system air pressure which will vary between
80 and 100 psi. The compressor will automatically cycle on and off, turning on
when the pressure drops to 80 psi and off when it reaches 100 psi.
System Pressure
The System Pressure regulator controls the pressure from the air supply to the
other four circuits on the panel. The regulator is normally set between
70 and 80 psi. The regulator setting is displayed on the System Pressure gauge
beneath the regulator.
Joint Test and Seal
®
End Element
This gauge displays the maximum pressure of the air delivered to the packer
end elements. This is usually set between 30 and 45 psi (refer to packer
manufacturer’s recommendations) using the Air Regulator above the gauge.
Void Control
The Void Control gauge displays the maximum air pressure that will be applied
to the packer void when a pipe or joint is being tested. Set to 15 psi with the Air
Regulator above the gauge.
NOTE: Do not over pressurize the void area. Pipes and joints can
crack or break if too much pressure is applied.
Sleeve
The Sleeve gauge displays the air pressure to the sleeve when using a three
element packer for low void operation. Alternately, it displays the air pressure to
the lateral plug when a lateral packer is used. Usually set at 15 to 20 psi (refer
to packer or lateral plug manufacturer’s recommendations) using the Air
Regulator above the gauge.
End Hose
This gauge displays the air pressure in the end element inflation hose.
Test/Sleeve Hose
The Test/Sleeve Hose gauge displays the air pressure in the Test/Sleeve inflation
hose.
Void Pressure
This readout shows the pressure in the packer void as detected and transmitted by the
pressure transducer in the packer. Zero the readout before a test cycle is started by
pressing the Zero button immediately to the left.
Timer
The Timer is a digital stop watch for measuring the elapsed time of the pressure test
and grout gel intervals. Sequential presses of the button to the left of the readout will
start, stop, and reset the Timer.
Air Regulators
Air Regulators, located above the System, End Element, Void Control, and
Sleeve gauges adjust the air pressure to those components. To adjust
pressures pull the regulator handle out and turn it clockwise to increase or
counterclockwise to decrease air flow pressure.
Joint Test and Seal

Rapid Inflate
When the Rapid Inflate button (#13, page 2-4) is pressed, System Pressure is
applied to the end elements for the interval of time set on the Rapid Inflate
Timer. This feature increases production by reducing the initial time required to
inflate the packer against a pipe wall. Timer setting will vary depending on pipe
and packer size. Be careful not to overinflate. After the Rapid Inflate cycle times
out, inflation automatically continues until the pressure set on the End Pressure
Regulator is reached. This seats the packer end elements against the pipe wall.

Test Inflate
This button (#15, page 2-4) activates the Test Inflate circuit to supply pressurized air
to the packer void to test a joint or crack. Air flow continues as long as the button is
pressed or until the pressure set on the Void Control regulator is reached. As
pressure increases, readings on the Test/Sleeve Hose gauge and the Void Pressure
digital readout will increase accordingly.
Test Hold
After the packer void is pressurized by the Test Inflate circuit, this button
(#16, page 2-4) is pressed to initiate the test. Air flow to the void is stopped and the
void is isolated from the air hose. The hose is vented and the reading on the
Test/Sleeve Hose gauge will drop to zero while the Void Pressure digital readout
continues to read the packer void pressure.
When Test Hold is pressed, the Timer should be simultaneously activated by the
operator to begin the test interval.
Results
If the joint or crack passes the air test, the Packer is deflated by pressing the
Deflate/Stop button and the Packer is moved to the next test location.
If the joint or crack fails the air test, the Packer end elements remain in their inflated
state and grout chemicals are injected to seal the leak. Controls for injecting chemicals
are located on the bottom portion of the panel.
Grout Pump Section (Bottom Part of Panel)

Introduction
Grout and catalyst are each stored in separate tanks. A red tank holds grout and a blue
tank holds catalyst. Grout and catalyst are moved to the pipe/joint problem area with
double acting piston pumps. Discharge from each pump is controlled by a relief valve
that recycles back into the pump to avoid overpressurizing the system. The relief valve
operating pressure is set at the factory to 150 psi on both pumps. Red and blue pump
pressures and gauges are described below.

Blue and Red Pump Pressures and Gauges
Normal pump discharge pressure ranges from 25 to 75 psi, depending on grout
composition and groundwater back pressure. Pump pressure is displayed on the Blue
Pump and Red Pump discharge pressure gauges located on the control panel.
Gallons Pumped Meter

The Gallons Pumped meter displays a combination of flow for both the blue
and red pumps. Use this display to keep track of the total amount of grout
pumped into a line or pumped into each joint or crack area. Reset the meter to
read zero with the Zero button after noting the amount used.

Grout Pump Meters and Controls
Water Tank Indicator Lamps

These lamps warn the operator to monitor the level in the water tank. When water
level reaches one-half full, the green lamp illuminates. The red lamp illuminates when
the level falls below one-eighth full.
Pump Power (switch and lamp)
The Pump Power switch is the pump on/off switch. The “up” position turns the pump
on. The red light next to the switch will illuminate when the pump is on. The “down “
position turns the pump off.
Pump Speed Control
This control turns the chemical pump on/off and is also a pumping rate (speed)
adjustment. Turn fully counterclockwise for the off position. Turn clockwise to activate
and increase pump speed.
AC Power (switch and lamp)
Controls AC power supply to the panel. Lamp is on when panel AC power is on.
DC Power (switch and lamp)

Controls DC power supply to the panel. Lamp is on when panel DC power is on.
+12 VDC and +20 VDC Test Jacks

These are used for trouble shooting the DC power functions of the panel. Use a
multi-meter and these jacks to confirm correct panel electrical performance. Positive
probe is inserted into the jack and negative probe is touched to system ground.

Packer Operation
Air Testing and Grouting of Pipe Joints and Cracks
The following procedures must be followed for air testing and grouting pipe joints and cracks.
1. Position the packer over the sewer pipe joint or crack area to be tested using visual
sight from TV camera. This will take some practice. Use the correct tow cable length
for each packer size. See chart on page 4-6.
2. Press Rapid Inflate button on panel. Rapid Inflate

End elements will rapidly inflate with Timer
System air pressure to the time set
on Rapid Inflate Timer and then
automatically finish inflating to
pressure set on end element
pressure regulator. Initial timer
setting can be estimated with time in
seconds equal to pipe diameter in
inches, i.e., for 8” pipe use 8
seconds, etc. At any time the
operator can push Standard Inflate
and stop the Rapid Inflate function.
ALTERNATELY
3. Press Standard Inflate button. End elements will inflate to pressure set on End
Element pressure regulator.
Either method inflates packer to form a seal on both sides of joint.

4. Push Air Test button.

If joint is tight, the
void pressure will
increase to test level.
Press Test Hold
button and pressure
rise will slow and
stop at or above test
level. Start Timer.
Hold test for 15
seconds and note
pressure drop.
Allowable drop will
be stated in
municipal grouting
contract or NASSCO
standards.
5. If joint passes pressure test, push red Deflate/Stop button and allow packer ends
to deflate. DO NOT PULL PACKER until ends are deflated.
6. Move to next
joint and repeat
steps 1
through 4.
7. If joint does
not pass
pressure test,
leave end
elements
inflated and
start grout
pump using a
rate of about
four gallons per
minute. Start
pump(s) by
turning Pump Power switch on. Vary pumping rate by adjusting Pump
Speed Control. Estimate flow rate by monitoring the Gallons Pumped meter.

Air Testing and Grouting of Pipe Joints and Cracks (cont’d)
8. As grout flows into the void

and out into the soil, the
void pressure readout will
slowly rise from one to
three psi and upward until
the grout starts to gel.
When gelling, the pressure
will shoot up rapidly to
between 10 and 20 psi
within a one to five second
period. The pump must
then be stopped. This
process is called grouting
to refusal. Allow 40 to 60
seconds to cure gel.
9. After curing, relax packer ends by pushing the red Stop button. This releases end
element air and the packer separates from the sewer line wall.
10. Reinflate end elements and re-test with air or grout, pressurizing the grouted area
to test pressure level and holding for a fixed period of time.
11. If joint fails test, regrout per steps 7 through 10.
12. Move through the sewer line and test every joint. Grout as needed.

Packer Operation
Operation of Lateral Packer
A lateral packer is operated from an auxiliary Lateral Control Panel. The Lateral Panel
provides necessary additional controls and functions to operate the lateral packer. Lateral
Panel controls are used in conjunction with controls on the Grout Panel to operate the lateral
packer.
A Lateral Control Panel uses the Sleeve Inflate circuit from the Main Control Panel for
operation. At the time the Lateral Control Panel is installed, the Sleeve Inflate button
(#17, page 2-4) is bypassed and air is supplied to the Lateral Panel Air Pressure/Test port
continuously at the pressure set on the Sleeve Pressure Regulator (#5, page 2-4) on the
Main Panel. All air to inflate, or vacuum to retract, the Lateral Plug is therefore controlled only
by the Air/Vacuum control valve (#7, page 5-5) on the Lateral Control Panel.

EPA Reports on U.S. Water Quality Conditions Events
Recent water quality data provided this week by the Publications

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finds Web Links
that more than 291,000 miles of the nations'
assessed rivers and streams fail to meet water
quality standards. The National Water Quality
Inventory is the twelfth biennial report to Congress
prepared under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water
Act- About 32 percent of U.S. waters were assessed
for the national inventory. The report contains
information from each state on the quality of our
nation's rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, coastal
waters, and ground water, along with information on
public health and aquatic life concerns. Across all
types of waterbodies, states, territories, tribes and
other jurisdictions report that poor water quality
affects aquatic life, fish consumption, swimming, and
drinking water. In 1998, about 40 percent of U.S.
streams, lakes and estuaries that were assessed
were not clean enough to support uses such as
fishing and swimming. Leading pollutants in impaired
waters include siltation, bacteria, nutrients and
metals. Runoff from agricultural lands and urban
areas are the primary sources of these pollutants,
according to the report. The inventory is available at
www.epa.gov/305b or by calling (800) 490-9198.

TMDL Cost Estimates Are Flawed, GAO States
The baseline assumptions EPA used to estimate the

costs of its proposed revisions to the national total
maximum daily load (TMDL) program distort the
conclusions of the agency's analysis, the General
Accounting Office (GAO) reported June 21, The
estimates are based in part on the assumption that
existing TMDL programs in many states would need
merely to be adjusted to meet the proposed
revisions. In Clean Water Act: Proposed Revisions to
EPA Regulations to Clean Up Polluted Waters
(GAO/RCED-00-206R), GAO suggests that existing
problems with state TMDL programs will continue,
thereby raising the costs of the proposed revisions

as states struggle to comply with the program, the

GAO report is available at
www.gao.gov/new.items/rc00233t.pdf. Also this
week, House provisions blocking EPA from finalizing
or implementing the TMDL rules was included in a
conference report. If some remaining unrelated
issues can be resolved, the conference report could
pass both the House and the Senate in days. EPA is
said to be encouraging supporters of the TMDL
revisions to contact their national-level legislators.

growth and sustainability of local watershed
partnerships in the United States. This year, grant
awards will range from $1,500 to $30,000. Grants
will be made to local watershed partnerships. Grant
awards may be made directly to incorporated
watershed partnerships. If the watershed partnership
is not incorporated, the grant recipient may be a
nonprofit group, tribe and/or local government, or
agency that is an active participant in the watershed

Quote of the Week
"The potential [of the Internet for governments] is

enormous, but governments will need committed
leadership, a full understanding of e-business
principles and a clear strategy for overcoming the
barriers to change: the departmental rivalries, the
hostility of unions, the fears of individuals and the
sheer size of the thing. For once, the technology -
although crucial to making it all possible - is the least
of the worries." - Matthew Symonds, The
Economist, June 24, 2000.

New Equipment, Industry Commitment Spurs
EPA Withdrawal of Proposed Acrylamide Ban
Due to the development of equipment that can protect workers, the Environmental Protection
Agency is withdrawing a proposed rule that would have banned certain grouts used primarily in
sewer repairs.
In a notice to be published Dec. 2, EPA is announcing withdrawal of a 1991 proposed rule that
would have banned grouts containing acrylamide and the acrylamide derivative N-
methyloacrylamide (NMA). Use of NMA would have been phased out over a three-year period
(56 Fed, Reg. 49,863).
Grouts made from acrylamide and NMA are primarily used to repair sewer lines and seal
manholes, EPA said in the withdrawal notice. Sealing cracks and holes limits the infiltration of
rainwater, runoff and groundwater into sewers, reducing the demand on sewage treatment
capacity and wastewater treatment cost, the agency said.
Although EPA acknowledged in 1991 that acrylamide and NMA-grouts were effective and
cheaper than alternatives, the agency said the ban was warranted by human evidence that showed
acrylamide caused nervous system effects such as muscle weakness, drowsiness, and tremors.
Information from laboratory animal and other studies showed that acrylamide also was a
probable human carcinogen, EPA said. Scientific data showed that NMA would likely cause
similar problems, the agency added.
Personal protective equipment did not sufficiently protect workers, EPA said at the time,
pointing to research the agency conducted that found excessive dermal exposure despite workers'
use of coveralls and gloves. Workers also could breathe in acrylamide at levels that exceeded the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration's permissible exposure limit, EPA said.
Protection of human health was the sole basis of the rule EPA proposed under the authorities of
sections 6(a) and 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act.
In 2000, EPA voluntarily withdrew a draft final rule from White House Office of Management
and Budget review because of concerns OMB had, along with new industry-generated data that
showed workers had incurred no significant exposure (208 DEN A-8, 10/26/00).
New Equipment Works, EPA Says

Grout Information
Subsequent information showed that effective and affordable equipment that can protect workers
is now available, EPA said in the Dec. 2 withdrawal notice.
The types of equipment now available include Tychem® SL, a nonporous, chemical-resistant
fabric, and 15-millimeter thick nitrile gloves, EPA said. A combination of such material would
effectively prevent acrylamide exposure for eight hours and be an effective barrier to NMA
exposure, EPA said.
However, EPA said, based on a telephone survey it conducted in 2001, such equipment was not
in general use by grouting workers.
EPA discussed those results with the National Association of Sewer Service Companies and
Avanti International Inc., the sole U.S. supplier of acrylamide and NMA grouts.
Following that meeting, EPA said Avanti revised its Safe Operating Practices Program manual to
urge workers to wear Tychem® SL suits, chemical resistant boots, gloves that block dermal
exposure to acrylamide, and full-face respirators. The new manual also describes procedures
workers should follow when handling grout, and Avanti has developed a training program to
show workers how to safely handle and mix the grouts, EPA said,
Industry Commitment Praised
The sewerage association told EPA that the recommendations contained in Avanti's manual will
be adopted as standard operating procedures for the industry, EPA's withdrawal notice said.
John Bowser, who is managing EPA's acrylamide activities, told BNA Nov. 29; "We will keep
an eye on them." But, he said EPA thinks Avanti and the sewer service association will fulfill
their promised actions to ensure workers understand the risks these agents pose, and know how
to prevent them.
In its withdrawal notice, EPA praised the voluntary commitments industry has made and said it
thinks those actions will protect workers sufficiently making it unnecessary to promulgate the
proposed rule.
"We're happy that we were able to come up with a solution that satisfies our goal of protecting
workers and allows a useful product to remain on the market," Bowser said. "This is the kind of
solution we like."
Lynn Bergeson, an attorney with Bergeson and Campbell, which represents the sewer service
association, told BNA that the association and Avanti are providing extensive information and
training so that worker protection will exceed EPA's expectations.
