Deep cleaning is necessary before replacing the lining of sewer pipes. High-powered nozzles and chain cutters make pipe cleaning quick and efficient. Pipe lining has become a go-to solution for renewing aging sewer and storm lines without the disruption of open-cut excavation. By installing a new liner inside an existing pipe, crews can restore structural integrity, seal leaks, and extend service life while keeping streets, sidewalks, and landscapes largely untouched. But the success of that liner depends on what happens first. Liners are installed by inverting or pulling them into the host pipe and holding them tightly against the pipe wall with air or water pressure, while steam or hot water is used to cure the resin and form a new structural pipe within the existing one. However, blockages in the pipe formed by tree roots, hardened mineral scale, grease buildup, silt, and debris can interfere with this process. If a liner is installed over these obstructions, it cannot ...

By Luke Carothers  AEC marketing rarely fits into a single format anymore.  One firm may tell its story through drone footage and immersive digital campaigns, while another builds trust through newsletters, internal campaigns, or community events.  Some campaigns recruit talent.  Others strengthen client relationships, explain technical expertise, or elevate brand visibility.  That range is exactly what the Marketing Excellence Awards are designed to recognize.  The program celebrates the full spectrum of marketing across the AEC industry, from brand launches and integrated campaigns to video storytelling, websites, publications, and internal engagement efforts .  The strongest submissions show strategy, purpose, and a clear understanding of audience.  They demonstrate how marketing helps firms communicate complex ideas, strengthen culture, and build meaningful connections in a competitive industry.  AEC Marke...
