A method and device for controlling EM radiation from an exposed manhole around roadways. A remote field unit controller is disposed under a manhole cover proximal to a roadway, with a sensor attached to either the manhole cover, a manhole, or the remote field unit controller, providing information of at least one of a position, acceleration, direction of the manhole cover. An EM transmitter/receiver and EM emitter/absorber are disposed under the manhole cover and an EM controller communicates to the EM transmitter. When the sensor detects sufficient movement of the manhole cover, a signal is sent to the remote field unit controller to at least one of suppress, alter, and turn off EM emissions from the EM transmitter so as to prevent EM radiation from entering the roadway. The EM transmitter is at least one of a lidar, infrared, EM, and time-of-flight emitter or sensor.

During rehabilitation of a pipe system, such as one or more pipes of a sewer pipe system, a cleanout provides access the pipe system. The cleanout is used to plug an upstream portion of the pipe system and to allow for access to monitor the rehabilitation of the system, which may utilize CIPP repair. The plug includes a flow-through portion to allow for the removal of sewage in the blocked or plugged pipe, which allows for the continued use of the sewage system via a house, residence, or other structure connected to the sewer pipe system. An alert can be used as well to allow for the selective removal of sewage via the flow through plug and an associated removal pipe.

A skimmer for use in a manhole includes a frame and cladding. The frame includes an adjustable arc having an adjustable overall length and including an arced member, a first side member and a second side member. The arced member has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and defining a curve therebetween. The first side member is slidably adjustable relative to a first end of the arced member and selectively coupled thereto in one of a plurality of predefined first side member positions. The second side member is slidably adjustable relative to a second end of the arced member and selectively couplable thereto in one of a plurality of predefined second side member positions. The cladding covers a substantially entirety of one side of the frame.

A drain system for water quality. The drain system may include one or more baffles. The one or more baffles may be arcuate in shape. The one or more baffles may include one or more openings therethrough. The one or more baffles may be offset in elevation. The one or more baffles may include one or more flanges projecting therefrom. The one or more baffles may be implemented in a flow-through manhole application.
