In the face of rapid climate change, growing urbanization and ever‑stricter environmental requirements, sewer infrastructure plays a crucial role in keeping cities and regions functioning efficiently. Sewer networks that have been in service for decades often deteriorate, which affects their performance and, ultimately, residents’ quality of life. Rehabilitation of sewer networks restores the technical condition of existing infrastructure while avoiding the cost and time involved in building entirely new systems. In this article we outline why investing in sewer network rehabilitation is important from economic, environmental and social perspectives, and how Mido’s innovative gravity drilling rig technology is revolutionizing the process.
Why Does Sewer Infrastructure Need Rehabilitation?
Natural Aging
Sewer networks are subject to natural aging. Over time, pipes and other system components corrode and sustain mechanical damage, which reduces the overall efficiency of the system. Regular rehabilitation extends the service life of the infrastructure and helps prevent costly failures.
Increasing Technical and Environmental Requirements
Modern cities must meet new environmental standards and improve energy efficiency. Older sewer systems often fail to meet these requirements, which can lead to wastewater leaks, pollution and energy losses. Rehabilitation enables the adoption of modern technologies that not only improve system performance but also minimize environmental impact.
Ensuring Continuity of Urban Services
Sewer system failures can cause serious disruptions to city life — from limited access to essential services to public health risks. Upgrading the infrastructure ensures continuous operation of water and sewer services, which is vital for urban stability and residents’ comfort.
Benefits of Sewer Network Rehabilitation
Economic
- Lower Capital Costs: Rehabilitating an existing network requires less capital than constructing a new system from scratch, translating into significant savings.
- Operational Savings: Modern technologies increase network efficiency, reducing maintenance and operating costs.
- Avoiding Costly Failures: Regular upgrades reduce the risk of major breakdowns, helping avoid expensive repairs and service interruptions.
Environmental
- Protecting Ecosystems: By modernizing infrastructure we reduce the risk of leaks and contamination, helping protect groundwater and surface water bodies.
- Reduced Emissions and Energy Efficiency: Modern solutions enable better management of wastewater flows, leading to energy savings and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Lower Flood Risk: Rehabilitated infrastructure is more resilient to extreme weather, reducing the risk of flooding and damage from sudden heavy rainfall.
Social
- Improved Quality of Life for Residents: Modernized sewer networks provide stable, reliable municipal services, which directly enhances living conditions.
- Enhanced City Image: Investments in modern infrastructure improve a region’s reputation, attracting investors and visitors.
- Public Safety: A well‑functioning sewer system reduces health and safety risks for residents by limiting leaks and failures.
