Bloomington, IN designs water main break splash solution

Making work easier and more efficient for CBU crews

A T&D laborer, Jerry Waldridge, engineered an implement using everyday materials to effectively and simply minimize unwanted splashing and prevent erosion in the workspaces. The invention consists of a broomstick with a piece of tire at the end of it. The device allows one worker to stay on the surface and hold the broomstick while the attached tire segment follows the curve of the pipe and contains the splash, allowing the workers in the trench to fix the break with minimal splash.
