What clients are saying about us and our solution
“Wardsville faced the same challenge that so many communities still face today: failing septic systems, no community water service and a constrained capital and operational budget. For just over half the estimated cost of a conventional big pipe system, Clearford provided a simple, cost-effective and environmentally sensible solution to our wastewater servicing requirements. We’ve seen conventional systems installed in other communities take almost twice as long to install and cost significantly more. The ability of Clearford to incorporate horizontal drilling with their SBS™ technology meant that there was comparatively no disruption to our community during construction. I like to compare our system’s installation to that of a heart operation… using the Clearford SBS™ was like opting for an angioplasty rather than open heart surgery. In these days of dwindling Federal and Provincial funding programs for municipal infrastructure, and the need to get value for every dollar spent, Clearford’s SBS™ system makes sense for municipalities.”
– Mayor Doug Reycraft, Municipality of Southwest Middlesex, Ontario, past President of AMO
“The SBS™ system removes the design constraints, preserves the ground water and allows purified water to be returned to the environment at a cost that will leave much of the budget for sewage collection and treatment to be applied to the community priorities.”
– Douglas J. Cardinal, Architect and Canadian Blackfoot, Douglas Cardinal Architect Inc.
“The SBS™ solution exceeded our expectations on many levels. It was by far the most practical and economical alternative available. It was installed with minimal disruption to our residents and our environment, and it has been operating very well for us to date. I believe that Clearford’s SBS™ technology is ideally suited for campground and mobile home park owners who are seeking to build, enhance or expand their wastewater systems.”
– Peter Cougler, President, Loon Lake Resort
“As part of our efforts to help our clients find new options for green infrastructure in eco-industrial parks, we were introduced to Clearford’s Small Bore Sewer™ system technology. Our independent evaluation included interviews with industrial operations connected to SBS™ systems in Ontario. Based on our investigations, we were able to recommend SBS™ to our client. As part of its public tender process, our client requested bids for both conventional sewer and SBS™ installation – and the SBS™ was then proven to be more cost-effective. We have also found Clearford staff to be very knowledgeable and professional. We believe SBS™ to be an exciting technology that could help many of our clients create new eco-industrial parks across the country.”
– Tracy Casavant MES, P. Eng, President, Eco-Industrial Solution Inc.
“I was a member of the Wardsville municipal council when the Clearford SBS™ was selected in 1989 as the most cost-effective and environmentally sensible solution to our wastewater servicing requirements – for half the estimated cost of a historic gravity sewer system. The Clearford system in fact services my own home and I think this solution makes sense – economically and environmentally – for municipalities throughout the province.”
– Marigay Wilkins, Councilor, Municipality of Southwest Middlesex, Ontario
“The quality and value of the Clearford system and project delivery depth and excellence of PCL enabled Touchstone to select what we believe to be an environmentally superior solution, with significant cost advantages.”
– John Davies, Executive Vice President, Touchstone
“Traditional full-size gravity sewer was considered by Council to be beyond the financial means of the municipality and your small bore system was chosen as an alternative because installation costs were lower, and weeping beds would still be eliminated. The SBS™ system has been in operation for over a year and is performing without any problems. I would recommend that this system be considered as an option any time sewers are required and constraints such as ours exist.”
– Barry Thrasher P. Eng, Public Works Director, Township of Cramahe, Ontario
“I and my team have worked with Clearford … and are confident that the Clearford solution will allow us to achieve an environmental outcome unequalled in India. The Clearford solution is very compelling with environmentally superior outcomes and a savings of 10% over the historic system cost.”
– Surendra Hiranandani, The Managing Director of LBPL
“We were in search of a cost effective and environmentally beneficial sanitation solution. The Clearford system will save us money, reduce our development risk and allow us to offer our homebuyers with an environmentally responsible solution.”
– Jean Pierre Fontanot, CEO, Grupo Altis Ltd., Lima, Peru
