  • Patent number: 11851868
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9752600
    Abstract: An energy dissipator for use in a sumped manhole includes a sheet member. The sheet member defines a downstream surface, an upstream surface opposite the downstream surface, and opposing side edges each extending between the downstream surface and the upstream surface. The sheet member includes a plurality of apertures. Each of the plurality of apertures extends through both the downstream surface and the upstream surface. The sheet member extends in an arcuate manner between the opposing side edges. The dissipator is configured to intercept fluid flow within the manhole to decrease energy and control flow dynamics within the manhole.
