Rusty Nezat (aka Guru of Poo Poo) has been the director of Nezat Training and Consulting, Inc. since 1999, supplying training and consulting services to contractors and municipalities across the country involved in wastewater collection system maintenance. Nezat Training and Consulting is a family-owned business that's been involved in collection systems for two generations. Our primary focus is on safety, sewer cleaning, and sewer cleaning equipment maintenance.
While providing evaluations of equipment and personnel operations and procedures is beneficial to municipal asset owners, Rusty really shines when he is performing classroom and field training of workers involved in sewer cleaning. During the course of his 30+ year tenure, Rusty has trained thousands of sewer cleaning operators throughout the nation resulting in increased productivity, reduction of equipment downtime and increased safety awareness.
"Being a second generation sewer cleaner, I began at the young age of thirteen and I am still at it 50 years later. Having spent my entire adult life involved in various aspects of sewer cleaning, I been afforded amazing learning opportunities. During my employment years ago with the Texas-based Insituform Technology group I found myself responsible for a large fleet of sewer cleaning equipment and associated personnel. During this time I was exposed to the Deming Theory of the Continuous Improvement Process. This new understanding changed the way I conducted my responsibilities. I was never satisfied with the status quo ever again.
I began to do extensive research into cleaning methodologies and nozzle functions. Through this research I came to a true understanding of the Step Cleaning Method; which was due in large part to identifying the carrying capacities of different nozzles. After modifying the equipment, adding better nozzles, and training the operators in the new methodology, our daily production rates doubled.
After leaving Insituform in 1991, Nezat and Associates was created and incorporated, then began providing services to municipalities across the country. In 1999, our name was changed to Nezat Training and Consulting, Inc. at the urging of our owner, who is my wife. Over the years I have developed specialty cleaning nozzles for the industry and have been awarded several US Patents for sewer cleaning devices and processes. However, our main goal is to take the best operating techniques and bring them to the public sector. Our hope is to help better equip municipalities with information and training that can lower their costs, increase production rates, and increase safety awareness."
