WinCan Mobile Manhole Inspection App Expedites Data Collection

[fa icon="calendar'] Aug 15, 2023 2:53:58 PM / by WinCan

Manhole inspections pose complex challenges for inspection crews and maintenance planners. Not only do they require different camera equipment than pipelines, but manhole inspections also have different data collection needs including multi-level inspection procedures.  

WinCan Mobile is a sewer inspection application for smart devices that helps collect, organize and share manhole inspection data. It allows operators to quickly record asset dimensions, material, construction, system information and much more. This data is tied to a geographical location, which allows users to transfer data into GIS software and support planning via asset management integrations like Trimble’s Cityworks or CentralSquare EAM.

You can also snap photos of the asset’s condition, making it easy to identify key defects and determine future maintenance. When inspections are complete, the project syncs back up to WinCan Web, where it can be processed and reviewed.

Patching Your Data Pipeline: Physical Paper vs Sewer Software

[fa icon="calendar'] Jan 12, 2023 8:00:00 AM / by WinCan

There are lots of opportunities for important sewer data to fall through the cracks in the journey from collection to analysis. If data is stored, transferred and shared in physical formats such as paper, it is at greater risk of loss than data stored in secure, digital environments. Digital data storage offers much more reliable containers for sewer data than physical methods. Not to mention, inspection software with NASSCO-certified coding modules helps ensure outgoing data aligns with the proper condition assessment standard.
