Use Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections

The Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help conduct routine catch basin and outlet inspections, understand asset conditions, record inspections in the field, and ensure that the entire organization has access to inspection information.

In this topic, you will learn how to use the solution by assuming the role of a user and performing the following workflows.

Note:

Use your organization's data or configured apps to follow these workflows.

Perform inspections

Catch basins and outlets are critical assets in a stormwater system. Routine inspection and maintenance of these assets are necessary to assess their condition and to comply with regulatory mandates.

Perform an outlet inspection in the field

Mobile workers routinely inspect catch basins and outlets to ensure that they are working properly to allow stormwater to flow as the system was designed, to provide a record of their inspections, and to inform maintenance needs.

In this workflow, you will assume the role of a mobile worker who has been assigned the task of inspecting an outlet in the field.

1. Download ArcGIS Field Maps onto your mobile device.
2. Open ArcGIS Field Maps and sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
3. Open the Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections Field Editor map.
4. Tap the outlet on the map which is being inspected.

Perform catch basin inspection in the web

Stormwater managers may have historic records of inspections. Adding historic records of inspections can help stormwater managers understand past inspection patterns and asset conditions.
