Use Sewer Manhole Inspections

The Sewer Manhole Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help utilities conduct routine manhole inspections, understand manhole conditions, record manhole inspections in the field, and ensure 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.

Perform manhole inspections in the field

Manholes are one of the most common assets found in the sewer system and the routine review and maintenance of these assets can reduce possible system failure and the associated cost. In order to keep these assets in good condition it is important to have a clear maintenance record. Field staff and engineers routinely inspect manholes to ensure they are working properly to prevent overflows or other issues from arising.

In this workflow, you will assume the role of a mobile worker who has been assigned the task of inspecting manholes 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 Sewer Manhole Inspections Field Editor map.
4. Tap the manhole on the map which is being inspected.

   A pop-up appears showing manhole attribute details.

5. On the bottom, click on the related records button. Alternatively, scroll down in the pop -up to the RELATED section and click the related records icon.
6. Click Add.
7. Complete the inspection form as appropriate.
8. When you are finished, at the upper right, tap the check mark or Submit.

   Note:

   Your interface may vary depending on the type of mobile device that you use.

9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 to conduct additional inspections.

Perform manhole inspection in the web

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

In this workflow, you will assume the role of an operations manager who has information about an inspection done in the past on a manhole that needs to be added to the system.

1. In a browser, sign in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the Sewer Manhole Inspections Center app.
2. From the item page, click View.
3. Find the manhole. Use the Search bar to identify by asset ID or an address in the area. Optionally, zoom and pan around the map.
4. On the left panel, click the Edit asset/Add inspection tab.
5. Under Edit features, click the Select button.
6. Click on the manhole in the map.
7. In the pop-up, under Manhole Inspection, click Add record.
8. Complete the Manhole Inspection form and click Create.

Monitor inspections

Monitoring the progress of inspections allows staff to evaluate the best use of resources for their organization and provide the most reliability to their customers.

In this workflow, you will assume the role of an operations manager who wants to evaluate the current progress of manhole inspections.

1. In a browser, sign in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the Sewer Manhole Inspections Center app.
2. From the item page, click View.
3. Click the Sewer Manhole Inspections Dashboard tab.
4. Explore information about inspections.
5. On the left, in the filter panel, use filters to explore Inspected dates, who conducted the inspection, and the asset's overall condition.
6. To view the details of an inspection, click on an inspection in the Inspections (newest first) table.

   Inspection details will be visible below and the map will zoom and pan to the appropriate asset.

7. On the map, on the top right, click More tools to expand the list.
