General Tab

Field Name

Description

Address

General Location

The address that the lateral provides sewer service to and a field to store general information about where the lateral is located. The system automatically populates these fields if address and general location data for the selected service lateral is stored in the Service Lateral Inventory module.

Inspection Date **

The date and time the inspection occurred.

Inspection Crew

The name or initials of the crew that performed the inspection.

Inspect Direction **

The direction in which the inspection was performed (from main to service or from service to main).

Inspection Type

The type of inspection performed (manual, TV, etc.)

Rim to Crown (ft)

The vertical distance (in feet) from the top of the structure to the top of the pipe.

Angled Rim/Inv (ft)

The angled or sloped distance from the top of the structure to the invert or flow line of the pipe.

Angled Offset (in)

The estimated horizontal distance from the center of the structure opening to the pipe invert where the angled-rim-to-invert measurement was taken.

Rim to Inv (ft)

If the rim-to-crown distance is greater than zero, the program adds the pipe diameter to the rim-to-crown distance. Or, if the angled-rim-to-invert distance is greater than zero, the program calculates the invert distance based on the angled rim to invert and offset distance using the Pythagorean theorem. The program will calculate this value when the user hits F5. Otherwise, the user can type in any value desired.

Structure Type

The type of structure located on the service lateral, if applicable. This field is stored in the Service Lateral Inventory table, but is viewable/editable through the Inspection module.

Struct Depth (ft)

The depth of the structure (in feet).

Struct Condition

The condition of the structure (e.g., broken, collapsed, etc.) as selected from a user-defined pick list.

Service Direction

The direction of the service lateral.

Flow Depth (in)

The total depth, in inches, of liquid and obstructions. Measured to the nearest quarter-inch (1/4).

Flow Velocity (fps)

The velocity of the flow at the time of the inspection (in feet per second).

Depos Depth (in)

The approximate depth (in inches) of the obstructions flowing/settling in the service lateral.

Deposition

The type of obstructions observed in the lateral during the inspection.

Cleaning

Recommendations for additional cleaning on the service line.

Maintenance Prior

Any maintenance performed prior to or during the inspection.
