The PipeInventory module allows agencies to document their pipe assets, along with network information and the general location of the pipes. Users can also document pipe attributes, elevations, and inspections, and view the Work Orders associated with each Pipe.
The records in this module are important because many of the other Sewer Inventory assets are dependent on their connections to a Pipe. Other Sewer Inventory assets are linked to a Pipe through the Upstream and Downstream Structures associated with that Pipe.
