Tech tools revolutionising manhole inspections

Tools that are revolutionising manhole inspections will be on display at an Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) event later this month.

The IPWEA is hosting its annual International Asset Management Congress in Canberra on November 28-29.

The event will bring together international thought leaders and practitioners to engage attendees in the advancement of asset management practice locally and globally.

WinCan Managing Director Martin Hein is among the speakers at the upcoming IPWEA Congress.

There he will speak about optimising the wastewater data cycle and strategies for efficient management and analysis.

This will involve highlighting SECA’s cutting-edge technology, specifically the Quickview 360 camera and its seamless integration with the WinCan suite of asset management software.

Together, these tools revolutionise manhole inspections by providing rapid, precise, and actionable data in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

This is particularly relevant to urban infrastructure maintenance and inspection, where time efficiency and accuracy are critical.

The Quickview 360 is an automated manhole inspection camera that allows operators to inspect more manholes, drastically improving inspection times.

Key features include 4K panoramic video, AI-driven coding, and 3D modelling capabilities, making it a powerful tool for manhole condition assessment.

The system is equipped with a rechargeable battery, 360° LED lighting, and a laser rangefinder for enhanced precision.

The camera seamlessly integrates with the WinCan suite, allowing image-based inspections to be instantly transmitted to the cloud via the Sewerlink app.

Data can be uploaded to WinCan Web, providing instant, actionable insights and enabling teams to analyse and share reports before even reaching the next inspection site.

This integration enhances data analysis and reporting, with features like free movement within the virtual 360° video, ensuring a comprehensive review of manhole conditions.

The Quickview 360, combined with the WinCan suite, is transforming urban maintenance by providing municipalities and contractors with an efficient and highly accurate tool for maintaining the integrity of their manhole and sewer infrastructure.

It enables teams to prioritise maintenance, reduce downtime, and ultimately ensure the safety and functionality of critical urban infrastructure.
