A cutting-edge revolution

Together, two tools are revolutionising maintenance hole inspections by providing rapid, precise, and actionable data in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

This is important when it comes to urban infrastructure maintenance and inspection, where time efficiency and accuracy are critical.

Cutting-edge technology from Sewer Equipment Company Australia, better known as SECA, offers rapid and efficient maintenance hole inspections, and integration with WinCan enables seamless data management and reporting.

The camera seamlessly integrates with the WinCan suite, allowing image-based inspections to be instantly transmitted to the cloud via the WinCan mobile 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 maintenance hole conditions.

Features

The Quickview 360 is an automated maintenance hole inspection camera that allows operators to inspect more maintenance holes, drastically improving inspection times.

Key features include 4K panoramic video and 3D modelling capabilities, making it a powerful tool for maintenance hole condition assessment.

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

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 maintenance hole and sewer infrastructure.

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

In focus

Australia played host to an international event recently focused on shaping the future of infrastructure asset management, where tools that are revolutionising maintenance hole inspections took centre stage.

The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA)’s annual International Asset Management Congress took place in Canberra on 28-29 November.

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

WinCan Managing Director Martin Hein was among the speakers at the recent IPWEA Congress.

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

This involved highlighting the Quickview 360 camera and its seamless integration with the WinCan suite of asset management software.

Speaking to Trenchless Australasia, Hein highlighted the benefits of WinCan Enterprise Cloud.

“In today’s fast-paced wastewater industry, efficient and reliable asset management is crucial,” he said.

“WinCan Enterprise Cloud, an advanced asset management cloud portal, redefines how municipalities and service providers oversee their infrastructure overall.

“With a focus on work order management, WinCan Enterprise Cloud enables users to create, assign, and monitor work orders seamlessly through a GIS-based map interface.

“The platform empowers teams to generate work orders directly from an interactive map, allowing asset inspections to be assigned and sent in real time to WinCan’s field inspection software.

“This integration allows for comprehensive condition data collection on assets, facilitating faster, more accurate reporting and follow-up.

“The fully electronic data management system ensures all data exchanges between WinCan Enterprise Cloud and field solutions are streamlined through internet connectivity, significantly accelerating workflows while maintaining robust data security.”

Hein also highlighted key benefits of WinCan Enterprise Cloud, including the automation of traditionally manual processes, a faster data exchange that reduces costs, and a minimised risk of data loss.

“By streamlining data collection and management, WinCan Enterprise Cloud not only enhances productivity but also offers municipalities a cost-effective solution that simplifies regulatory compliance and supports more informed decision-making,” he said.

“For the wastewater industry, WinCan Enterprise Cloud marks a pivotal advancement, enabling teams to focus more on strategic asset management and less on administrative tasks, ultimately driving improved service delivery and infrastructure sustainability.”
