As part of their infrastructure maintenance program, the Village of Hartland cleans and televises their sanitary sewer main every three years. This schedule allows the Village to closely monitor the condition of this important infrastructure and plan necessary maintenance accordingly.
Other benefits of this program include:
Quick detection and repair of minor conditions prevents small problems from becoming major, costly problems
Regular mainline maintenance helps mitigate infiltration, which in turn relieves unnecessary strain on the treatment plant and prevents spikes in flow
Close observation helps the Village more accurately plan and budget for mainline repairs and replacements
Traditionally, conditions detected during a televised sanitary sewer main inspection are summarized in PDF format and sent to the Village along with CCTV footage. The Village engineer must then analyze the results and replay the video recordings in order to prioritize and plan necessary repairs. This process can be very time consuming and often leaves room for human error.

Fortunately, the team at AssetAlly created a more efficient and cost-effective way to analyze the results of the Village’s sanitary sewer main CCTV inspections. Now the data points from the Village’s televised inspection are uploaded directly to their GIS. This allows the Village to:
Linearly map mainline condition ratings and sanitary lateral locations
Visualize conditions spatially; no more sifting through huge binders of inspection results or hours watching CCTV footage
Quickly and easily search conditions by name and plan repairs based on condition type (i.e. the Village may choose to address all infiltration issues and undergo a large grouting program in 2020, and then address sanitary sewer main lining needs in 2021)
Gather more accurate data and plan a more accurate maintenance budget to cut cost and save time on data analysis
