Transparent, Proactive Asset Management
Today’s public works professional bears a new burden – transparency. Not only is all of internal municipal management watching your actions and spending closely, but so are your constituents. It has become very easy for anyone to access information about department budgets, spending, and overall fiscal responsibility. Historically, public works has always approached asset maintenance on extremely limited budgets, so proactive asset inventories and condition assessments were far too expensive to consider an option. Some advances have been made to video and scanning technologies for manhole, structure, and pump station assessments to stay ahead of asset degradation, but the results were not much better than “old school” assessments.
In 2018, GHA investigated the Cues SPiDER 3D scanner. We saw great potential, but it was simply not yet a valuable engineering tool. For over a year, GHA worked directly with Cues on a prototype, identifying potential improvements and improving accuracy. Through this partnership, a huge leap forward was made in efficient, accurate structure assessment.
