Shelf footage is spent money. Graded footage is a budget case.
The deal, up front: your crews already televise. Send us the runs. Each one comes back graded segment by segment and filed against your manholes. By year three the register tells you what one run never could: what is getting worse, how fast, and which capital request the video backs up.
For the public works director or utility superintendent with miles of main televised and no defensible way to rank them at budget time.
One reach, registered
| Segment | Material | Grade 2024 | Grade 2026 | Trend | Register note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MH-101 to 102 | PVC, 8 in | G1 | G1 | stable | No action. Re-televise on the 5 year cycle. |
| MH-102 to 103 | VCP, 8 in | G2 | G3 | declining | Root cutting holds it. Line for the 2028 relining group. |
| MH-103 to 104 | VCP, 8 in | G3 | G4 | declining fast | Offsets and infiltration on camera. The footage stills attach to the capital request. |
What the register is for
Budget season
A council asks why this block and not that one. The register answers with two grades and a trend arrow per segment, and the exact frames behind them. That is a different conversation from "the camera guy says it is bad."
Grant and SRF applications
Condition-based asset management language, backed by a dated register, is what reviewers ask for. The register exports straight into the application's asset tables.
Crew time
Your operators keep televising exactly as they do now, any camera brand, any format. Nothing new to learn, nothing to install in the vactor building.
What we are not
Not an engineering firm, and the register says so. Grades describe observed condition on a stated scale. Design decisions stay with your engineer of record.
Proposed pilot price
