WinCan Releases Second in Series of Guides for PACP 7 Defect Codes

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WinCan, a market leader in sewer asset management software and inspection data storage, continues its series of reference guides for PACP 7 codes with the release of a poster depicting operation and maintenance defects. This poster groups defects by category, illustrates how they look within pipelines, and lists the coordinating PACP defect codes. In addition, it depicts the procedure for documenting grout seal tests.

The National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) developed the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) in conjunction with the Water Research Centre (WRc). This program provides a standard framework for sewer operators, engineers and other pipeline inspectors to use when documenting defects and observations. PACP ensures consistent, reliable data from multiple operators over time. The poster will aid new operators when learning PACP and will serve as a reference tool for experienced operators.

"PACP is invaluable to the industry," says Mike Russin, general manager for WinCan in the Americas. "But with so much detail, it can be easy to mix up defect codes. And unless you're using artificial intelligence, even the best software can't identify mis-coded defects. The more accurate your data, the more effective your maintenance workflow will be; this poster makes it easy to choose the right defect every time."
