This article defines how structural inspections are managed in the system by a user selection action, and system generated actions. The user generated are actions by a user in the mobile app for cracks, leaks, wears, temperatures, other defects and typically in Builder for defects.





Definition of Defect = Requires maintenance action [] therefore monitor is not shown as a defect in reports.

ADD NEW TYPE OF STRUCTURAL INSPECTION

The Add Crack, Leak, Wear, Temperature or Other defect process is started when an end user clicks on the button for the structural inspection location on the mobile app. The user enters the length, degrees, mL/min, and selects the recommended action to determine the required action.


If a Severity levels have been set, the end user will be notified of the severity level based on the parameters entered.

EXISTING INSPECTION


The Existing Inspection process is started when an end user clicks on an existing inspection history for the structural inspection location on the mobile app.  the structural inspection that haven't been action have a status of NOT INSPECTED.



The user is presented with 3 button options  The user clicks the appropriate button depending on the crack condition

  • Repaired - the inspection has been fixed.
  • Grown - the inspection parameter is longer
  • Static - the inspection parameter hasn't changed since last inspection.


The measured parameter is entered and the recommended action is then selected.


If a Severity levels have been set, the end user will be notified of the severity level based on parameter entered.


Leak Properties

Leak Rate (drip mL/minute)

  • Entered as a value
  • Leak rate can be linked to Severity.
  • User can not set the severity it is derived from the rate.
  • Severity is defined in Limits as a limit type ‘Condition List’

Conditional Limit (Severity)

        Example

  • Based on a user defined limit (optional)
    1. < 0mL
    2. 1mL  < & < 5mL 
    3. 5mL < & < 15mL 
    4. > 15mL

Cracks Properties

Length

  • Entered as a value
  • Length of crack can be linked to Severity.
  • User can not set the severity it is derived from the length.
  • Severity is defined in Limits as a limit type ‘Condition List’

Conditional Limit (Crack Severity)

        Example

  • Based on a user defined limit (optional)
    1. < 10mm
    2. 10mm < & < 25mm
    3. 25mm < & < 50mm
    4. > 50mm


Wear Properties

Length, Width and depth

  • Entered as a value
  • Value of wear can be linked to Severity.
  • User can not set the severity it is derived from the length, Width and depth.
  • Severity is defined in Limits as a limit type ‘Condition List’

Conditional Limit (Crack Severity)

        Example

  • Based on a user defined limit (optional)
    1. < 0mm
    2. 0.01mm  < & < 0.5mm
    3. 0.5mm < & < 1.5mm
    4. > 1.5mm

Temperature Properties

Degree Celsius

  • Entered as a value
  • Temperature can be linked to Severity.
  • User can not set the severity it is derived from the tempetature.
  • Severity is defined in Limits as a limit type ‘Condition List’

Conditional Limit (Crack Severity)

        Example

  • Based on a user defined limit (optional)
    1. < 60ºC 
    2. 60ºC < & <70ºC
    3. 70ºC< & < 80ºC
    4. > 80ºC

Recommended Action

  • Repair
  • Monitor
  • No Action (only available for selection for repaired cracks)

Status

  • New [Set automatically for New Structural inspections]
  • Grown
  • Static
  • Repaired
  • Not Inspected)

Priority

  • P1 – Urgent (24 Hours)
  • P2 – High (7 days)
  • P3 – Medium (30 days)
  • P4 – Low (3 months)

 

New Crack Field Requirements

User to enter the following parameters.

  • Description (Mandatory) – should be name of location (ie track frame etc.)
  • Lengthà Determines Severity if linked to limit
  • Priority (Hidden / Not applicable)
  • Action     àMonitor (Default)

à Repair à Unhide Priority Dropdown (Default P3 - 30 days)

  • Photos (Can set minimum number to take – 0, 1, 2 etc.)

     

Existing Crack  Field Requirements 

Repaired

  • Length (Default = 0)
  • Priority (Hidden)
  • Action (Hidden – system set to No Action)

Grown

  • Length     à Determines Severity if linked to limit
  • Action     àRepair à Unhide Priority Dropdown (Default P3 - 30 days). Save record with new ID.

à Monitor à Save record with new ID

Static à save record with new ID, no user action. Other data remains the same.

Not Inspected à Save record with new ID, no user action. Other data remains the same. This is the default if the user does not select one of the available options. Still creates an recorded to indicate it was inspectioned.
