Field Diagnostics & Condition Assessment

Our field diagnostics and condition assessment services are designed to provide utilities with accurate, actionable data on the performance of their water distribution and wastewater collection systems. By combining industry-standard inspection techniques with advanced data integration, we help utilities establish a defensible understanding of asset condition to guide operations and capital planning.

Water System Diagnostics

  • Valve Condition Assessment: Field crews locate, inspect, and exercise valves to verify operability, identify partial closures, and document turning torque. Data collected ensures critical isolation points are functional in the event of system emergencies or planned maintenance.

  • Hydrant Inspection & Flow Testing: Hydrants are evaluated for structural integrity, leakage, and accessibility. Flow testing provides hydrant pressure and flow data, enabling utilities to confirm fire protection capacity and identify hydraulic constraints within the distribution network.

Sewer System Diagnostics

  • Smoke Testing: Non-toxic smoke is introduced into sewer mains under controlled conditions to identify inflow and infiltration sources, cross-connections, and structural defects. Results are mapped to support infiltration reduction programs and regulatory compliance.

  • Acoustic Sewer Testing: Acoustic technology is deployed to rapidly screen sewer segments for blockages, debris accumulation, or structural failure risk. This method allows utilities to prioritize CCTV inspection and cleaning resources based on objective risk indicators.

Data Management & Integration

Field diagnostic results are only as useful as the systems that manage them. CG Asset Solutions standardizes all field data and integrates results into centralized asset management dashboards. These tools allow operations staff and management teams to:

  • Track valve, hydrant, and sewer asset condition in near real time.

  • Visualize inspection coverage and identify high-risk zones.

  • Link field results to GIS, CMMS, or other asset management platforms.

  • Generate reports that support maintenance prioritization, capital planning, and regulatory documentation.

By combining proven diagnostic techniques with robust data integration, CG Asset Solutions delivers utilities a complete picture of system condition and a framework for long-term asset performance management.
