4th Edition Gravity Pipe Inspection Manual
Every condition assessment is coded and reported to the 4th Edition Gravity Pipe Inspection Manual — the recognised New Zealand standard for describing and grading defects in gravity pipe networks. That means:
- Consistent, comparable defect coding across your whole network
- Separate structural and service condition grades
- Imagery and still frames tied to each observation
- Prioritised recommendations for renewal or maintenance
