Managing Cleaning Tasks

Last updated: January 29, 2025

Video Summary of Cleaning Management in PIONEER

Why It Matters

  • Sewer cleaning work comprises a huge portion of the day-to-day operations and maintenance tasks for contractors and utilities.

  • Until now, there has been no purpose-built solution for managing cleaning work; organizations tend to use paper forms for logs or make their own digital spreadsheets or forms

  • There is valuable data inside Cleaning activity - about the number of passes and level of debris - that can inform intelligent O&M programs, assisting in scehduling maintence, and also predicting future risk

  • SewerAI is linking Cleanings right into our Inspection platform, providing a user-friendly way to capture cleaning data including time spent, GIS location and photographs
