Infrastructure

A bridge is an asset, not a to-do item

Structures carry a condition, an inspection interval and a history of every walk somebody has done on them. When a board fails, the record of the last four inspections is attached to the bridge rather than in somebody's notebook.

What you can record

Everything on the trail that is not the trail

Each type carries its own fields, so a bridge is described as a bridge rather than as a generic thing with a note attached.

Bridges and boardwalk

Span, decking, stringers, abutments and railing — with the lumber and hardware they were built from, so a rebuild starts from what is actually there.

Gates, kiosks, signs and trailheads

The things that go missing, get vandalised or fall over, each with a code, a location and a condition your crew keeps current.

Stairs, culverts, retaining structures

Anything you build and then have to look after. Add your own types when the list does not have yours.

Photos, over time

Every inspection can carry its own pictures, so a structure accumulates a visual record of how it is aging rather than one photo from the day it went in.

Viewpoints, campsites, water

Points of interest are the other half — the things a visitor is looking for, shown on your public map and in the app.

A lumber list from a bridge record

The materials calculator turns a bridge's own dimensions and stock sizes into a cut list and a hardware count you can take to a supplier.

Inspections

The questions are yours, and they change per type

A bridge inspection and a sign inspection have almost nothing in common. Each structure type carries its own question set, and you can edit it — the defaults are a starting point, not a straitjacket.

One question at a time, in the field

The inspection is a wizard rather than a long form. One question per step, big targets, works with one thumb and no signal — because it is filled in standing on the structure.

Photos you can draw on

Mark the crack, circle the rotten board. An annotated photo attached to the answer is worth more than a paragraph describing where to look.

A condition rating comes out of it

The answers set the structure's condition, so a list of everything needing attention is derived from the walks rather than maintained by hand.

And the next one is scheduled

Each type carries an interval. Recording an inspection stamps the next due date, and a dashboard list shows what is overdue or coming up — measured in your organization's own days, not the server's.

Anything found becomes work

An answer that flags a problem raises a maintenance item against the structure, already described and already located, so the walk and the fix are one chain.
