What’s the Process for NASSCO PACP/LACP/MACP Coding?
If you’re reading this, you know it’s time to inspect your pipes. Whether for maintenance or identifying an issue, CCTV inspections are the most accurate way to keep your infrastructure healthy. But you might wonder what the process is for NASSCO PACP/LACP/MACP coding.
The good news: it’s clear and straightforward.
As a CCTV Pipe Inspector, we want the process to be easy so that you can take care of your pipes, manholes, and sewers so they are healthy and efficient.
About CCTV Pipe Inspections
CCTV pipe inspections use the latest camera and video technology to capture defects and blockage in underground infrastructure. It’s one of the most thorough processes to find issues and improve the health of pipes.
A NASSCO certification ensures that professionals provide standardized coding and reporting during the process for a more efficient and streamlined result.
What does NASSCO Stand For?
NASSCO is the top organization that educates, trains, and certifies professionals for underground infrastructure. Their certificates are the most respected for quality work and assurance.
The NASSCO Coding Process
The coding process involves about four steps.
1. Analyses of CCTV Footage
We inspect the footage made by quality NASSCO standards. The coder can see the entirety of the pipes and identify issues or maintenance needs.
2. Defect Coding Process
The coder documents the defects identified in the footage. After, they report it through the NASSCO standardized process.
3. Re-evaluate the Defect Coding
Once the coder completes the report, the inspection company will run one last code validation to ensure the inspection conforms to NASSCO standards.
4. Delivery of Report
Once the report is developed and approved, the inspection company delivers it to you. You can use these analyses and action plans to address issues and maintenance identified.
Why Standardized Coding is Important
Standardized coding provides a streamlined process and form of communication that increases efficiency within the industry.
With NASSCO coding practices, you can ensure that professionals will provide the expectations and coding that is understandable and clear throughout the industry.
This ensures you get more accurate reporting, efficient maintenance, and accuracy during repairs.
