South Heidelberg Township

Field Inspection Applications Using Mobile GIS Technology
SSM is working with South Heidelberg Township on the development and deployment of field inspection applications using mobile Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. This technology will modernize the Township’s operations and maintenance as well as contribute to a more efficient workflow. SSM is providing multiple inspection applications, all of which include training to Township staff on how to use the GIS applications.

Stormwater Facilities Inspection Applications

  • Populated the existing GIS database with current information, such as outfall descriptions and existing land use within outfall drainage areas.

  • Deployed mobile GIS-base d field inspection applications for the routine inspection of stormwater outfalls within the Township. Data collected using the outfall inspection applications will be used to generate PaDEP MS4 Outfall Field Screening Report.

  • Development and deployment of field inspection applications to gather information and assess the condition of stormwater infrastructure assets throughout the Township.

Transportation Inspection Applications

  • Development and deployment of mobile GIS-based field inspection applications for the routine inspection of street signs and road conditions within the Township.

 Sanitary Sewer Manhole Inspection Application

  • Development and deployment of GIS-based field inspection application for the routine inspection of sanitary sewer manholes within the Authority’s system.
