Utilities inspection software

Utilities inspections
with evidence for every asset.

Record readings, condition, photographs and follow-up actions against network sites and assets. Field teams work offline, then sync the inspection evidence for review. SiteSurvey keeps the field record; it does not send automated certificate or renewal alerts.

What does inspection software do for utility field teams?

It replaces paper sheets and loose photos for recurring checks on network assets such as hydrants, substations, meters and pumping stations. Engineers complete the same form at every site, record readings and photographs against the asset, and work offline, so compliance teams read each asset's history rather than rebuild it.

Distance multiplies risk

Safety compliance needs a shared field record.

When assets are spread across hundreds of remote locations, the record of what was found is only as good as what survived the journey back to the office. Incomplete safety surveys, contractor reports in three different formats and photographs with no asset number attached make planning, compliance and maintenance harder than they need to be. And when an audit asks what condition a substation was in eighteen months ago, the answer has to be reconstructed rather than retrieved.

01

Remote evidence

A hydrant or enclosure photo arrives without the asset number, site or reading that would make it actionable.

02

Inconsistent surveys

Two crews survey the same substation type and come back with different details in different formats.

03

Disconnected follow-up

The remedial action lives in an email thread, separated from the safety survey that raised it.

One continuous record

From remote safety survey to an accountable action.

Preserve the site, asset, evidence and outcome even when the work starts far from the office and finishes somewhere with no signal at all. Each stage adds to the same record rather than starting a new one, so the action that comes out of a survey can always be traced back to the evidence that raised it.

01

Visit the asset

Open the correct safety, condition or maintenance form for the infrastructure type.

02

Confirm the location

Connect the update to the right site, zone and mapped asset.

03

Record the condition

Capture readings, identifiers, photographs and Walk Cam video, and live voice-to-text writes the observation as you film.

04

Sync the outcome

Give asset and compliance teams a consistent record when connectivity returns.

Field resilience

Designed for work beyond reliable signal.

Engineers can capture the full field record on mobile (forms, readings, photographs and video) and sync it back to the central workspace when coverage returns. Compliance and asset managers see the same record the engineer captured, in the same structure every time, rather than a mixture of emailed photographs and typed-up notes arriving days apart.

Utilities FAQ

Utility inspections and compliance: common questions.

01What is the best utility inspection software?+

The best utility inspection software is the one your field teams will use at every site, in the same way, with no signal. Look for forms you can build per asset type, readings and identifiers stored on the asset, photographs and video tied to the site and asset, offline capture and sync, and actions that stay open until closed. If you need network modelling, work order management or automated regulatory reporting, choose a system built for that. SiteSurvey is strong on the field record and each asset's history: it has no pre-built regulatory templates and does not send automated certificate alerts.

02Can SiteSurvey be used as a utility safety compliance tracker?+

Yes. Field teams capture safety and condition surveys on mobile, and each one is filed against the site and asset it belongs to rather than arriving as a loose document. Because the survey, its photographic evidence and any action it raised stay attached to the same asset record, compliance review becomes a matter of reading the history rather than rebuilding it from emails and shared drives. Surveys are repeatable, so the same check run across a network produces comparable records instead of six crews' worth of different formats.

03Is there utilities compliance software that works for UK networks?+

Yes. SiteSurvey is built and supported in the UK, prices in pounds, and is used by field teams running distributed asset networks. The forms are yours to define, which matters more than any pre-built template: water, electricity, gas and telecoms networks each inspect different things to different standards, so the survey is configured to the checks your organisation actually carries out rather than a fixed regulatory template that never quite fits.

04Can authorisation certificates and their expiry dates be tracked?+

Certificate details can be held as custom data points (reference, issuing body, category and expiry date) against the person, asset or site they belong to, in the same way an asset register holds install dates and warranty expiry. A survey that depends on a valid authorisation can capture the reference at the point of work, so the evidence shows who carried out the task and under which certificate. Renewals are handled as actions with an owner and a due date that stay open until closed, rather than by an automated alerting system.

05Can SiteSurvey be used at remote locations?+

Yes, and this is the case it is designed for. Everything is captured on the device, including forms, readings, photographs, annotations and video, so a chamber, substation or pumping station with no coverage at all is no obstacle. The record syncs to the project automatically once the engineer is back in range, which means work is never deferred to the drive home and then written from memory.

06Can we create different surveys for different asset types?+

Yes. Reusable forms can be tailored to each infrastructure category, safety check or maintenance process, and assigned to the assets or sites they apply to. A hydrant check, a substation safety survey and a pump-station visit are three different forms drawing on one library, so crews always open the right one for what is in front of them.

07Can assets store readings and custom information?+

Yes. Products and assets hold whatever data points your network needs: identifiers, serial and meter numbers, readings, condition ratings, test results and inspection dates. Because the values sit on the asset rather than inside a document, condition can be compared across inspection rounds instead of being locked in a PDF from each visit.

08Can contractor evidence be included?+

Yes. Contractor visits and the evidence captured on them stay connected to the relevant project, location and asset record, so third-party work is held to the same structure as work done in house. That matters most at audit, when the question is usually whether the contractor's report can be tied back to a specific asset on a specific date.

09What is a utility site survey?+

A utility site survey is a structured visit to a piece of network infrastructure to record its condition, its safety status and the readings or identifiers that describe it. It typically covers the asset itself, the enclosure or compound around it, access and safety observations, and photographic evidence of anything that needs attention. Because utility assets are inspected repeatedly over many years, the value of each survey depends on whether it can be compared with the last one, which is why the record needs to sit against the asset rather than in a folder named after the date.

10Who is it for?+

Field engineers, asset managers, compliance teams and contractors working on water, energy and telecoms networks. It suits teams inspecting many remote sites who need each visit recorded against the asset in the same structure.

11How much does it cost?+

Pricing is per user, not per site or asset. The Works plan, which includes the custom form builder, floor plans and reports these inspections use, is £25 per user per month. The Base plan starts at £13 per user per month. Every plan starts with a trial from £1, cancel any time.
