This full day webinar delivers in-depth insight into modern manhole inspection practices and condition assessment strategies, featuring expert-led presentations originally delivered live by industry leaders.
Attendees will gain practical knowledge on MACP™ standards, Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, emerging inspection technologies, AI-assisted defect recognition, I&I identification, post-inspection review methods, and updated guidance from ASCE MOP 92. Sessions focus on collecting accurate data, evaluating structural condition, and using results to support sound rehabilitation planning.
With 9 technical sessions, two previously recorded Q&A segments, and up to 8 Professional Development Hours available, this full-day virtual rebroadcast provides a comprehensive learning opportunity for engineers, utility owners, inspectors, asset managers, and wastewater professionals preparing to move from inspection and assessment into effective rehabilitation planning in Parts 2 and 3 of the series.

The periodic inspection of manholes’ structural integrity is crucial to prevent costly and potentially hazardous damages. However, the traditional method of sending operators in for direct visual inspection can quickly become a big expenditure and also inefficiently allocates resources that are often scarce and required for other important tasks. In order to efficiently integrate a regular manhole inspection program, municipalities need a fast and effective solution that will allow them to perform a full survey of their manhole network while maintaining the impact on their manpower as low as possible.
