GIS & MAPPING
Free Basic Sewer Asset Map for Qualifying POSM Customers
Turn existing sewer asset information into a basic visual map of pipes, manholes, and inspection coverage—and see how mapping can become part of your POSM inspection workflow.

Inspection video tells you what is happening inside a pipe. Mapping adds geographic context by showing where those inspected pipes, manholes, and other assets are located within the collection system.
A basic asset map can help crews and office staff visualize inspection coverage, locate assets, identify areas that still need to be inspected, and begin connecting field inspection information with a broader GIS workflow.
For qualifying POSM customers, our team may be able to create a free basic asset map from existing customer data to help demonstrate how this type of workflow can be used with POSM.
What a Basic Asset Map Can Include
The exact map depends on the asset information available, but a basic mapping project may include:
- Pipe and manhole locations based on available customer data.
- Basic asset information used to identify mapped pipes and structures.
- Visual identification of inspected and uninspected assets when the necessary inspection information is available.
- A starting point for connecting mapped assets with POSM inspection information.
How Mapping Helps Your Inspection Program
Even a simple asset map can make inspection information easier to understand by answering practical questions visually:
- Which pipes and areas have already been inspected?
- Which assets still need inspection?
- Where should crews work next to complete a project, neighborhood, or basin?
- How can inspection information be connected with existing GIS and asset-management workflows?
From a Basic Map to a Connected GIS Workflow
A starter asset map can also help organizations understand what is possible as their GIS and inspection workflows grow. POSM offers mapping and GIS tools that can connect sewer assets with inspection records and help move information between field and office systems.
Depending on your existing GIS environment and project goals, POSM can help determine whether tools such as MapReader, ArcGIS Online integration, or other POSM GIS workflows are appropriate for your organization.
Ask POSM About a Free Basic Asset Map
Every organization's asset data is different. Contact POSM to see whether your project qualifies for a free basic asset map and to discuss how your existing data could be used to start or expand a GIS-based inspection workflow.
