During the building of the residential and commercial property, the construction industry must be in compliance with water run-off standards. Once completed, they must maintain with a routine schedule.
Vegetated open channels, such as grass channels, wet swales, and dry swales, can be an effective water treatment. This app is a great tool for the implementation and management of an Open Channel System, which is part of structural landscaping design. It can be helpful to know the details of an inspection process in the designing stage of this landscaping project. This software builds electronic records that replace paper forms. Its database can be accessed in the field with a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
The Open Channel System Construction Inspection Checklist App walks you through the installation, inspection process, and maintenance of vegetated open channels. In the first phase, the user should conduct a pre-construction meeting with the design team, make sure runoff water is diverted, and ensure area location staked out. Next, drainage components must be installed properly. In the excavation sequence, the user would check soil permeability and groundwater. With the Vegetation sequence, the user determines that work complies with planting specifications and that topsoil is adequate in composition and placement. Finally, using the notes section, the user can add any maintenance requirements and corrective actions needed to ensure the success of the project. In addition, this app can be customized to include the unique fields you need for your job.
After the completion of an Open Channel System, a general contractor may be required to have the construction site inspected by a professional. If a contractor fails to meet the requirements of Open Channel Systems’ standards on a construction site, it could hold up a building permit or environmental certificate. Open Channel Systems may be essential to pollution prevention in water systems and offer erosion and sediment control. When a record is completed, a PDF report is created that can be forwarded to a supervisor. A copy is stored in your GoCanvas account for your records.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
