Field Data Capture services provide the raw information needed to manage a complex water distribution system. Field technicians create an inventory of a water utility's field assets, and locate the exact physical location and route using high-accuracy GPS technology. Unlike conventional large-scale inventories, field data capture for water utilities carefully verifies and validates that the data recorded for each individual asset is correctly and precisely describing the actual asset in the field being inventoried, avoiding situations where assets are misidentified, or asset data is incorrectly applied to a similar or identical asset.

Field Data Capture services from Wachs Water Services ensure that water utilities receive accurate data reflecting the real-world conditions and operational status of their field assets. Highly trained field data capture professionals operationally test and cycle each asset to verify functionality, record the asset data, and deliver the data to information management specialists where the data undergoes a three-tier validation process before being converted to a digital format usable by the client's water GIS system.
