The Contractor, the Camera, & the AI: Inside the Modern Manhole Inspection Workflow
Join Jamie Truax of Truax Corporation, Kevin Marsh of TREKK, and SewerAI's Samantha Pierce and Eric Sullivan on May 20 at 10AM PT for a 60-minute webinar on what a modern manhole inspection workflow actually looks like in the field.
Manhole Inspection Is Still Living in the Past. But Not for Long
Mainline CCTV inspection has evolved dramatically over the past two decades. Manhole inspection? Not so much. Most of the industry is still running the same playbook: measuring tape, a few topside photos, and rotating cameras producing footage that engineers can't code, can't analyze, and can't use to make confident rehabilitation decisions.
The result is a data gap that costs everyone: contractors who can't differentiate their bids, municipalities making capital decisions on incomplete information, and engineers who know the data isn't good enough but don't have a better option on the table.
The Gap Is Closing… and the Contractors Doing It Are Winning
A growing number of contractors and municipalities are figuring this out. They're adopting structured manhole inspection workflows that produce deliverables engineers actually want: coded defect data, georeferenced imagery, and AI-assisted reporting that meets or exceeds NASSCO MACP standards.
The results are measurable. Crews running modern manhole inspection workflows are completing 100+ manhole inspections per day with the same people they already have. They're winning bids on deliverable quality, not just price. And they're building the kind of client relationships that generate repeat work.
This isn't a future-state scenario. It's happening now, and the gap between early movers and everyone else is widening.
The Webinar: Inside the Modern Manhole Inspection Workflow
On May 20 at 10AM PT, join us for a 60-minute webinar: The Contractor, the Camera, & the AI: Inside the Modern Manhole Inspection Workflow.
Four people who work in this space every day will walk through what a modern manhole inspection workflow actually looks like, from the field to the final deliverable.

What You'll Learn
What 'good' manhole inspection data looks like in 2026
Municipal engineers are increasingly specifying structured manhole data by name, and the bar is rising. We'll cover what compliant, usable deliverables look like and why the old approach is becoming a liability on competitive bids.
How better cameras and AI change the math on bidding manhole work
When you can inspect more manholes per day and produce a better deliverable, the economics of manhole work shift. We'll break down how the numbers actually work and what it means for how you price and win jobs.
What it actually takes to roll out a new workflow with the crew you already have
This includes the parts that don't go smoothly. Adoption isn't just about buying new equipment, it's about training, process change, and managing the learning curve. Our speakers have been through it and will tell you what to expect.
