7 Surveys
This section describes how to create and manage pipe surveys (also called pipe inspections). The
controller generates a survey report when you export the survey; see page 204.
You can create basic or structured surveys. For structured surveys, the P550c controller supports WRc’s
MSCC 3 through 5 survey standards; see page 236, and WinCan standards; see page 234236.
7.1 Create a new survey
Follow these steps:
1 In the home screen (page 33), press the Create survey button.
2 In the Create survey dialog, set the survey details:
Name: The survey name defaults to the current date and time, but you can set a custom name.
Format: Choose one of the following:
- Basic survey: You do not need to specify any details at this point. If required, you can later edit the
survey header to specify the operator (the person carrying out the survey), job number, date and time,
location of the survey, plus any remarks. See page 203.
- Structured survey (WRc): You must choose the survey standard. For example, you can choose
MSCC5 Sewerage, MSCC5 Domestic or MSCC5 Highways. For a list of currently supported standards,
see page 233.
