Asset Management
Our Asset Management services help municipalities take control of their infrastructure with accurate data, smart planning tools, and clear documentation. From O&M manuals and GIS mapping to aerial inspections and facility assessments, we provide the foundation for efficient, informed decision-making.
Electronic O&M Manual
An electronic O&M Manual is a centralized, browser-based tool that stores key information about your asset—such as a plant, lift station, or pump facility—in one secure, easily accessible location. Built using HTML, it requires no special software and includes everything from photos and pump curves to maintenance data, construction drawings, and equipment specs.
Mapping & GIS Projects
Accurate mapping is essential for effective infrastructure management. LSPS Solutions offers mapping services using Trimble GIS receivers with sub-meter or sub-centimeter accuracy to collect detailed GPS data. We deliver this data in Google Earth (.kmz) or GIS shapefile formats, making it easy to view, access, and manage directly on your network. Each asset is geo-linked for quick field identification, and satellite imagery allows for precise measurements and efficient field operations.
Aerial Surveying
Drones (UAVs) offer a cost-effective and highly reliable way to gather detailed data from hard-to-reach areas. They are ideal for inspecting infrastructure and capturing high-resolution images for analysis. Using advanced imaging, we create survey-grade orthomosaic photos—multiple images stitched and geometrically corrected to produce accurate, distortion-free visuals that match the scale and clarity of a map. These images are valuable tools for mapping, planning, and engineering design.
Water Facility Assessment
To support effective planning for rehabilitation and replacement, LSPS Solutions conducts comprehensive assessments of water and wastewater facilities. Our field technicians perform on-site inspections, collecting detailed data and photographs of key components including equipment, piping, controls, and structures. We identify visible defects and note any violations of TCEQ regulations, then evaluate the condition of each major component based on our findings. These assessments provide a clear snapshot of system health and help prioritize future improvements.
Street Inventories
The Street Inventory is a pavement assessment tool used to evaluate and rate the condition of each street segment. Based on visual inspection criteria from the Asphalt Institute’s “Pavement Rating System for Low-Volume Asphalt Roads” (Information Series No. 169), this method assigns a score from 0 to 100, with 100 representing a newly constructed road. As pavement ages and shows signs of wear, its rating declines. This data-driven approach helps prioritize maintenance and rehabilitation planning.
Traffic Sign Inventories
Many municipalities have a significant investment in street and traffic control signs but lack clear data on their quantity, location, and condition. Without this information, it’s challenging to plan for routine maintenance, replacements, and compliance. A traffic sign inventory provides the foundation for proactive asset management and safer roadways.
