The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for creating a test record for a utility infrastructure including a plurality of interconnected components which convey a deliverable from at least one source to at least one destination. The computer implemented method may include a testing device that creates and monitors a test to create a test record. The test record may be stored in a database for access by other devices and/or users. The disclosed embodiments enable a testing device to provide accurate and convenient test records for the plurality of interconnected components.

Automated testing of utility infrastructure assets

A method for creating GIS features and populating a GIS feature attribute with information obtained from a bar code or similar identifier, for example but not limited to pipelines. The method of this invention includes scanning a code on a component to be installed or repaired, converting the code into attributes which describe the component, obtaining additional characteristics of the components, associating the component with a location of installation and placing the geometric feature onto the GIS map.

Mapping and asset lifecycle tracking system

An excavation shoring system having four vertical, cylindrical poles, each connected to a base element, arranged to constitute corners of a rectangle. At least one vertically oriented shoring panel corresponding to each side of the rectangle is provided, with each of the shoring panels corresponding to adjacent sides of the rectangle having one end rotatably connected to a first pair of diagonally opposed cylindrical poles in a manner forming four vertical walls of uniform height. At least two vertically oriented, U-shaped channels disposed at right angles to each other are connected to a second pair of diagonally opposed cylindrical poles. The U-shaped channels have a channel width substantially corresponding to a thickness of the panels and are oriented to receive a free end of each shoring panel.
