Frequently Asked Questions – Pipeline Patrol & Leak Survey Software

Q: Can HSC Cloud integrate with Esri ArcGIS?

Yes- HSC Cloud can integrate with Esri ArcGIS to automatically sync assets.  If a new asset is mapped in HSC Cloud or added to the GIS, it will automatically be scheduled reoccurring inspection(s) in HSC Cloud if it meets the specific predetermined criteria.

Q: How does HSC Cloud guide technicians during an inspection?

We can build your inspection forms into HSC Cloud to create a custom work form where technicians must mark each task complete before moving on — making inspections systematic and less prone to error.

Q: What happens during the inspection if the leak needs to be repaired?

If the leak meets specified criteria, HSC Cloud will automatically schedule a leak repair.  The entire leak repair and reinspection process can be automated with HSC Cloud.

Q: Can you view gas leaks and their details through the system’s map?

Yes — HSC Cloud includes a customizable map to visualize key assets, track inspection assignments, and schedule maintenance or inspections. It helps organize where gas leaks are located and what needs inspection or repair.

Q: Does the software handle asset mapping, work-order scheduling, and inspection tracking?

Yes, HSC Cloud supports asset mapping, scheduling of inspection routes, real-time visibility of assignments, and workflow management so that once a task is done, the next appears in a technician’s queue.

Q: How does it simplify regulatory compliance and record-keeping?

Inspection data, reports, and documentation are digitized — replacing paper — which makes compliance reporting easier, reduces paperwork clutter, and ensures historical inspection records are stored and easily accessible.
