Valve Inspection Software
Never miss a critical valve, never lose an inspection record, and stay permanently PHMSA audit-ready with the industry’s most trusted gas inspection software for valves.
The Modern Way to Manage Valve Inspections
Valves are the most important operable assets in your entire system. A single seized or inaccessible valve during an emergency can cost millions and endanger lives.
Yet most utilities still rely on paper cards, grease-stained notebooks, and Excel sheets that go missing the week before an audit. Using HSC Cloud to document valve inspections replaces all of that with a 100 % digital, GPS-verified, mobile-first workflow that guarantees every valve is inspected on time, every time.

Current Pain Point |
How HSC Cloud Ends It Forever |
|---|---|
|
Valves buried, paved over, or “lost” |
Every valve pinned on GIS map with GPS coordinates and photos |
|
Technicians forgetting to grease or re-check sticky valves |
Smart conditional logic prompts “apply grease → re-test” on the spot |
|
Paper valve cards damaged, lost, or never filed |
Permanent cloud storage — every photo, turn count, and note is time/GPS-stamped |
|
No proof a valve was actually turned or lubricated |
Upload before/after photos |
|
Spending days compiling accessibility reports |
One-click reports with all data pre-filled |
|
New techs not knowing the exact procedure |
Built-in procedural guidance, schematics, and photos attached to every valve. Reduce the impact of employee turnover. |
Key Features Built Specifically for Natural Gas & Pipeline Valve Inspection
- Integration with Esri ArcGIS
- Custom form builder allows your forms to be integrated into HSC Cloud
- Conditional logic: “If valve sticks → prompt grease → require re-test”
- Automatic follow-up work order creation for broken, inoperable, or buried valves
- Optional photo proof (valve box open, stem condition, after lubrication)
- Full offline mode — works in alleys, vaults, and rural areas with no signal
- Instant supervisor alerts if a valve fails inspection

Additional HSC Cloud Benefits
Map & Organize Assets
Every critical valve is accurately plotted on an interactive GIS map. Tap any valve to instantly see last inspection date, history, photos, and overdue status.
Streamline Workflows
Schedule annual, semi-annual, monthly or risk-based inspections on all critical valves. Inspections can be scheduled based on the completion date of the previous inspection to stay in compliance.
Compliance Reporting Made Easy
Generate custom PHMSA-ready valve accessibility and operability reports in one click. Reports are filterable and include all required data fields. Email directly to management or auditors in seconds.
Reduce Paper Clutter
Go completely paperless. Every valve inspection record lives securely in the cloud, instantly searchable and filterable. Never lose another paper form or waste hours hunting for last year’s test results.

Frequently Asked Questions – Pipeline Valve Inspection 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 valve needs to be repaired?
If there a problem is found with the valve, HSC Cloud will prompt the technician to try maintenance steps (e.g., adding grease and re-checking). If the valve is broken or needs to be repaired or replaced, the system allows triggering a follow-up repair work order.
Q: Can you view valves 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 valves are located and what needs inspection.
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 valve reporting easier, reduces paperwork clutter, and ensures historical inspection records are stored and easily accessible.
