Introduction

Florida utilities require fast, accurate, standards-based condition data to plan rehabilitation and minimize inflow/infiltration in high‑groundwater, coastal, and sink‑prone soils. Hinterland Group delivers end‑to‑end CCTV inspection, PACP‑coded reporting, and GIS‑ready datasets for sanitary, stormwater, and reclaimed systems across the state, with rapid mobilization from our Riviera Beach HQ and project experience with multiple Florida cities and counties. See our Inspection Services, Services, and Florida project portfolio (e.g., West Palm Beach 31–35th St project, Nottingham Blvd improvements, and FPUA utilities program).

Scope of CCTV/PACP Workflows

• Pre‑cleaning and hydraulic prep (jet/vac) to inspection standards; confirm debris removal and flow control.

• Robotic CCTV capture of mains; lateral launches where specified; manhole scans as needed to complete reach.

• Defect coding and feature logging per PACP for mains, LACP for laterals, and MACP for manholes.

• QA/QC review, validation against the NASSCO exchange schema, and packaging of a complete, importable dataset.

• GIS attribution and spatial joins to client centerlines, structures, and asset IDs; export to requested formats.

• Prioritized rehab recommendations aligned to utility objectives (I/I reduction, structural risk, capacity restoration).

Standards and Coding Frameworks

• PACP (pipelines), LACP (laterals), and MACP (manholes) coding systems are used to standardize observations, grades, and defect families for consistent asset decisions. Current deployments in Florida typically request Version 8 data exchange compatibility to enable software validation and modern features (e.g., pressure pipe and stormwater access code updates).

• Software interoperability: deliverables are produced to the NASSCO exchange database specification (import/export) so owners and engineers can ingest data in their preferred certified platforms.

• Inspection frequency and use in CIP: PACP/MACP/LACP outputs support risk‑focused renewal planning, SSES, consent‑order reporting, and cross‑bore risk reduction.

Credentials and QA/QC

• Project teams perform inspections and data production to PACP/LACP/MACP standards and staff roles according to owner requirements. Utilities commonly require active PACP/MACP/LACP credentials for operators and data reviewers with three‑year recertification cycles and software validation using the current exchange schema.

• QA/QC controls include: schema validation of header/observation tables, continuous footage verification, defect code/grade checks, video quality review (lighting, focus, centering, speed), and reconciliation of structure IDs to owner GIS.

Deliverables and Sample Outputs

The following package is typical for Florida SSES, stormwater programs, and capital planning. Single‑source or staged delivery is available.

GIS Exports and System Integration

• Core exports: Esri File Geodatabase feature classes (lines/points), Shapefiles for cross‑platform use, and GeoJSON for web mapping; optional CSVs for tabular review.

• Attribute model: Includes segment IDs, upstream/downstream structures, pipe material/diameter, inspection date, length, continuous footage QA flags, overall and peak grades, and media paths.

• Spatial alignment: Deliverables are registered to owner coordinate systems (e.g., Florida State Plane, appropriate NAD83 realization) with metadata describing projection, vertical datum (if used), and linear referencing approach.

• Integration: Data packages import into common asset systems and PACP‑certified software for further QA, dashboards, and CIP modeling.

Florida City/County Use Cases (Representative)

• West Palm Beach neighborhoods: Utility and drainage improvements for ~170 homes included coordination of sanitary, storm, and restoration scopes; our inspection and trenchless teams support similar municipal renewals with PACP datasets that streamline design review. See 31–35th St project.

• Citywide renewal programs: Fort Pierce Utilities Authority awarded a multi‑site utilities contract where our team delivered new/rehab work and documentation across active traffic corridors; PACP/MACP deliverables are packaged to owner specs for system‑wide management. See FPUA program.

• Stormwater rehabilitation: Florida counties (e.g., Charlotte, Palm Beach, Manatee, Seminole) engage Hinterland for trenchless rehabilitation and maintenance; PACP‑style stormwater coding and GIS outputs tie directly into county drainage asset inventories. See Inspection Services and About Us for the Florida municipalities we serve.

Owner Specification Checklist (Florida‑Ready)

Include the following in RFPs, task orders, and technical specs to ensure clean, interoperable data:

• Coding: Require PACP/LACP/MACP Version 8‑compatible coding and exchange database deliverable; specify MACP Level 1 or Level 2 as applicable.

• Media: MP4 (H.264) videos with continuous footage overlay; minimum 1080p unless otherwise approved; stills in JPEG.

• Quality: Maximum inspection travel speed, lighting/centering criteria, and validation of footage continuity.

• Data integrity: Database must pass software validation without critical schema errors; include a data dictionary and field mapping to owner asset IDs.

• GIS: Provide.gdb and.shp (and/or GeoJSON) with projection metadata; include links from GIS features back to media and PDF reports.

• Safety and traffic: MOT compliant with FDOT and local requirements; confined space and gas monitoring procedures.

• Deliverable acceptance: Define sample submittals (one basin/pilot area) and acceptance testing before full‑scale production.
