Levee Inspection\Asset Management System
What is it?
Multi-Component Levee
Inspection tool consisting of:
• Web portal
• Hand-held “ruggedized PC” field
data collector with integrated
GPS and camera
• SQL Server back-end data
warehouse (maintained by
DOTD)
• Paper data collection forms
Levee Asset Management tool
(version 2.x)
• Work Orders
• Permit Tracking

Levee Inspection\Asset Management System
Why did we do it?
“We wanted to provide a state-of-the-art automated
system which Levee Districts could easily use, regardless of
staff size and technical capabilities, that would standardize
the methodology, approach and most importantly, the
reports being generated.“
Why not just use the Corp of Engineers LIS tool?
- No “paper form” data collection process
- The LIS tool is a GIS extension (What does this mean?)
- Much less time needed to generate reports (no photo
matching required)
- This is more of an Asset Management tool than just an
inspection program!
- Levee District specific Inventory collection
Levee Inspection\Asset Management System
Who can use it?
A.
DOTD
B.
C.
D.
OCPR
Any Levee District in the State of Louisiana
All of the above
All development cost has been paid by DOTD, Server hardware, software,
maintenance, web hosting costs are by DOTD; therefore the only cost
to get started using the system is time!
DOTD has Yuma’s for use by “others”.
DOTD can provide training AND supplemental staff for inspections
