Interior visual records
Review captured images and wall views to document visible surface conditions.
Municipal Manhole Inspection
Create reviewable 3D records of manhole interiors.
Use the MX-100 to capture interior imagery and scan data from ground level, then reconstruct, measure, review, and document the manhole through the supported processing workflow.
The project challenge
Keep the interior available for later review.
A field visit needs to produce evidence that the inspection team can revisit. Interior imagery, reconstructed geometry, and an identified manhole record help reviewers relate observations to the asset and prepare the required documentation.
Useful deliverables
Define the record your team needs.
Reconstructed geometry
Examine point clouds and mesh models produced by the MX-100 processing workflow.
Inspection reports
Combine reviewed observations, supporting views, and agreed project fields in the report.
From planning to handover
A workflow for municipal manhole inspection.
- 01
Prepare the inspection
Check access, equipment, lighting, and the manhole identification fields.
- 02
Collect from ground level
Follow the quick start guide’s setup, lowering, rotation, and return procedure.
- 03
Reconstruct and review
Process the BAG recording, align the model, and inspect the available outputs.
- 04
Document findings
Record reviewed observations and export the agreed inspection record.
Project requirements
Agree these requirements before capture.
- Site procedure. Plan support, access control, and local safety measures for the opening.
- Lighting and motion. Follow the guide’s capture precautions and keep movement controlled.
- Software access. Confirm the processing version, licensing, and any AI-assisted features before evaluation.
- Report requirements. Agree asset identifiers, observation fields, supporting images, and review responsibilities.

Does ground-level capture remove all entry and safety requirements?
The MX-100 supports collection from above the opening. The site procedure and qualified personnel determine the access and safety measures required for each inspection.
Is the downloadable BAG file ready to view as a finished model?
It is a source recording requiring compatible MX-100 processing software. The quick start guide describes reconstruction, alignment, and output review.
