Piloting with select DOTs — 2026

Know Every Culvert's Risk.
Before the Storm Hits.

CulvertIQ brings real-time scour calculations, offline field inspection, and instant fleet visibility to state DOT teams — replacing paper, clipboards, and guesswork.

Scour risk scores — calculated on the device

Built for the inspector. Designed for the director.

One platform connects field crews to the office, replaces paper forms, and turns raw observations into defensible risk intelligence — automatically.

Fleet Inspection Management

Track, assign, and monitor every culvert in your district from a single dashboard. Priority queues surface the highest-risk structures first — so teams work smarter, not longer.

Scour Risk, Calculated on the Fly

HEC-14 calibrated scour estimates generate automatically the moment a form is complete. Inspectors see a defensible risk score before they leave the site — no spreadsheets, no wait.

Fully Offline. Always Ready.

No signal? No problem. CulvertIQ works completely offline in remote areas. Photos, video, ratings, and risk scores sync automatically the moment connectivity returns.

Photo & Video Documentation

Up to 10 geotagged photos and a 30-second barrel walkthrough per inspection — captured directly in the app and tied to the culvert record for instant office review.

Standards-Conformant Records

NCHRP 14-26 component ratings, NBI 0–9 condition scale, SNBI-conformant records. Compliance is automatic — not a retrofit or a checkbox exercise.

Instant Access to Every Record

Any inspector, any time, any device. Complete inspection history, photos, scores, and audit trails are available instantly — no VPN, no paper archives, no waiting on the office.

Three steps. One platform. Zero paper.

1

Map Your Fleet

Load your district culvert inventory, pre-ranked by scour risk. The highest-risk structures rise to the top — inspectors know exactly where to go first, no guesswork required.

2

Inspect in the Field

Capture photos, video, and component condition ratings directly in the app — with or without a signal. Guided workflows ensure nothing gets missed on site.

3

Score, Sync, Report

Risk scores compute on-device the moment you complete the form. Records sync automatically and export in SIMSA-ready format — no re-entry, no manual uploads.

Not approximations. Published engineering standards.

CulvertIQ's scour calculations are grounded in HEC-14 outlet scour methods and Manning's velocity equations — the same FHWA-published standards your engineers already trust. Every score is traceable, auditable, and defensible in a procurement or legal context.

Geo-enrichment pulls watershed area, 500-year discharge estimates, basin slope, and soil erodibility automatically — so the inputs that matter most don't require a single manual entry.
