Industrial Waste asset types

Note: The asset types that are available to you depend on your access rights and on the asset products that your agency has purchased.


Asset type	Special features
Backflow preventer	Several fields indicate structural information about the backflow preventer, such as its size and pressure zone. Other fields indicate the main and service line that the preventer is associated with. Backflow preventers are attached to service lines and are used to prevent the accidental backflow of industrial waste run-off into buildings.
Lift station	Use the Associated Assets grid to associate other assets with the lift station, such as the nearest manhole or industrial waste node. Several fields indicate structural information about the station, such as wet well and pump dimensions. The Main fields indicate the main that the station is connected to. Lift stations are pumping devices that raise industrial waste from areas that are too low to drain into existing mains. Use the Components tab to define components of the lift station that can be inspected separately.
Main	The Main ID and To fields indicate the assets at each end of the main, such as a node and a manhole. The # field indicates the main's line number if any other mains have the same beginning and ending assets. Use the Associated Assets grid to list the assets that are connected to the main, such as service lines or lift stations. Several fields indicate structural information about the main, such as its slope, design flow, and the elevation of its upstream and downstream ends. Industrial waste mains are pipes or conduits that receive industrial waste from multiple tributaries, such as service lines, and direct the waste toward a treatment plant or other suitable outlet.
Manhole	Use the Associated Assets grid to list the assets that are connected to the manhole, such as a main or service line. Several elements indicate structural information about the manhole, such as its surface cover, its dimensions, and whether it is a drop manhole.
Miscellaneous	Use the Associated Assets grid to associate other assets with the miscellaneous asset, such as the nearest manhole or industrial waste node. Several fields indicate structural information about the asset, such as its color and dimensions. Other fields indicate the main and service line that the asset is associated with. A miscellaneous asset is an asset that does not fall under any of the existing industrial waste asset types, such as a storage container, flow meter, or industrial combustion engine.
Node	Several fields identify the specific node and indicate the main that it is connected to. A node is an attribute of a pipe, such as a joint or change in pipe diameter. It can be used to identify the endpoint of a main.
Service line	Use the Associated Assets grid to list the assets that are connected to the service line, such as a backflow preventer or miscellaneous asset. Several fields indicate structural information about the service line, such as its pipe type and dimensions. Other fields indicate the main that the line is connected to and the specific address of its tap. A service line is a gravity-flow pipeline connecting a building's direct runoff collection system to an industrial waste main.
