Hydrant Tracking Features
The iOps360 Hydrant Tracking module allows you to organize your hydrants, record vital information, activities, defects, and flow tests.
Hydrant Overview
The Hydrant demographic section includes a streamlined view of the information that matters most. Hydrants can be organized by base/station, district, make and model, class, and a hydrant prefix such as County vs City. Hydrants have both GPS coordinates and an address/cross streets to allow for visual mapping or quick searching.
Out of Service History
iOps360 will automatically record the out of service history and calculate the number of days the hydrant has been out of service. Hydrants can quickly be marked in-service and out of service on the Edit Hydrant page.
Activities Performed
Hydrant Activities contain the records of actions performed, defects found, flow tests, and notes/documents. This allows users to record activities in real-time from the field and to keep your hydrant list up to date. Activity types can be customized in the Hydrant section of the System Configuration.
Hydrant Defects
Also in the Activity section is the Hydrant Defects. Staff can easily document any defects found to ensure proper documentation and quick repairs. Defect types can be customized in the Hydrant section of the System Configuration.
Flow Tests
Flow tests can also be recorded inside an activity. GPM calculations are performed with the Static Pressure, Residual Pressure, Pitot pressure, Orifice diameter, and Coefficient using the Hazen-Williams formula. Graphs are included to show the GPM at any residual with a line for 20% Residual.
Hydrant Mapping
The integrated hydrant mapping allows you to quickly see the location and color code of each hydrant. Additional details can be seen by hovering over any hydrant and clicking on a hydrant to make changes.
Nearby Hydrants
When viewing a hydrant, you can quickly locate the closest hydrants by clicking the Nearby Hydrants feature. This indicates the 20 closest hydrants along with the distance and heading. This is useful when performing flow tests or when a hydrant goes out of service.
Hydrant Setup
Users with Sysop permission or Hydrant Admin permission can perform any task, setup the configuration options, and delete any items in the hydrant database. Users can create hydrants, activities, etc but are restricted from deleting any information. Staff should be able to perform any hydrant tasks without any additional permissions.
The Hydrant setup options at in System Config on the Hydrants tab.
Importing Hydrants From Active911
iOps360 has a built-in importer from Active911 to quickly import your map data from Active911 into iOps360. Any user with Hydrant Admin permission can quickly build your hydrant database with a few clicks. Simply click the “Active911 Import” from the Hydrant page and verify which locations to import.
Importing Hydrants From Other Platforms (FireHouse etc)
We have several tools that we can import your hydrant data from FireHouse and other platforms. Send your hydrant information and maintenance records to us to quickly get you up and running.
