Case Study: Rodriguez Consulting LLC achieves efficient hydrant inventory and field QA/QC with Fulcrum

Rodriguez Consulting inventories 1,000+ hydrants in 4 weeks with Fulcrum

Rodriguez Consulting LLC faced a challenge when hired by the Philadelphia Water Department to inventory over 1,000 decommissioned high-pressure fire hydrants and document removal impacts. The initial assumption was to use inefficient paper maps and digital cameras for this large-scale field survey across 56+ miles of roadway. They turned to the Fulcrum platform to manage this asset inventory project more effectively.

Using Fulcrum, Rodriguez Consulting built a custom app to collect hydrant locations, photos, and attributes like pavement type on iPads. The solution enabled real-time QA/QC and progress tracking via a cloud dashboard and Google Earth streaming. With Fulcrum, two field teams completed the survey in four weeks, delivering all data through a user-friendly interface that allowed the client to view everything in one system.
