YOUR DOCUMENTS. YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
Bring your checklist.
Check the visible work.
Upload customer directions, guidelines, standards or contract requirements as PDF or Excel files. TruInspector Ai uses the relevant requirements alongside your photos and recorded videos to support a focused assessment.
2. Add the evidence
Identify the site, location and relevant area. Add photos or recorded video, select the assessment type, and attach your requirements for any specific priorities.
3. Review a traceable report
Relevant findings identify the customer document and available page, section or worksheet reference, explain the visible concern, and list corrective actions and missing field checks. Download the report as PDF or Excel.
Customer requirements are identified separately from official regulations. Confirm the applicable edition and scope; an upload does not establish legal applicability or certify compliance. Attachments stay within your signed-in workspace and are not included in public picture links.
Document-reading limits
Excel review uses up to the first 1,000 rows per worksheet and may summarize the content; embedded pictures and charts are not read. Export important diagrams and longer requirements sections as PDF. Use clear, unlocked documents and check source references in the report. Unreadable content, missing measurements, concealed conditions and requirements outside the evidence remain unverified. This is an assisted visual review, not a complete contract audit.

Roadway surface / potholesInterconnected alligator-pattern asphalt cracking.Read picture report
Roadway surface / potholesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The sample image suggests a connected pattern of cracking within the travel surface, with some broken edges and loose aggregate. The visible pattern can identify an area for review but does not show crack width, depth, movement, subsurface condition or the full affected area. A single image cannot establish the maintenance rating for an entire segment.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm route, lane, station and continuous limits on site.
- Measure crack widths, surface movement and affected area; inspect nearby patches and drainage.
- Compare measured conditions with the controlling maintenance criteria and contract.
Recommendation and work plan
Mark and photograph the affected limits under the required traffic control. Have the pavement team determine whether sealing, localized patching or a more extensive repair fits the verified condition. Address drainage or failed material where field evidence supports it. Record the chosen treatment, quantities and responsible reviewer before scheduling work.
Closeout documentation
Photograph the repaired surface from matching viewpoints, record dimensions and materials, and have the responsible team verify the finished ride and surface continuity.
Applicable requirement: Field review required to confirm pavement condition and repair needs. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Unpaved shouldersDrop-offs, erosion and washed-out shoulder material.Read picture report
Unpaved shouldersIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The illustration suggests erosion and a low or irregular unpaved shoulder beside the pavement. Perspective alone cannot establish the drop-off height, slope, crossfall, material depth or distance along the road.
What the inspector should look for
- Measure the pavement-to-shoulder profile at representative points.
- Locate washout limits and check runoff paths and culvert or inlet influences.
- Confirm the applicable state and contract criterion for this shoulder type.
Recommendation and work plan
Protect the work area, shape the shoulder to the approved profile and replace unsuitable material where necessary. Compact and stabilize the repaired section using the controlling specification. Correct a verified drainage source so the same washout does not recur, and document the limits and materials used.
Closeout documentation
Recheck the profile and drainage, then record before-and-after photos and the field measurements.
Applicable requirement: Unpaved Shoulder. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Fence / gatesBent or damaged fence posts and gaps between gates.Read picture report
Fence / gatesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The example depicts bent fence posts and a possible gap at a gate. The view identifies an apparent opening but cannot establish its measured width, whether the gate latches or the full extent of damaged fabric and posts.
What the inspector should look for
- Count consecutive damaged or missing posts and trace the fence line.
- Measure the gate gap and test alignment, latch and closure on site.
- Check the property boundary, access purpose and applicable contract criteria.
Recommendation and work plan
Secure an opening that presents a verified access concern while the repair is planned. Replace or straighten damaged components as appropriate, restore tension and attachment of fabric, and adjust the gate so it closes and latches under normal operation. Use the approved fence and gate details for materials and dimensions.
Closeout documentation
Test the gate, document the repaired posts and continuous fence line, and record measured clearances and materials.
Applicable requirement: Fence; also checks torn fabric and missing posts. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Drainage / ditches / inletsLeaves, vegetation and sediment covering an inlet.Read picture report
Drainage / ditches / inletsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
Vegetation and sediment appear to cover part of an inlet opening. The image shows the surface obstruction only; it does not reveal pipe condition, hydraulic capacity, buried blockage or the level of flooding during a storm.
What the inspector should look for
- Identify the inlet, flow direction and contributing area.
- Measure or document how much of the opening is obstructed and inspect grate condition.
- Check downstream access, standing water and sediment after safe field access.
Recommendation and work plan
Remove vegetation and debris from the grate and throat, dispose of material appropriately and restore the visible flow path. If flow remains restricted, arrange qualified inspection of connected drainage elements. Repair damaged grate or inlet components using the agency-approved detail, and address recurring sediment sources where confirmed.
Closeout documentation
Photograph the open inlet and downstream flow path, document removed material and any follow-up pipe or structure work.
Applicable requirement: Inlets or the actual drainage-asset characteristic. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Tree trimming / vegetationTrees or limbs obscuring signs or encroaching on the roadway.Read picture report
Tree trimming / vegetationIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
A tree limb appears to extend toward a sign or roadside asset in the illustration. The image cannot establish measured clearance, tree condition, right-of-way limits or safe pruning method.
What the inspector should look for
- Measure vertical and lateral clearances from the affected asset or travel path.
- Inspect the limb, tree condition and approach sight line on site.
- Confirm ownership, permits, utility proximity and applicable vegetation criteria.
Recommendation and work plan
Arrange qualified pruning within the verified work limits, protecting traffic and nearby utilities as required. Remove only the growth needed to restore the approved visibility or clearance while preserving tree health. Escalate instability or utility conflicts to the appropriate specialist rather than inferring them from a photo.
Closeout documentation
Photograph the cleared approach, record measured clearance and pruning limits, and schedule follow-up where regrowth is likely.
Applicable requirement: Tree Trimming. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Roadway lightingApparent outages and visible missing hardware.Read picture report
Roadway lightingIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The image can show a missing cover, damaged pole or apparent fixture issue; daytime photographs cannot establish whether a luminaire operates at night. Electrical circuit condition is not visible.
What the inspector should look for
- Record pole or fixture identification and location.
- Verify operation after dark and inspect visible covers, fasteners and pole condition.
- Refer electrical access, isolation and testing to qualified personnel.
Recommendation and work plan
Create a work order for confirmed outage or missing hardware, including fixture ID and evidence. Have an authorized electrical crew test and repair the correct component under approved safety procedures. Replace covers or hardware with compatible parts and check adjacent units if the fault appears shared.
Closeout documentation
Document the repair, tested operation and nighttime result with photos and service records.
Applicable requirement: Lighting; day checks cover poles, covers and hardware. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
All images and findings are illustrative. They show report structure and inspection topics, not actual field evidence or a compliance decision.
FIELD EVIDENCE & REPORTING
Keep the observation
in context.
Select the state, industry, asset or safety topic and work type. Review matched references and field checks alongside the photo or sampled video frame.
Record supported access-road and fence conditions.
Keep photos and qualified reviewer notes with the field record.
Use workplace safety references appropriate to the employer and activity.
SCOPE & QUALIFIED REVIEW
Know what the
evidence can establish.
Rail operations and track safety can involve FRA rules and OSHA jurisdiction limits. TruInspector does not assess track geometry, signaling, railworthiness or operating clearance.
Source matches are preliminary. If a governing requirement is unavailable or outside the selected regulatory reference scope, the record remains unverified.
