Joint log
Joint numbers, stationing in 0+00, heat numbers on both sides, machine and operator frozen onto
the record at the moment it is filed. Correcting a machine record later cannot rewrite what a
signed joint says.
Qualifications that expire
A joint recorded against a lapsed operator qualification, or a machine past its calibration date,
appears on the open-items list the moment it happens rather than the week an inspector asks.
Safety, on the record
Job safety analyses with their steps and crew sign-on, toolbox talks, incidents and near
misses, and pre-use equipment inspections. Joints fused on a day with no JSA on file show up
on the open-items list on their own.
Blank forms that match
Eight sheets print from the same layout the filed record uses, so a blank cannot drift from
the real form. Fill one in at the machine, enter it when there is signal, photograph the
paper and attach it.
The line on a map
Import the alignment as KML or KMZ — read in the browser, nothing uploaded — and
the joints place themselves along it by station. Photographs land where they were taken, from
the coordinates the camera recorded.
Files on every screen
Scanned forms, certificates, photographs. Nothing is deleted; a file is voided with a reason
and stays. A photograph brings its own date and location with it.
Crew time
Weekly timesheets split by job and cost code, submitted and approved in the app. A day booked
twice to the same job is refused by the database, not by a reminder.
Progress billing
Installed quantity against contract pay items, earned value, and progress invoices whose lines
are stored rather than recomputed. What was billed stays what was billed.
Pressure testing
Hydrostatic tests per ASTM F2164, with the initial expansion phase recorded apart from the hold,
and readings that cannot be edited after the fact.
Turnover
Packages scoped to a run or a station range, with readiness computed from the rest of the
database: missing certs, unaccepted joints, open punch items, failing tests.
