Stormwater Inspection Load with stormwater inspection points of 90 locations: a worked example

Push stormwater inspection points up to 90 locations and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. an environmental team needs to understand workload or loading for stormwater inspection load

The inputs for this scenario

  • Stormwater inspection points: 90 locations (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 36)
  • Average time per inspection point: 0.45 hr / location (unchanged)
  • Compliance window: 5 days (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Stormwater Inspection Load = stormwater inspection points × average inspection time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 40.5 hr for stormwater inspection load, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.1 hr / day for stormwater inspection hours per day.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 90 locations for stormwater inspection point count.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.45 hr / location for average inspection time.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where stormwater inspection points sits at 36 locations and the headline result is 16.2 hr, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 40.5 hr.
  • It computes total stormwater inspection labor — inspection points times average time per point — and divides that across the compliance window to give an hours-per-day support rate. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Stormwater Inspection Load: 40.5 hr (headline result)
  • Stormwater inspection hours per day: 8.1 hr / day
  • Stormwater inspection point count: 90 locations
  • Average inspection time: 0.45 hr / location
