Comprehensive deliverables
Vertical Access offers a system of collecting inspection data while working at-height called TPAS (Tablet PC Annotation System). With TPAS, data is collected and documented at the point and time of observation. Annotations including types and quantities of faults and other anomolies with high resolution photographs are entered directly into AutoCAD drawings enabling fast turn-around of reports. Visit www.vertical-access.com/tpas.html for more information.
