Abstract: Improved techniques for documenting and correcting deficiencies indentified during inspections are provided. Exemplary embodiments may use a portable electronic device, running an application to document inspection results. The application may provide a series of user interfaces and menus to support recordation of the inspection results. This portable electronic device may interface with a computer system over a computer network. Through this interface, an inspector may upload inspection results, which may include digital images, generate reports, and provide notification of deficiencies. Work orders may be generated and forwarded to appropriate entities for correction. The system may enable real-time collaboration during inspections and also during correction of deficiencies.

Abstract: This invention provides a duct cover system for ducts installed in exposed locations. For use primarily with ducts having generally rectangular cross sections, the duct cover system provides a roof over the duct that may be integral with the duct or retrofitted to the duct. The roof includes at least one cover panel extending along the duct length. The cover panel is inclined laterally relative to the duct bottom wall thereby to shed water and prevent snow accumulation.
