Photo Documentation for a Highway Construction Project in Georgia
One of the top five engineering companies in the world is managing and overseeing a large highway construction project that spans over five years. The contract requires the consultant to create photo documentation as well as a time lapse-style picture gallery. QNOPY, therefore, provided a complete solution that includes access to the QNOPY Mobile App to capture photos and forms, unlimited cloud storage, multiple backups of the data and photos, photo log generation, and a time lapse photo module.

QNOPY's Photo Log Solution
QNOPY provided a photo log solution with which the client’s inspectors can record daily notes and capture geotagged and timestamped photos. Additionally, inspectors can draw over the photos and over satellite maps. Forms and photos are tagged to either a station or a section of the project. Photo logs can then be exported into Word, Excel, or PDF formats.
