Maliru for drainage
Call-outs, surveys and cleansing rounds, one board.
Drainage mixes urgent call-outs with methodical survey runs. Maliru gives each its own workstream, so the P1 blockage and the manhole-to-manhole survey both land on the right screen for the right crew.

What usually goes wrong
- Call-outs and surveys competing for the same crews with no shared view
- Survey runs recorded in one tool, photos in another, the report in a third
- Confined-space tickets and training expiring quietly
How Maliru fits
- Workstreams — Blockages and call-outs as a standard job type; CCTV surveys as a route with pipe and length fields.
- Field capture — Photos, notes and forms captured at the manhole, attached to the run.
- Credentials — Confined-space and safety tickets that warn before they lapse, with a scannable ID card.
- Reports — A colour-coded completion report per route with your logo on it.

Your board, shaped for drainage
Two workstreams a drainage operation typically runs, with the columns and statuses it would name. Rename anything; import your own sheet and Maliru builds the board from it.

Questions drainage teams ask
Can we attach survey footage?
Files, photos and notes attach to the job. Large footage is best kept in its own store with the link on the job.
How are priorities handled?
Add a priority field to the call-out workstream and sort or filter the board by it. Statuses are yours to name.
Do you track tickets and training?
Yes. Credential types with expiry, evidence on file, and warnings before anything lapses.
