Save time on your Phase I ESAs
by creating efficiencies with cStat during your site visits.
Bring technology to your Phase I ESA site reconnaissance with cStat.
The Collateral Status (cStat) environmental site inspection application is an iOS based application for use on an iPad 2 or newer or iPad mini. cStat creates consistency and improves quality during the site reconnaissance portion of your environmental due diligence project. Now with our new report output (Phase I Elements), along with our full memo output and photo page generator, you can save valuable hours when using cStat to complete the site reconnaissance portion of your Phase I ESAs.
cStat does not change the way you conduct your environmental due diligence site reconnaissance, just the manner in which you collect the site information.
The site assessor conducts the site reconnaissance the same way he or she always has; however, now they carry an iPad or iPad mini instead of a notepad and a camera. Rather than randomly taking down notes, filling out a generic checklist, or simply taking a large number of photographs to document the site conditions, the information and photographs are efficiently gathered in cStat in their designated section within the app as shown in the screenshot below.
What are the benefits of cStat after your site reconnaissance is completed?
This is where the true power and flexibility of cStat is realized. The project manager or a senior project manager at the office can review the collected site reconnaissance information online immediately after it has been uploaded in seconds to the cloud. As cStat is a "front-end" solution for your Phase I ESA, the efficiency gains can be realized without requiring you to change the way you write your report or modifying your report template. The information collected with cStat is simply outputted into one or all of the formats below to assist you with your report writing. The video below shows how easily and quickly the outputs are created.
Full Memo Output
All of the site reconnaissance information and photographs gathered into cStat are exported in seconds into a Microsoft Word® document. All of the information is organized and displayed by section with the corresponding photographs displayed below the text. This document not only assists with the report writing, the full memo output makes a valuable QA/QC document for the senior reviewer.
Photo Page Output
Simply select your desired photos from all of the photos stored in the photo library, add the photo description, and create your photo pages in seconds. Each photo page contains six photographs and there is no limit on the number of pages that can be created. The photo pages are produced in a working Microsoft Word® format, allowing easy editing and enhancement of the photos. All unused photographs are retained in the photo library for future reference.
Phase I Elements Output
All of the most pertinent site information from the site reconnaissance is exported into formatted text and tables in a working Microsoft Word® document. The automated output saves you the time needed to fill in tables and produce text, while reducing transcription errors. This output allows you to start the writing of your report with a large portion of the site reconnaissance section already written. The output allows the report writer to simply cut and paste the pre-formatted information into their current report template or online report writing platform.
