Abstract: An embodiment provides for storing, in a server, pipe segment data, e.g., pipe scan data derived from a pipe inspection robot that traversed through an interior of the segment of pipe. The pipe scan data may include three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) image data of the interior of the segment of pipe, where the 2D image data includes a flat graph formed from the 3D image data. In one example, infrastructure summary data is stored in the server, including a level of corrosion and a level of sediment buildup determined based on the pipe scan data. An infrastructure project summary report is based on the infrastructure summary data, and after receiving a request from a client device, the pipe segment data and the infrastructure project summary report are transmitted to the client device.
