ODK Data
ODK (Open Data Kit) is the method used to collect data for bridge inspections. This data is stored in the BAMS (Bridge Asset Management System) hosted by SirWay.
Bridge inspections were conducted using ODK from 2018 to 2025. Photos for this round are saved in:
- BAMS by SirWay: download the file "BAMS_FINNOC_Bridge Inspection.zip", and open the "media" folder.
ODK data before and including 2024 is currently stored in the AWM system (as at 22/01/2026), and is undergoing validation.
