POSM Software 11 Now Certified for NASSCO’s PACP and LACP Version 8 Standards

POSM 11 and PACP Version 8

April 2025 – POSM 11 is officially certified by NASSCO to support the latest PACP and LACP Version 8 standards. This release ensures that inspectors, municipalities, and asset managers can code and grade pipelines using the most up–to–date industry guidelines.

What’s New in PACP Version 8?

NASSCO's Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP), along with LACP and MACP, has received its first major update since 2015. Version 8 incorporates nearly a decade of field feedback and best practices. Highlights include:

• Updated defect codes for pressure pipes, access points, and materials.
• Expanded use of modifiers to better represent conditions in force mains and post–rehab surveys.
• New pipe use codes for perforated and non–sanitary systems, reflected in grading.
• Enhanced grading scores to give clearer, more actionable condition results.
• New surface damage codes, including SPP for surface damage pitting or corrosion.

With Version 8, NASSCO has sunset support for PACP Version 6 and earlier, making V8–compliant software essential.

Built for the Future of Inspection

POSM 11 has been updated to align fully with PACP Version 8's coding structure, grading logic, and reporting requirements. Our team worked closely with NASSCO during certification to ensure inspections performed in POSM match the latest training and documentation standards.

• Accurate classification of both new and aging infrastructure.
• Reports that reflect updated grading and risk logic.
• Compliance with clients demanding PACP V8 deliverables.

Upgrade to POSM 11

If you're using an older version of POSM or preparing to train inspectors on PACP Version 8, now is the right time to upgrade. POSM 11 gives you a future–ready platform for CCTV, lateral, and manhole inspections that aligns with the latest NASSCO standards.
