Helping you survey drainage systems and culverts so that you can identify blockages, leaks, and pipe damage.
Visual inspections that reveal underground drainage issues
CCTV Surveys use advanced camera technology to inspect pipes and drainage systems so that any issues can be found and repaired.
What are CCTV Surveys?
CCTV Surveys provide detailed visual inspections of underground pipes and drainage systems, which helps you identify issues like blockages, cracks, and damage for targeted repairs. By pinpointing specific problems, you can plan efficient, targeted solutions that save time, money, and resources.
We carry out everything from standard sewer surveys, remote rail culvert investigations, and handheld walk through surveys, ensuring your drainage systems remain functional and compliant with regulations
When do you need a CCTV Survey?
When undertaking construction, renovation, pre adoption or maintenance projects on underground pipes and drainage systems, it’s essential to conduct a thorough visual inspection. Without this evaluation, you might overlook damage, leading to project delays, regulatory issues, and inefficient repairs.
Our CCTV Surveys will accurately assess the condition of your pipes, identify blockages or structural issues, and provide real-time data to inform targeted repairs.
This will help your team make informed decisions, prioritise urgent issues, and streamline your construction, renovation, or maintenance projects.
How do CCTV Surveys work with SDS?
Cutting Edge Technology
We use industry-leading techniques for precise, real-time assessments of underground drainage systems.
- Push Rod Units: Ideal for standard sewer surveys, we use these units to efficiently navigate and inspect smaller pipes.
- Steerable CCTV Crawler Systems: Designed for larger pipes, these cameras capture high-definition footage, navigate bends in pipework, and survey distances of up to 300 meters from a single entry point.
- CCTV Float System: We use this system for challenging environments such as trunk sewers or culverts, if water levels allow.
Expert Insights for Routine and Complex Drainage Needs
Our advanced tools allow us to inspect pipes and culverts ranging from 50mm to over 2 metres in diameter, accommodating projects of varying sizes and complexities.
During the survey, we report on the pipes structural integrity, serviceability and depth. Using the industry standard WinCan VX software, the reports can be tailored to suit any application. With full detailed imagery for areas of concern, our team provides you with recommendations for any repairs required to enable decision making with cost effective solutions.
Our surveyors are trained to WRC Standard MSCC5, a mandatory industry standard, ensuring that the inspections adhere to the highest levels of professionalism and compliance.
We consistently deliver reliable CCTV Surveys that play a crucial role in both routine inspections and complex investigations of underground drainage systems.
