CCTV Inspection Work
CCTV drainage surveying, also known as closed-circuit television drainage surveying, is a technique used to inspect and assess the condition of drainage systems. It involves the use of specialized CCTV cameras that are inserted into the drainage pipes to capture high-quality video footage of the interior.
The primary purpose of CCTV drainage surveying is to identify any issues or defects within the drainage system, such as blockages, cracks, leaks, or structural damage. The surveying process helps determine the overall condition of the pipes, locate specific problem areas, and assess the need for repairs or maintenance.
CCTV drainage surveying is widely used in the construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of drainage systems, as well as in troubleshooting and diagnosing issues within these systems. It allows for a non-destructive and cost-effective assessment of underground pipes, helping to identify problems early and plan targeted repairs or preventive measures.
Here's a general overview of the CCTV drainage surveying process:
Equipment Setup: The CCTV camera system is set up and connected to a display monitor or recording device. The camera is typically mounted on a specialised vehicle or pushed through the drainage pipes manually.
Inspection: The CCTV camera is inserted into the drain or sewer line, and the operator navigates it through the system. The camera captures real-time video footage of the pipe's interior, allowing the operator to visually inspect the condition of the pipes.
Assessment: As the camera moves through the drainage system, the operator carefully examines the footage to identify any signs of damage, blockages, or other issues. This may include cracks, fractures, root intrusion, collapsed sections, sediment buildup, or obstructions.
Documentation: The surveyor records relevant information about the findings, including the location and severity of any defects. They may also take measurements, annotate the video footage, and create a detailed report.
Analysis and Recommendations: Based on the survey findings, the surveyor analyses the data and provides recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance. This could include suggesting pipe relining, excavation and replacement, or other appropriate solutions.
