About Drainage CCTV Surveys
Drainage CCTV Surveys involve the inspection, assessment and mapping of underground drainage infrastructure using remotely operated camera systems. The survey provides valuable information on the location, condition and connectivity of drainage networks, helping clients identify defects, verify asset records and make informed maintenance or design decisions.
At Apex Surveys, CCTV investigations are carried out as part of a wider geospatial surveying service. By combining CCTV inspections with topographic surveys, underground utility surveys, drainage mapping and BIM deliverables, we provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of both the condition and location of their drainage assets.
Drainage Asset Mapping
Drainage networks often form a critical part of the underground infrastructure on a site. Our CCTV surveys can be used to verify drainage layouts, confirm connectivity between chambers, identify unknown pipe routes and validate existing records.
Information collected during the survey can include:
This information can be incorporated directly into CAD drawings, utility survey deliverables and BIM models.
Defect Identification
CCTV inspections provide a detailed assessment of the structural and operational condition of drainage assets.
Common defects identified include:
Cracks and fractures
Joint displacement
Root ingress
Debris accumulation
Blockages
Collapsed pipework
Infiltration
Deformation
Structural deterioration
Defects are referenced, photographed and reported with chainage information to allow accurate location and assessment.
Integrated Survey Deliverables
At Apex Surveys, CCTV inspections can be fully integrated with our underground utility mapping, topographic surveying and BIM services to provide a coordinated, information-rich deliverable. Where required, identified defects can be accurately located and plotted onto CAD drawings or incorporated into BIM models, allowing engineers, contractors and asset owners to quickly understand both the condition and precise location of drainage assets.
This integrated approach provides a single source of information for design, maintenance and asset management purposes, reducing the need to cross-reference multiple reports, drawings and datasets.
Deliverables can include:
